He also diagnosed me with “woman” after I said my last cardiologist appointment did not go well and that the previous one said it was just because I’m a woman. And of course my anxiety and medical trauma caused me to just start dissociating instead of pushing back. I’m so tired of this. My pcp ordered an echocardiogram because my symptoms started to get worse

OH MY GOD REPORT THAT DOCTOR RIGHT NOW SISTER! Find his medical board and report him ASAP. His behavior is not okay, completely against clinical guidelines, and just entirely unprofessional especially for a potentially serious medical situation. Don’t feel bad about reporting him, do it for the future women who might see this disaster of a man and not speak up for themselves. Like I always say- good doctors get thank you cards and flowers. Bad doctors get reported to the office manger and board

He also used ai when looking at my meds to find out which ones can cause orthostatic hypotension. Like what was the point in going to medical school if you are just going to use ai. I could have told him that, because I actually educated myself about my medications. Also how does a CARDIOLOGIST not know what meds drop blood pressure???

Also he did not listen to the new symptoms I was trying to describe and went based off of the old cardiologists note. I just don’t understand why they have to make it seem like I’m a hysterical woman and not be like “I don’t think this is a cardiac issue, here is what you should look into next”.

But noooooo they have to say it’s all my anxiety when I purposely did not trigger the monitor during anxiety episodes. I already know I have orthostatic hypotension and what to do about it. It’s the chest pain, tremors, dizziness, and shortness of breath that I wanted to address. Not the getting lightheadedness upon standing

I decided if the echocardiogram showed abnormalities that I will ask for a different dr, preferably a woman
