Anyone know? Finding a decent psychiatrist in Washington, D.C.—or even some small town in the Midwest—is a struggle.I need a doctor who won't just dump me onto Xanax or some other heavy-duty meds—especially if I explain that I can't handle any extra stress right now. All I really need is something mild, like a light antidepressant or an anti-anxiety med, just to help me get through all these appointments and tests here in the States.

If anyone happens to know— Looking for a decent cardiologist in Washington, D.C.Someone should let me know what's up—I went in blindly a few days ago and ran into the same wall I've been hitting for five years. He didn't look at me, didn't listen, and wouldn't even glance at the test results I already had on hand. Just kicked me out the door in record time because apparently, I’m young and "fine"—as if that's a medical diagnosis. Then he had the nerve to recommend tests I already knew I needed to get done.

Someone please answer me—I’m actually desperate here.

Hey everyone.

I’ve scrolled through plenty of this thread, but honestly, asking is just easier. I’ve been dealing with some serious issues for a while now—mostly because of incompetent doctors here in the States. Finally, I saw an internist today who actually took me seriously and ordered an echocardiogram, a Holter monitor, and an EKG. My priority is getting seen quickly and, more importantly, getting it done right.

A few years back, I had a heart ultrasound, but it was poorly executed—they claimed everything was fine—and ever since then, nobody has believed that my cardiac symptoms are actually real.
I’ve been struggling with severe health problems for five years now, and I just want to do things properly this time. Unfortunately, private specialists are out of my budget, so please recommend a solid cardiologist or at least a clinic where the work is reliable. Last time I went to Magdalena, and I’m not sure I want to deal with them again.

Thanks in advance for any help.
