I’ve never been called attention seeking by the medical community (as their appalling treatment of me has led me to avoid them, amongst other things) but yes, some people are far too quick to slap derogatory labels on someone, these people have an inability to understand the level of pain... as another poster said. Avoid them if you can, they aren’t worth your time.. as for the medical community, it saddens me if they label someone as anything (its often wrong anyway, in my experience) and use it as an excuse to “justify” their lack of care
