GP called my cuts scratches!!!

Ok I had to go to family doctor for my 3 month blood test. A month ago I mentioned cutting but he didn't see anything but I also only cut on the inside forearm and generally 1 inch.

So last week was pure HELL and I never cut:

A) on the top of my forearm.

B) I have several 4 and 5 inch cuts at the top of my forearm. Which can not be explained away as the cat scratched me! Since they are quite deep and not that narrow.

C) Saturday afternoon I was cutting right across my wrist which I have never ever done.

D) My arm is a ****en mess and my wife said that if I had walked into emerg with my arm the way it is they would have admitted me right then and there.

Maybe I am being over sensitive? But I don't know, I do know that my friend in the building has seen some of my cuts but since I went full out I see her looking at my arm more then she did before.

Doctors can be assholes!

I agree about the assholes

Sending hugs

GPs can be so insensitive. I went to get my meds (antidepressants) evaluated, and my dad insisted on coming with me to make sure they 'listened' to me. Well, I also had a rash on my wrist at the time, so I asked if she could prescribe some cream for it -- so what did she do but grab my sleeve and pull it right back, exposing scars up my arms, THEN, just in case my dad hadn't noticed, she said, in a tone I didn't care for, 'have you been hurting yourself?' Gee, thanks. Not awkward at all...

Now if that was me that GP would of been in the hospital but hayyy that's just Me report her xxx

LWolfie, so you felt minimized?

Sorry Lwolfie. Dr's arent perfect. I had one say my chest xray was "inconcusive" and then went to a specialist who told me i had pnuemonia from looking at same xray!! That dr always treated me like a hypochondriac. Another time i asked to be tested fir hpilori. He said "i'll test you but you don't have it. You just need to eat more fiber." I was a 7 th day adventist vegetarian . About ALL i ate
was fiber. He didnt believe me. Guess what? Test came back positive. I finally changed doctors.
Is your Dr always minimizing of your concerns? Can you change providers?

I can understand that, when I had a doctor see some of my SI he totally dismissed me. Instead of believing I was telling the truth about why I came in and instead thought I was only there because I wanted atention. It's crap how they can treat you because of it. Are you able to change doctors?

And that isn't necessarily true about being admitted. Just because you SI on your wrist does not mean that you will automatically be admitted. They'll ask you if you are suicidal and if you tell them no they won't admit you. Sometimes inpatient will be suggested but you won't be involuntarily admitted. I know that is how it was for me, and from every other person I've talked to about it.

Yes I did. A crisis team came to my house last night and when I told her what he said she asked the same thing Sannah.

LWolfie

I'm sorry that you were treated that way and that you felt minimized.

I spent over an hour once talking er out of admitting me for cut on ANKLE i guess because i lost control and cut too deep. I told them i wasnt suicidal. Im sorry, Wolfie. People are morons sometimes. I guess no one knows how to handle si.
