  • My experience with the medical industry… has not been great.

    First, I went to a doctor because I couldn’t fall asleep at night… They sent me to get a sleep apnea test… I laid awake in the clinic all night. idk if your aware of this, but … you kind of need to be able to sleep for sleep apnea to be a concern.

    Next I went in for depression and anxiety. They asked me 12 questions, and proceeded to prescribe me SSRIs and benzos. A month later I got into the psychiatrist and was bitched out for being late, told my issues were situational, and had my scripts cancelled.

    Next I tried to get diagnosed for ADHD. I waited 5 months to get a psychiatrist who told me I couldn’t be ADHD because I held a job… And then proceeded to tell there’s no such thing as CPTSD, only PTSD…

    Next I asked my doctor for another referral to get tested for ADHD, he asked me why I would want to, there’s nothing that can be done for it. He then gave me a form, and told me to fill it out, and that if I scored high we’d conclude I was ADHD.

    Now I’ve been unemployed for 8 months, bordering on homelessness 😅 I found all my old report cards, and it’s just my teachers bitching that I’m smart, but fail, because I don’t apply myself, and shouldn’t continue taking the class…

    I went to an employment agency the other money to try, and get some help pursuing my goals, and the worker spent 45 minutes explaining to me how they receive their funding, getting me to fill out a 16 page introduction package, never looked at my resume, and told me my certifications weren’t valued in my area…

    In all honesty… AI has waaaay more ability to help me troubleshoot my issues than any medial professional I’ve dealt with. Is it perfect? No, but I actually have the ability to double and triple check, to get citations, to ask followup questions.
