Talking to this provider was like talking to a brick wall of text or being in a lecture hall. At one point, she talked for 10 minutes straight and I couldn't get a word in. I also informed the provider that I was scared of dying from this. Any provider worth their salt would recognize these as anxious or intrusive thoughts, clearly a patient being vulnerable. All of 5 minutes later she proceeded to list all the reasons I might die from this. I asked her lightheartedly to stop, and perhaps she thought I was joking, but I could feel my face turning red and tears welling so I can only extend so much understanding. For the last 20 minutes, I was clearly blinking back tears and my voice was breaking, and she just ignored it. Either she lacks the ability to read social cues or she simply doesn't care, but either way, I left crying and stayed that way for a while. I was so hopeful for this visit because I just wanted someone to listen with empathy and help me with guidance. Instead, it elevated my feelings of anxiety, shame and belittlement that a provider in this field should care about not doing. She would do well as a professor, not so much a provider.
