He ran tests for staph and something else that I don't remember since it was a few years ago, but strep wasn't one of them. I specifically asked for him to test strep, but he said "That doesn't look like strep to me". I also tried to repeat to him on return visits that the person I thought I got sick from had strep, but he continued with the viral tests and said that the penicillin would have stopped it if it was strep. He told me to continue using the penicillin anyway when he started testing for other things, specifically herpes and shingles (IIRC) due to it becoming a skin infection. I generally don't remember that week very well considering I was trying to study for finals and trying to prepare for a foreign language interview for a class that I was struggling in all year. I just tried to follow his directions and keep my mouth shut after the first week. I really didn't have the energy to do otherwise anyways. As an introvert and someone with Social Anxiety Disorder, I don't say much (hence my username) and I don't ask too many questions in person. This was also before I got treatment for major depressive disorder and SAD, so I spoke even less then. But, I was at least concerned enough to request he test for strep and to try to insist that I thought it was strep I got from someone else too, which was quickly diminished into disregard each time I tried. I pretty much kept my mouth shut after out of embarrassment. In the beginning things felt questionable, like the staph test (like why staph?), but I stopped questioning after I felt embarrassed. It wasn't until the second doctor that I questioned everything else he did, including the viral tests. It was a bad experience I had and I'm salty about it. I may be putting blame or wrongdoing where I shouldn't due to said saltiness. A lot of the things he said and did were questionable though and I blame him in the least for making every visit and those 3 weeks as difficult as possible for me, when I feel there were at least some better options he could have chosen and the second doctor confirmed that to me.
