I have been Gas Lighted by 2 Primary Care Physicians. I complained about breathing issues to one.

He refused to order a CT Scan for my Lungs.

He discouraged me claiming I was overweight.

Two yrs later I was diagnosed with Emphysema. Now I receive Oxygen Therapy 24/7 permanently. The other Physician treated me for edema in my legs, ankles and feet with diaruetics for 2 yrs. Refused to over a Heart Catherization.

In 2020 a Cardiologist ordered one and diagnosed me with "Right Sided Heart Failure."

I am so broken over this. It hurts to know these Physicians took oaths to treat their patients. Personally I believe it was because I am low income & African American. Now I am terminally ill age 71. I hope no one experiences what I have.
