My experiences are pretty unique (medical torture - especially not to the extent it happened to me - doesn't happen a lot I think, especially not at my age), so no, I don't think so.

Well, I've also had two (experienced) physical therapists (one of them being highly experienced and educated, and regarded as an expert in her field) who had never heard of cross-dominance and insisted I had to be either left- or righthanded. (For those who don't know what it is: very short version: cross-dominance is basically writing with your left hand and using scissors with your right, or similar things. It's not the same as ambidexterity, which means you're able to write with both hands)

Just remembered.. last week on my blood work I had such a weird cell in my blood (a deformed red blood cell or something), the person working in the lab had to consult with the hematologist to find out what it was and when they faxed the blood work report to my pdoc, he also had to call the hematologist to ask what cell that was because he'd never heard of it. xD And more stuff like that. My body is.. unique.

I've had a lot of therapists and my pdoc who hadn't heard what I said before, or how my thought processes work, or what happened to me, or even what weird thing my body is doing this time (I have like three organs that work correctly.. well that's a bit of an exaggaration but you get the point.. and none of the incorrectly-working things work incorrectly in the usual way, if you get what I mean), but they've never made me feel like a freak about it. They just listen, occasionally do some research or consult with colleagues, and help to the best of their abilities.
