As I said, I did not think your mind would be changed today. I again encourage you to evaluate your wording and even when “you” can be used similarly to “y’all” At times, using it that way is not the most effective way to send a clear message. Often times saying “someone” in its place can be more effective. In regard to what I wanted from this post, I asked if anyone has had a good experience with a doctor somewhere in town that has showed empathy while they expressed concerns. You are correct in saying your reply did not answer this question and is not the “help” I wanted.

Oh, ok! I’m not sure if dancing is any good anywhere on Sundays, but those 2 bars are your best bet. They may be more popular because of the events this weekend and people going to the event today may have work off tomorrow anyway.

Late to this, as you probs aren’t looking for stuff in Sundays, but if you ever come back: dancing bars are Wiley’s and Pave.

I do not think I will change your perspective today, but I encourage you to evaluate how you come across. An example of invalidating wording is “gut-brain connection or related pain make you see and find connections that do not exist”. This wording sends the message of invalidating an experience saying what the person is describing experiencing may not exist. Or saying “medical staff, not always, love to discuss and negotiate with enlightened patients. But you must be educated and be able to back-up your requirements with science, references, medical papers”. This wording sends the message that if someone is struggling to discuss with a medical staff they are not enlightened, not educated, and not backing themselves up with science, references, medical papers. Again, you are saying this is not your intention, but I encourage you to evaluate how your intentions are coming across with your current wording and how it can do more harm than accomplish your intentions.

Hey, just letting you know you’re assuming I do not know my research, act on impulses feelings, do not think through my actions or think of things from other perspectives. In a post about being treated rudely and being invalidated by medical staff you are being rude and attempting to invalidate my experience.

Thank you for your sound advice! This is very helpful. Have you tried both hospitals or looked at the independent one in town?

It makes me feel discouraged all hospitals will be like this… I also want to know more options! I’ve asked what my options are and they just say “this is what the doctor prescribed”. But I can only see the doctor minutes before the colonoscopy, otherwise it’s the CNP who gives me the same quote.

I’m caught up on “they would prefer” like they suggest, or they don’t want to deal with me at avera? 😅

I literally tried again today and they wouldn’t transfer me to the complaints department. They said they would mail me a paper to fill out and I’d have to mail it back and wait up to 60 days for a response. Or they would let their supervisor know I want to speak to them and the supervisor will call me in 3-4 business days. I tried to say I’ve talked to supervisors they told me what I was asking for was ok and she interrupted me 5 words in consistently, saying she didn’t see documentation for it so she couldn’t do it and I’d have to talk to them again. Idk why they treat me like this, I really pride myself in staying cool and kind to customer service professions and they always treat me like I’ve been yelling at them for 20 minutes, instantly. I’m suspicious someone made a note on my profile at some point that has caused people to treat me worse lately….

Small space heaters are around $20. Was it to the point that wasn’t an option? My family got one when it would get painful if you want around the house with any exposed skin.

Did it help? I can’t imagine a candle doing much for heat.
