Who Matters?

Have you ever had someone not hear what your saying? They are looking straight at you and nodding but they really do not hear what your saying.

What I am asking is far different then when your children {or your spouse} disregard your words. I am speaking of a stranger or in my case a doctor.

How utterly frustrating it was to have a professional completely ignore what I was saying...especially after she asked me a question. When I take my child to a clinic due to illness I expect to be taken seriously and I expect the doctor assessing us to take my answers to their questions seriously.

I felt degraded as a human being when I left the clinic.

I questioned the prescription and the diagnosis...luckily it is not anything serious...at least I don't think so.

This happened twice this week with the same doctor but with three of my children so three different cases.

I am not upset with her lack of knowledge..I'll just go to another doctor. And maybe this doctor has much knowledge but she has a real problem communicating.

All I know is this week between my conversations with the doctor that treated me as if I was transparent and some other happenings I felt unheard, degraded and useless in a lot of ways.

Afterall even coyotes don't take me seriously.

But, it's all okay.

It really is.

It doesn't matter who on this earth will ever listen to me because I have comfort knowing I am heard by the One that matters.

If this all would have happened to me 3, 4 or 6 years ago...yikes..major meltdown. How things have changed!

Have a great Saturday.
