I am getting snerky about the people in my support group. aibu?
I have sarcoidosis and I have joined an on line support group. Over and over again people post stuff like "I have been sore for two days, it hurts to breathe, if it's not better by tomorrow, I'm going to head to the ER" or " I'm coughing so much, and it hurts. Should I go to the hospital for x-rays? " and everyone is like for sure, you can't fool around with lung issues"
Painful breaths and coughing? bad yes but not emergencies!
When I suggest just calling their Dr, they say the Dr don't listen to them or they don't like their Dr.
On the other hand, if you genuinely need to be seen quickly I can see why you would go anywhere you could.
I guess it feels like they think ER docs will tell them something different or be able to help them in some magical way.
I am just shitty at being supportive?
