I completely agree with this. I've found that they often get it wrong in the ways you've described. One time I mentioned fluid retention in my ankles which I had never had prior to taking the medication he had prescribed. He took a look, and he looked surprised. He said ''yes you have, if it continues, go and see the GP'' I might have been reading ''too much'' into his look of surprise... but I suspect he may have thought of me as ''just another neurotic patient who blows physical symptoms out of proportion or even imagines them''... as another medico had Wrongly observed about me... after one ugly conversation. Grrrr
eta. ''when another time they would say just the opposite''.... I won't even share what the scary bad thing a psychologist said about one of my physical issues I had recently been diagnosed with. It's hard not to think he was being intentionally malicious. And I am not ''paranoid''...
''Plently of times they are wrong''... I absolutely agree.
A different T (the mean T had got rid of me as I didn't feed him enough supply...) said in a mean voice ''you have put on weight''.... I had started taking a med notorious for weight gain a few months before..
