Yes I struggle with this too. I let an infection get really bad because I kept telling myself that they were going to just say it wasn’t that bad or why did you come in for this. I believe that because of all the times that my pain and suffering wasn’t taken seriously really messed up the way I think about things concerning my health. So you are definitely not alone. I just tell myself that it is a doctors job to see patients even if nothing is wrong and they get paid well to do so.
