1st world problems, when you don't have decent problems, make your own silly ones
But the thing with GPs, I have had that frustration and for a good reason. When I was fifteen I realized that I probably had migraine and that it needed to be checked out. I went to my GP, explained my symptoms and all she did was prescribe a NSAID, that gave me side-effects but no pain relief. Two years later when I started working and we had a GP in the private sector (as opposed to mine, who worked in the municipal sector), she took me seriously and gave me straight away a prescription for the migraine medicine I still use today and two weeks later I was diagnosed by a neurologist. My GP did fuck up, for two years I went through unnecessary pain, just because she didn't take me seriously.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
