    I spent all day yesterday in doctor's offices and I thought I would go nuts by the time it was over. Does anyone else feel this way? Has anyone ever tried to explain this to the office as to maybe get rushed in and out more quickly??? I wanted to scream! I felt like the air I was breathing was contaminated.


    In the morning I had to go to my family doctor to try to sort things out as far as the seroquelmaing me overweight and what the best way to lose thiswould be. I was with her for about 2 hours and she wanted me to stay for 3 more to do another glucose test. I couldn't because I had to get my daughter to her afternoon appointment. She hurt her hand in basketball, so we had to make sure nothing was broken. No kidding we sat in the room waiting for the doctor for an hour! Jade had to use the bathroom a few times. I didn't go with her. I kept noticing she had goosebumps on her arms and her face would get red and then she would go. Later she told me she was having a little diarrhea. Great.. I'm glad I didn't know this at the time, although I wondered what the deal was. She just kept saying she had to pee again. Anyway.. We finally get out of the office and go wait in x-ray for another hour. I heard the woman who took Jade back to be x-rayed say "I should go home now so that I can stop breathing on people". Oh goody... I could not wait to get out of there! We are supposed to go back to the same building tonite for her allergy shot and I seriously do not know that I have it in me. It exhausted me. Does anyone else feel this way???

    Yes, I completely avoid the doctor at all costs, I have to be seriously ill to actually step into a dr's office. And I panic the whole time I'm in there too. I won't touch anything, I cover my hands with my shirt sleeves to open the doors, I refuse to use the restrooms. I always feel like I'm catching so many diseases and illnesses when I'm in these offices, no matter how clean they are.


    That's awful about hearing the lady say she should go home and stop breathing on people. [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]
    Take small account of might, wealth and fame, for they soon pass and are forgotten. Instead, nurture love within you and and strive to be a friend to all. Truly, compassion is a balm for many wounds.

    I feel similar when I see the doc. I hate being surrounded by tons and tons of sick people, but then I also realize that they are probably just as sick as me - hence whey they are there in the first place. I just try and sit away from people and wait my turn. Because of my work situation,I usually have to go after school or whenever I can get in --- It isn't pleasant no matter what!
