10. I have told him

And I got one of those 'how was your visit' survey emails which I filled out in great detail. Then the clinic called me. Twice.

I've been back once, since the first awful visit. The APN was slightly more reserved but, to me, still rather callous. I have severe white coat hypertension and, apparently, she doesn't think that's a real thing. The only time my BP is HIGH is when I'm in a doctor's office. I've had some horrible experiences with doctors. One lied to me about why he wanted to check me in to a hospital for some tests. He said it was to see if I had a fungal infection in my lung. He really thought the x-ray they took showed cancer. My mom was in on the lie. I've never been able to trust a single one, since.
