I was in nursing school when I saw my primary care Dr. there years ago. I described my symptoms and requested a specific test. He pooh poohed me and said " youre just getting older. You dont need that". A year later after a steadily declining quality of life I saw a new primary and told him the same thing. He ordered an immediate MRI and discovered a pituitary tumor that could have been treated a year earlier if the original Dr. had listened to me.
