I once went in to my [former] provider complaining of chronic repeated ear and sinus infections. I apparently didn’t yelp in pain loudly enough when PA Numbnuts started tapping on my sinus cavities, so he basically told me that I was just fat and needed to run around the mall at 4 AM with the local “mall walkers” group. Two days later, another ear/sinus infection hit and I needed antibiotics. I ended up getting them somewhere else because I didn’t want to deal with that pedantic asshole ever again. Six months later, yet another infection hit, this time with an abscess in one of my tonsils. I wound up in the emergency room for surgery. If only I’d waddled around the fucking mall at 4 AM, maybe all that extremely obvious damage to my tonsils from the repeated ear/nose/throat infections would have been magically healed.
