Don’t let a doctor dismiss your concerns — keep pushing for real answers. If your doctor isn’t listening, it’s okay to seek guidance elsewhere. (And by “elsewhere,” I mean qualified medical professionals or solid research — AI is helpful for questions, but always pair it with actual studies.)

After months of being brushed off and told my enlarged liver and spleen were only due to weight, I’m finally getting a CT scan — something I’ve been asking for repeatedly. My regular doctor is out of the country, and the physician covering for him actually took the situation seriously. He has a background in internal medicine, noticed the red flags immediately, and asked what was going on with my liver and spleen.It feels like someone finally paid attention only took 3 months. One more full blood panel which is being done on Tuesday then getting referrals. Not gonna lie I was so happy I could cry. 3 months of telling me it’s only my weight when I have abnormal CBC results that have been consistent low or high over years 4 repeat bloodwork showing the same results just within the last 3 months. ( have done 2 ultrasounds both show persistent splenectomy and mild hepatitis, but was reported way back in 2017 that it was moderate hepatitis) I have my chart so can see all bloodwork and scans

Edit - correction to title since I can’t edit that. When your doctor blows you off.

I’ve been dealing with an enlarged spleen, and now my liver is enlarged as well. The liver shows fatty changes, and both issues are causing ongoing symptoms. My doctor isn’t actively monitoring the situation — he only reacts when the pain flares up or when stress triggers illnesses that take weeks to recover from.

I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar. I’m getting a second opinion through my benefits, but my doctor has been very reluctant to refer me to a specialist and keeps attributing everything to weight, even though the weight gain was caused by prescription medication in the first place.

I’m wondering whether a health inspector would ever attend a mobile home lot when the landlord isn’t maintaining the property. For context, we already have RTDRS hearings underway, ( 16 applications being heard in 2 months) and we’ve tried involving bylaw, but they’ve declined to take any action. I know they do work with businesses and this is that.

I’ve been with Fido since 2013. I reviewed our recent bill because it’s higher than last month even though nothing has changed. I’m on a BYOB plan and noticed a $5 increase applied to my line, but not to my husband’s, even though we have the same plan.

I also noticed that the plan offers I saw just a week ago have gone up by $10, which is frustrating since I was considering switching plans due to the rising costs.
