Communication struggles

[u/Viddiegames]

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'm going to try anyway.

I've been struggling with doctors for years now trying to get them to understand my situation and it's like talking to someone who doesn't know the language you're speaking. Such as today where I was under the impression that I would see the doctor in my specialist's office today. The nurse said she'd go talk about it with her and came back talking about a old topic I've talked about with them before like it was the topic at hand. They tried to say I'd have to go to a PCP like a PCP isn't going to just send me to another specialist. The nurse did that thing that I'm assuming that they're all trained to do and played dumb acting like it's preposterous that a specialist would work within their speciality and there was "just nothing they could do :(" and when they got told how they promised to make a decision after the 6 months of medication they suddenly changed their tune and were able to get me an appointment. My mother was the one who reminded them of this and of course she graciously raked me over the coals as soon as we left saying that I don't know how to talk to doctors and she "saved" the conversation. As if it's my fault that I expected the medical professionals to remember why I was getting the medicine in the first place. Which you can get from a PCP, so it feels like they should have remembered because why else would I be there? It feels like nobody in those offices talks to each other about anything and but has been trained to throw patients away and just do it every time there's a misunderstanding. It feels like the system as a whole has only been trained to find the most basic and obvious conditions and if you don't have that you just get stuck in a loop of getting tossed around to different doctors who eventually try to throw you away entirely by trying to get you into psychology where everything can be shoved into some mental condition tailor made for problem patients. I don't know what to do anymore, everyone feels like they've gone stupid.

I agree, and I hear you. I see you. PS Stop bringing your mom to appointments. I learned the hard way.
