Whelp, I got more complaining to do. Had my damn doctor appointment. Barely made it cause I had a panic attack and minor but uncontrollable shaking right when I needed to leave. I do manage to make it to the car and it's tough to keep it together mentally in the car especially cause today is like 94 degrees out and heat is a big anxiety trigger for me but I make it. My mind is incredibly unfocused at this point but I'm at the doctors at least. We end up being only 3 minutes late so not a huge deal.

We don't have to wait too too long in the first waiting area, about 15 minutes, then the nurse takes me back and weighs me (still 165 lbs), and does the normal asking me whats wrong and why I'm in there thing. When we are nearly done with that the doctor opens the door and then goes "oh, I didn't realize you were still talking to the patient" and then he leaves. The nurse finished all that stuff about 1 minute later. Then we wait a fucking hour for the doctor to come back in. I'm having a damn panic attack and feel nauseous and after like 45 minutes the nurse comes in and tells us sorry for the wait but the patient that was supposed to be after us was being irate so the doctor saw him first.

WHAT THE FUCK!!! I was about ready to go out and punch someone. Guess I need to be more irate next time if I want prompt service.

The dr was apologetic when he came in and ordered the test I expected (upper endoscopy). So far no doctor has done more than a simple google search would tell you to do. Why am I wasting time with all this? That's at least scheduled on the 30th so not TOO long of a wait but that means it's at least a few weeks longer till this could be over at the earliest. Mild concern for my heart issues but of course that isn't his area of expertise so I still have to worry that I'm dying every night.

None of them seem to comprehend how time is of the essence to me. When scheduling stuff they were acting like waiting longer would be what I want. Every day is basically the worst day of my life. Why would I want more of those? It's a crisis every single day and the doctors don't seem to comprehend this on a fundamental level like I'm moving my mouth but no sounds are coming out or something. And I mean, thats best case. That assumes nothing dire is actually the matter and just my mental well being is at stake. If something actually is wrong waiting could be actively making my quality of life go down permanently or just be straight up killing me.

So yeah, basically what I've come to expect from a doctor visit. I feel like this won't end until I do enough research to solve it myself.
