When I was 23 I had not gone to the CF doctors for a few years because I had not have any insurance. I finally got a job with benefits, went back to the doctors but was too old for pediatrics and had to see the adult doctors. This doctor I have never seen before, looks at my X-rays and says to me "so why do you think you have CF?". I was floored, later I thought have you ever walked into the bathroom after me if I don't take my medicine. Mind you i went to the peds clinic in the same hospital since i was 7. And to think these are people who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on an education and yet sometimes they lack common sense. The more I write the more stupid sayings/questions I remember.
A pharmacist actually asked me how many enzimes I take in a day, who the heck was he, I don't ask how much he eats in a day.
Last week I went to the doctors and my PFTs went up, the doctor had nothing to complain about. Instead he asked me if I had any animals and if I was allergic to them, he has been treating me for over 8 years in which I have one dog (owned for 12 years) and several cats (owned for over 25 years) and ever since he has been treating me he has tried to get me to get rid of my animals. I don't understand where they come up with these questions.
