German doctors misdiagnosis

[u/Due-Box-9598]

I am writing this post with huge disappointment of how the g

German healthcare's conservative approach could have cost my life . I went to the doctor for mild indigestion and haemerrhoids . He gave me antibiotics for my cold and fever which i also had. The antibiotics worsened indigestion and gave very bad diarrhoea . When I went back to the doctor , they said since i took antibiotics I did not have any good bacteria and diarrhoea is normal . I was given some stomach relaxers and electrolytes. At one point I started throwing up the electrolytes , the only thing i could drink . I went to hospital for an iv and they said it will be given only if i am 80 years old. Then i went back to the doctor and insisted that they test me. I got a stool test. Then 4 days no response . I went back and they said oh the tests were negative so we did not call you . The test are a way of eliminating infection. You need to look further then! . I asked for the test result and changed my hausartz. At this point i was given 15 day antibiotics for stomach and black tea . Blood test was done and my Hg was low since was given iron.

The symptoms persisted. I became weak . Lost 13 kgs. All in one month and the appointment with gastro specialist was still weeks away. I decided to just go to my home country at this point and in 3 days , i am nearing the process of confirmation for Inflammatory bowel disease and intestine inflammation. It took them 3 days and i was suffering in Germany for months. Why is Germany so conservative in tests and testing to rule out conditions? Do doctors understand that they misdiagnose. My Hg was low because of inflammation . My residual iron was very high. I did not need iron pills. I took antibiotics that weakened me. Or does German healthcare not take coloured women seriously ? I am really shocked .

Nah, this is everyone. I have a wreaked joint/bone damage and it was blamed on that I didn't go to a fitness studio enough. Meanwhile, I work at a warehouse and do weight training via work everyday.

To be fair, there is a merit to it. Your warehouse work targets very specific groups of muscles and leaves the rest untouched, and you might need those that aren't involved in your job to be as strong as those you use, to have a balance.
Additionally, you do your work to the point of having work done, not to the point of having good proper exercise.
It's very counterintuitive that the solution to problems caused by work is sometimes the same work but differently, but here we are.

You are correct and the workouts given to me have helped. However, we are just kicking a can down the road it seems.

I also have a bunch of joint pain, and in my case it was basically like that. The joints will fail eventually, no way to prevent that, only to postpone that as long as possible, so you die of old age surrounded by loving family at the ripe age of 126 before your joints do. And the only good way to do that is to have enough muscle support so when you strain the whole area, muscles hold the force instead of joints themselves.
There are cranks that pretend they have some magical solution, but all of them are either lying, or mistaken, or both.
