Re: Diagnosis: fucked up

[(Anonymous)]

Look, I know you have cultural issues with doctors - I've read through your replies. And so I'm not just repeating what others have said just to have a say in this thread. I'm writing this comment to try to clarify something others have not said. And that is this: you have two choices and only two choices, go to the doctor or don't.

You know (or can imagine) what will happen if you don't: you health will probably get worse. Your family may end up ostracising you anyway for being 'weak' in this eventuality. If your health gets bad enough you may end up in a situation where you'll be taken to a hospital against your will no matter what, e.g. if you collapse in a public place. (I don't know how the US health system works but I assume that would more expensive than going to a GP now.) And, worse case scenario, you may die.

Or you could go to the doctor now. Your family might give you a hard time about it - or you might be able to explain your health was bad enough to justify it, even in your culture. Or you could just not tell them. Yes, you might not get any answers - or you might need several follow up visits, visits to specialists, various medications and a lot of cash to get healthy again. Or your problem might be as simple to solve as one (secret) visit and one piece of advice e.g. cut out a certain type of food. Most likely scenario is that, if it doesn't save your life, a doctor's visit would save your quality of life. And if it doesn't well, no harm no foul and more grist to your culture's anti-medical mill, right? (Not that I agree with that type of thinking.)

But it is really one of those two choices. And the choice not to go to the doctor is the choice not to change your situation. It may be a hard choice to make, but the breakdown of your choices is simple. If you were to ask me (the distinguished anon I am) I would, as you can probably guess, tell you to go to a doctor. But I don't need to make that decision - you do. You don't need to justify your choice not to go the doctor to me in a reply - I understand that, unfortunately, the necessity of making a decision has no bearing on its difficulty - you just need to weigh up the pros and cons and be content with the decision you end up making.
