Was it really better for medicine to blame me instead of treating me like the intelligent young woman I was and simply say "we don't know?"

@mollydotcom I can relate in a small way—I complained to docs for 35 years before my severe sleep apnea was diagnosed. My sympathies.

@dori That's less than small Dori. Not sleeping properly is a recipe for complete system collapse and death. Such lack of care :(

@mollydotcom Sleep apnea leads to two big causes of death: heart attacks and car crashes. Sound unrelated, but both due to lack of sleep.

@dori Bottom line, you weren't treated with dignity for a long time and that's not fair medically or socially. First do no harm? cough cough

@mollydotcom One MD asked if I wanted him to find something wrong with me (sigh). If I didn't, why would I have even bothered to see a doc?

@dori what an utter idiot! I name and shame them if still in practice via HealthGrades etc.
