Do you think it is ever helpful to compare people's pain?

fyi several doctors have done that to me. I did not appreciate it and other behaviours on their part pointed to the fact that they were trying to fob me off, not to help, for example one doctor saying "my three children have severe eczema!"... that was confirmed by several sources over several years that was a lie. Easy to confirm IRL. I do not think doctors should lie to fob people off. It stinks of unprofessionalism. It was a serious issue to me as I was deeply concerned about passing on severe chronic eczema having experienced that myself for several years (all over my face and body. YUCK) Amazingly enough I had some good relationships with people including men during that time, perhaps they could see some inner beauty or some attractiveness beneath my injured skin......although I also had my share of disgusted looks at times from strangers and even so called friends. Who did not last long.

It had a huge negative impact on my life. I did not want any child of mine to suffer that when it could be PREVENTED by proper care. All the doctor said to that is "you are the worried well"....."you are well informed"...."there is no proof"

stuff the bullcrap doctors in this world
