    This is not about TMS, but doctors in general and a rant for myself. I have no trust in doctors anymore. I will go there if I break my arm to get a cast, not about general health. Most doctors have no critical thinking, they work on autonomy from old text books. An example that makes me very angry:

    Early 2020 I get very sick in fever, I loose my taste and some breathing issues one of the days. A week later part of my tongue turns white. I´m 100% sure its Covid (this is very early on in the pandemic).
    #1 I go to a nurse to check my tongue (otherwise better). She says she can't see anything and that I´m imagining it. Go home and rest
    #2 A week later I go to a general doctor. He says he sees it clear. Tells me its fungus in my mouth. I tell him its not but he insists. Gives me anti-fungus medications.
    #3 The medication doesn't work, I go back. He says I need another 10 day dose.
    #4 The second dose doesn't work. I demand to see a specialist & expert. He finally sends me.
    #5 The specialist says this is definitely not fungus (no shit...) and takes a tissue sample from my tongue. The results: some auto-immune reaction to a virus or similar (told you!). I get sent to a dentist for later checkup
    #6 The dentist says I have an auto-immune disorder in the tissue from my infection and that it will never heal (chronic).
    #7 Six months later it is healed. I get an anti-body test and have lots of anti-bodies to Covid-19. No one listened.

    Most doctors are morons... The only one in this story that was ok was the specialist who actually found out something real. Get really angry now, haven't thought about this in years. #%%##!!!!
