Last year, my doctor (actually an NP) put me on birth control to deal with irregular periods. It seemed okay for a couple months, and then I got The Period From Hell. I mean FROM HELL: insanely heavy bleeding for a solid month, crazy pain, fever, exhaustion, the works. For a month I couldn't move around without blood clots going everywhere. It was disgusting and painful. On top of that, the BC started giving me daily migraines.
I told my NP, and she shrugged and switched me to a different birth control.
Six months later, I've just learned that I have ovarian cysts, and she told me, "If you experience any really heavy bleeding, especially with a lot of clots, or an unusual amount of pain or high fever, call us right away or go to the emergency room because that's a very serious sign." WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT WHEN I TOLD YOU ALL THOSE THINGS WERE HAPPENING?????
So....I should probably find a new doctor. But the EFFORT D: Plus, I'm moving out of the area in a year, so I'll probably just stick with this practice until then and go to specialists for the serious stuff. I just needed to rant >:(
I think I need a new doctor
