I dropped my PCP after she put me on the wrong antibiotic for MRSA.

My sciatic doctor insists on surgery. I refuse and he says I'm not in pain. He can't guarantee he won't sever the spine but I should trust him.

My new retina specialist did a half-assed exam and didn't inform me a year ago I showed signs of glaucoma. When inspecting my eye, she claimed my detached retina surgery was done sloppily. Every eye doctor has commented on how well it was done by the head retina surgeon at Mass a Eye & Ear.

How about the doctor who diagnosed pain behind my shoulder as gout? I have no memory of it but two days later I was admitted to the hospital and they drained two gallons of fluid from one lung.

The doctor who told CNAs to be turn me every hour when first paralyzed. He didn't say to see if I was wet. Four days later I had a large wound on my back so deep you could see to my spine. I still need plastic surgery on it. Six months of pain until it healed.

They give service dogs for loneliness but disabled people need to beg for years and suffer. You need to find a better doctor who understands your needs.
