Is it frustrating when people should know better...but seem to have no clue?

It’s very annoying when people who should know act stupidly! I sympathize with you.

I really think it came down to not bothering to get to know my history.I’ll talk to the doc next time I see him.
The other habit I have to break is not eating regularly. Well in order to eat regularly I need foods on hand to make quickly.
Like the Eggos are fast, but the bacon or ham or sausages…not so much.
Protein shake would be perfect

But here I am at 12:20 thawing out baconto make a BLT.
Old habits die hard, man.

I think that hospitals, Urgent Cares, clinics and doctors’ offices are chronically short staffed, especially after the pandemic when a lot of people left the health care field and a lot of people in all careers chose to retire on the younger side. Now, since these places are all short staffed, the goal is to move them out, get the call over with, etc. They don’t have time to review charts, for a call, although they should.

I had to take my daugher to an ER, a pediatrician and the urgent care all within a week, recently, for a relatively minor issue that should have been taken care of either by the ER or by the pediatrician, but each one seems to want to move the patient along and out, and not actually address the problem. (in her case, the problem was compressed ear wax which the ER said to use one home remedy, the pediatrician two days later said to use an over the counter remedy, both the ER and the pediatrician hadn’t actually don’t much touching of the patient).

I have a history of things that have required all sorts of medical, and I have found that there are two many instances where attention was not appropriately paid. Mostly the staff and professionals are really good, but there always seem to be a few that simply don’t care.
In my case it was rarely a case of places being understaffed, just of professionals being snotty or calloused.

I am sorry you are going through this, Dutch, it’s a bear.

Well I’m frying up 6 pieces of bacon. I’ll use 2 today and save the rest and by God I’ll have my eggos with bacon tomorrow!

Thank you @canidmajor.

That all being said, the only instance where every single person was always caring and careful, was when dealing with oncologists and oncology staff. But you don’t want to have to do that.

No I don’t!
This gal struck me as lazy and stupid. I’ll have a chat with the doc cause I KNOW he doesn’t want that on his staff!

Finally ate my BLT at 3. It’s 4:28. I just put a corn dog in the oven

My husband’s “best in the area” pulmonologist is beyond clueless. Month after month we do the research and make suggestions to him for treatment. The guy literally says, “Yeah, that’s a good idea. We’ll do that!”

The family has been pestering hubby about finding a real pulmonologist, so he went to a real expert in Indianapolis, and the new guy is so much better, but he’s not in the same hospital system, so he couldn’t see a lot of the notes and lab reports.

So we’re stuck with our idiot. The good news is he told us what to say next to Dummy. We’re going to ask for respiratory therapy.

If Dummy had been doing his job, Hubby would have had to endure much less suffering, and possibly extended his life.

Incredibly frustrating. I don’t expect doctors or nurses to look at my chart anymore, and every chart of mine that I have looked at has a mistake or misinformation. This is why when covid wasn’t allowing loved ones to visit in the hospital to help advocate I was terrified of being hospitalized for anything.

You can have eggs with your waffles or any type of meat and that will be adding protein. Also, legumes like black beans, lentils, or peanuts. Cheese also will have protein.
