It never fails to amaze me how incredibly rude and dismissive some doctors and nurses are. Why if someone is struggling with depression would you seek help from someone that talks down to you and treats you like crap? I wonder how many people have killed themselves after going to the wrong doctor or because a nurse acted like a hateful judgemental asshole…

I do think that some of them really don’t care, perhaps they just want the title that comes with the job.
I witnessed a lot of that when my far away sweetheart got really sick. It’s completely false that nurses and doctors are “natural caretakers with more empathy”. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Some doctors genuinely care, but the exception, not the rule.
They can be horrible. When I was a lot more ill and finally managed to see some doctors, even the well meaning ones made me feel terrible. They were insensitive and acted as though my problems barely existed, which is more than enough to break someone so vulnerable.
