I met with Dr. Demers for a work injury expertise - he seemed friendly until he noticed I have anxiety, then his mood seemed to shift between belief and incredulity as he questioned me, which was a bit destabilizing for me having cPTSD with plenty of trauma from dismissive doctors not helping me out included, and my inherent insecurity seemed to lead him to be suspicious of me as his line of questioning became more contemptuous and harsh - his physical exam was kind of rough and pushy, and DID make my symptoms worst after unlike what he wrote he thought he observed afterwards in his report - thay almost always do, the exams, make me worse; doctors be roughin it - I can become quite stoic when I begin to dissociate beyond vulgar anxiety - his concern with my feeling any pain completely ignored my complaints of a progression towards a lack of feeling and function on my entire right side, he didn't even know what is Williams disease - I left feeling diminished and discouraged that I might have received more help or further testing to one day regain at least satisfactory bodily integrity. I feel I was dismissed as an exaggerator since he actually decreased the permanent damages the CNESST had granted me, although his attitude degenerating in cordiality throughout the exam actually made me shut down and minimize myself to just get out of there and stop feeling so small - I have bad imposter syndrome, dissociative tendencies and do not stand up well to tough guise in person, I'm a weak pushover and just dissolve when trapped and then it's all fight or flight - I pretty much regress to a baby, it's pathetic. I blame 20 th century tetraethyl lead mass poisoning and GM for both our behaviors, da doc & I. Hard times - industrialization was super! :D
