There is no need to apologize for venting. We all need to do that at some time or another. It may not change the circumstances, but it does help to let it all out.

I used to get frustrated with doctors who seemed to shrug off the mention of others aches or pains. My pain doctor once told me that it wasn't that he was ignoring what I said, but was dealing with the highest priority instead of going in several directions at once. Because he had been reasonably good in dealing with my issues, I gave him the benefit of a doubt. But on a follow up visit he complained about me bringing up something new and I let him have it. After we had words on that occasion he really changed and our relationship improved because he learned that I was not going to let him take me lightly.

You have to be your own advocate to get the care that you deserve, so let the frustration work for you in a constructive way.

Hang in there!
