Abstract
In this piece, I discuss how the relationship with my family doctor was detrimental to my diagnosis and how my health, both physical and mental, suffered because of it. Although I discuss my experience of obtaining a diagnosis to what turned out to be an uncommon response to a common virus, I am certain that others will relate to the universality of struggling to gain an accurate diagnosis.
