fellow citizens of the free world, do you have similar experiences to share? is this what it's like in other countries? i don't remember it being *this* bad before.
I just don't see doctors. I have money and insurance I've just developed a phobia. Reading about your experience definitely makes me want to skip it unless I absolutely need it. Wouldn't recommend what I'm doing but I'm stopping unless I get really sick or hurt.
lol i assure you doctors are pieces of shit everywhere, and nurses are even worse somehow
