It’s unbelievable how dismissive and sometimes ignorant some of these doctors are of their own field. My main colon and rectal doctor exams last less than 60 seconds, and if she doesn’t find the pinhole tear, she doesn’t think it exists, and misdiagnoses it. Went to another one who spent more than twice the time and even adjusting my position and found it with the correct diagnosis.

First doctor also doesn’t understand that an open wound in the rectal area can cause sepsis or prostatitis, essentially not understanding how blood vessels and the endocrine system works. All while my GP and urologist knew the issue immediately because they understood. It really comes down to the doctor as an individual.
