Doctors can be such dicks

Okay I just got back from the doctor due to the puffyness of my eyes (seriously they would act as an airbag if I was in a car accident). I went in there and told him that I had an eye infection i.e. conjunctivitis, He then proceeded to examine my eyes and tell me that I had an eye irratation and that perhaps it was an allergy.

Now I do get a bit of hayfever but from time to time and upon telling him this he said that it looked more like an allergy rather than an infection.

Now I am not a medical expert, however I have had an eye infection before and know the symptoms and what it looks like, and this doctor is telling me that I have allergies.

I then proceeded to tell him that I think it might be an infection because there was mucus coming out and that I probably caught it from Hailey's brother. He looked at me, ignored what I said completely, and went on to tell me that I needed antihistimin eyedrops and some telfast.

Now I could have gone to the pharmacy and got this without having to go the doctor and spend 60 bucks just to walk in the door. I didn't even need a prescription.

I fucking hate it when doctors give a wrong diagnosis and come up with something that makes no sense. Believe me this is not the first time this has happened. I went to the doctor in year 11 with a bad cough, he gave me a puffer and said I had asthma. Well the puffer did absolutely fuck all and a week later I was in hospital with bacterial pnemonia. What a complete fuck head. Let's just say neither me nor my parents were too impressed.

I wish doctors would actually listen to their patients more rather than pulling stuff out of there arse and handing out puffers like candy. All I can say is that these eyedrops had better work. I am sure they will because even these eyedrops should clear out an infection. If there is no improvement in 24 hours I will not be a happy man.

Fucking outrageous

Dude. The guy with his pants down in the dumpster behind Woolies who calls himself "Doctor Hobo" is not a real doctor...


That, or you just REALLY need to change doctors.
