Disabled Military Vet With Life-Threatening Illness Denied Treatment by Doctors

A disabled military vet was denied lifesaving treatment by her doctors, leading to permanent vision loss in her left eye. Despite her requests to be seen immediately by her GP, she was not taken seriously and was blown off. After finally receiving a biopsy of her left temporal artery, she was diagnosed with temporal arteritis, a life-threatening illness.

The ENT doctor had refused to set up the appointment, claiming that she had a 0% chance of having the illness at her age. The delay in treatment resulted in permanent vision loss in her left eye. She is now seeking accountability and wants other people to learn from her experience.

However, some people are telling her that her anger is too much and that she should not go after the doctors' careers. She is left wondering if there is really a good guy or a bad guy in this situation. The current medical system is failing both patients and doctors, and there needs to be better communication and understanding between both parties.

Despite the pain and suffering she has endured, she has found some positive outcomes from the experience, such as learning to communicate better with her healthcare staff and helping others advocate for themselves.
