I have been "diagnosed" as crazy for the last 2 years by multiple drs. My symptoms include dermatitis, intestinal parasite/nematode (photographic evidence), severe anemia (requiring iron infusions), eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy, edema, cognitive impairment. I have been diagnosed as "neurotic", "stressed", and "delusional" by drs who have no training in psychiatric medicine. Is there a similar list to advise which drs to avoid? I can name maybe 2 drs who cared enough to follow through on referrals but themselves couldn't do anything. Also, minute clinic cared but also couldn't do anything, and just advised to keep on trying until someone eventually listened. But how do you get past the label of "crazy" in your medical record? It is atrocious that americans pay hundreds a month to be dismissed. It is not that hard to get a medical degree, but having one allows someone to be a gatekeeper to care.
