Re: Campus health rant

I'm really sorry you had that experience. But please do try to get help. You're entitled to be taken seriously.

Can you bring a friend along? Even if they're the same age, it might still help to have someone with you who can ask questions you may not think of, or just provide moral support so you don't feel so alone and have someone backing you up.

Worse comes to worst, do you have access to medical care outside your campus health center?

It might help, too, to go in with a plan. I get the sense that the first time you went in, it was a semi-emergency and the possibility of not being taken seriously didn't occur to you (and honestly, why should that have to occur to you? We should be able to trust that doctors will help us!). Now, take advantage of the experience and use it to plan ahead about how you'll describe your symptoms and how you'll respond if you feel like they aren't taking you seriously enough. It's possible that you'll have more of an advantage going in with a clearer head. You can also emphasize how long these problems have been going on.
