.. an annoyed patient

Author: Celeste | Filed under: Uncategorized

Ok, so I went to student health today, as I had a little accident on Sunday night (I missed the bottom stair in the hallway and ended up going head-first into the wall). My neck went crunch, and ended up having a headache all night, and on and off since. My neck is sore in places when I turn my head in some ways, so I thought I would get it checked out just in case.

I got a female doctor today, the other doctor that I have seen is only in on Wednesdays and Fridays. As soon as this woman (who looked in her late 30s maybe) showed me into her office I felt really uncomfortable. It is hard to explain, but her de-meaner just got me on edge. It was like I could feel her thinking that she was so much better than me because she was a doctor. And that she was not interested at all in me as her patient. She just wanted to get things over with as quickly as possible. And any smile or interest she showed just seemed fake.

I don’t care how long she studied, or how hard, there is nothing that gives her the right to make me feel belittle by just body language and facial expressions. She knows nothing about me. I guess I am judging her back, but at least it wasn’t instantly on my behalf.
