Nurse Nancy, all I needed was a doctor to order an MRI. Of course I didn't know it at the time, but my MRI leaves no question. I have had MS for a long time.

Could it be that they thought I was lying? I'd say "for two weeks I couldn't walk. I would have come in sooner but, well, I couldn't walk". His answer? "You seem to walk just fine now".

Do I, per chance, have the word "liar" tattooed on my forehead? It wasn't just one or two doctors that were dismissive. This went on for decades. I finally stopped complaining because it is embarrassing to have it insinuated that I was faking.
