This review is for neurology. I was seen by both a resident and attending physician (at the same time). I was very open about my trauma history and also very clear that I had never experienced symptoms like these before. I do not have a history of doctor seeking. I stay away from doctors like the plague. I don't respect most of them and as a trans person most doctors treat me like garbage anyways.

Because I was open about my trauma history (severe child abuse) and the fact that I'm trans, the doctors treated me like I was mentally ill (I am very much in my right mind, very intelligent, and studying to be a P.A. although I didn't tell them the last bit). They suggested nothing for my symptoms of numbness at three different places in my body, symptoms that persisted for 3 months. The doctor asked if I was depressed - - yeah, because all this is actually some kind of conversion disorder because people somatize anxiety as numbness quite often...NOT

If you need to go into neurology for anything, please lie about your sensitive identities. Don't expect enlightened doctors or staff at Froedtert. My time and money are very valuable to me and because I took a chance I now have to spend more time and money to get a second option from a doctor who will actually look into my very alarming and very real symptoms.

Total, and complete, waste of my time. Shame on you, Froedert. Another incident with another couple of doctors for the notches on my belt...
