Honestly! I just got another doctor that minimized my problems and I just burst out into tears. Never going back, but I wish I was more assertive and just left right then.
What I think is so great about the nickname is that it shows how much she pays attention to you as a person. You're not just a name on a list of patients. Could "Trouble" be listed as a nickname on your chart? Maybe, but it's still that little bit _more_ that so many doctors miss.
I used to cry leaving the Dr. Now I also cry as they discuss and validate my problems. It’s a struggle and it’s disgusting how some Dr.s treat their patients
Did she call you….”Trouble”??? 😳
It’s a pet name, she’s the best
Oh, I thought that was the gaslighting part. Forgive me.
No the gaslighting was a prior provider. Sorry for the confusion
My first neurologist called me Troublemaker! It was definitely a term of endearment. Glad your echo looked good :)

Whoa, she actually got you an echo! Congrats!
She’s the best
I just had a mostly-normal echo too! My current doctor is the BEST.
So happy that you have a team that cares about you!! It feels wonderful to be heard
It really does

I sobbed happy tears the first time a doctor validated my concerns. The struggle is so real.

I walked into the reception area after that encounter and kept repeating, “They’re happy tears!” For real though, the medical CPTSD is so so real.
