It took a year for fury to simmer down into disappointment. Saw Dr Birdsall in mid-May 2025. I’d had some weird symptoms for a couple of years…increasing asthma, body/joint aches, weird new allergies, increasing anxiety. This visit was after waking up in excruciating, whole-body pain one morning. It had simmered down to a strip of pain across my chest. In front of her medical student and with a dose of irritation, Dr Birdsall told me “There is nothing wrong with you, I am not doing any testing.” She should have at least done a chest x-ray. 10 days later I was admitted to the hospital with multiple pulmonary emboli in both lungs and a 2.7cm mass in my left upper lung. I was diagnosed with stage 3a lung cancer that the docs said “has probably been growing there for 2-3 years.” She’s not incompetent, but at least in my case, she either failed to truly listen or assumed, like so many do, that this woman’s complaints were all in my head. I am very lucky to still be alive. I liked her until this happened.
