saifai | Change of Doctor

I think it might come as no surprise to many of you the distaste I hold in doctors. Generally speaking, at least.

My doctor has recently canceled my migraine prescriptions in favor of having a checkup. In case you were wondering, I've been without my migraine medication for a couple weeks now. It's been... difficult, at best.

I wasn't bothered by this when the news first came. However, since then I find myself doubting my doctor. A checkup is perfectly reasonable and expected. After the events of a few years past with my severe allergic reactions to sulfa drugs, as well as the resulting complications that I suffer from to this day, I find myself without confidence in my doctor.

It took me so long to find him. I don't trust people in the medical profession easily. But I think it might be time to find someone new. Even my mother, who at one time was hesitant to offer any advice on the subject (or recommend anyone) for fear of getting caught in the crossfire, has expressed an interest in the subject. She suggested I call for a checkup with her own doctor this time, rather than my own.

I'm seriously considering it. Perhaps a fresh perspective on my medical problems may be of some use.

I have time to think it over. I won't have money for a visit until at least a couple months after work starts up again for me (which is in just over a week). But it's something I'm seriously considering in the mean time.
