I can't stand my pulmonologist. I have asthma all my life.

My husband, who was a doctor, is always stunned at the way I get treated. He goes in and wham and boom and a couple of Yahoos and he is in a bed with IVs and released the next day because they just wanted to observe. I was in the ER and the female doctor asked me what was going on and I told her that I was out walking and my chest felt tight in a way it never had and I was having PVC's. I am a retired ICU nurse. Of course she did not know that but knew all about my husband because they had had a nice long chat before she even looked at me. Once she heard me say PVC's she put her hand on her hip and looked at me and asked me, "Well where did we hear all about PVC's?" I got up and left, I would rather have died. Every single time I go to the doctor, which is rare because damn they treat you like you have no business taking up their time, he goes because he still thinks I am making this up. I never come out of an office with even a diagnosis just a "complaint". Thankfully the doctor who takes care of a problem I have had since I was 20 listens and does what he can in his specialty. He happens to be our governors husband and we talk about how much she loves it and work is so interesting to her. Just an aside, it makes it even cooler when I go in. It is a mess and I hope this is not why you are not being neglected.
