Do doctors run you around on purpose?

I get the whole let's try a conservative approach thing, but after two and a half years of going to them and unsuccessful begging for surgery I really think they just want to keep you coming back to the clinic forever. When I brought up the idea of seeing a reconstructive surgeon the nurse completely blew it off. I think she's just thinking of her schedule and how I'm a repeat weekly customer at this point even though what she's doing isn't doing shit. After going through all this I lost the love I had for life. I always went out of my way for everyone and now I'm just treated like a number. They really should teach that in schools. Everybody cares only about themselves and there's no point in being a good person. Only your bank account matters and you are stupid to think different.

I don't know why you need surgery, but I've rarely had doctors listen to me when I say : I have X problem, I've had X problem before. The treatment is Y, give me that.
And they always say, we need to do some testing make sure, etc.

They need to pay for med school somehow. Very few doctors come from our backgrounds and care about our types of issues.

I think MOST providers are in it for the money. You have to get someone brand new to the field to care, and they also have the most current knowledge.

That makes sense.

Doctors want to make as many appointments out of you as possible. They do give people the run around. It's not right and often causes people to die. It's all about the money.

I need surgery to repair my urinary sphincter that was damaged. I have tried everything else to correct my problem imaginable. I've been at this for almost two and a half years.
