Default Anger, outrage, unruly passengers, oppression road rage, irritation and more

Today visiting a new dr. I got the clipboard and forms to complete and found I was becoming angry. Why are they collecting data on me, why do I have to sign agreement with long paragraphs of legalese. It occurred to me I have been feeling more aggravated more often. I believe more of us may be feeling oppressed and annoyed daily: bad drivers, media opinions, demands for personal information, 24 hr news, overcharges, cancelled flights, new regulations, higher prices, mask mandates robot calls, cable companies, shoddy service. Remember the film where a news anchor lifts his window and yells "I've had it and I won't take anymore! " How do we keep smiling agreeably through it all as senior gentlewomen and gentlemen are expected to do?

Speak to the Dr. Or the staff about it.

*yawn* Me? I realized that it's taken about 5/6 years for me to get over the bad baggage I brought me with here with me. Then I just accepted my age and whether the days news is good or bad I've done my bit and am able to let others perceived bad actions just pass me by. Sure I have a stupid meter that goes off scale on a rare occasion, but on the whole I just expect the stupid people to not change their stupid ways. That has helped me immensely. I still meet those can not adapt to getting older and lack any good manners....so now I just shrug and figure getting annoyed at them wastes some seriously great days I can have...we can not fix them or change their mind...ever!

If they are asking about your medical history and pills you take what is the harm?

They always ask for our SS number and that we leave blank.

The horse regarding worrying about too much personal info being out there on each of us, left the barn long ago.

I no longer get upset about stuff out of my control and most of what you listed is out of my control. If you can't control it or change it, why let it get to you? There are just too many positive things here to worry about the negatives.

So modern medicine works really well with as much data as you can put into the engine. There are prediction engines in the EMR which will tell your dr where your risks are with the correct data. I have seen the prediction engine on my data, and I don't like the answer because i am expected to have a heart attack within 10 years.

But for your doctor to have a complete picture of you and who you are dealing with, he needs as much as you can give him, otherwise he won't treat you for something you have which you know about but don't tell him.

As far as the rest of your sensitivity to "negative" issues, the human mind is wired to emphasize the negative for survival, and in the transition from a long period of relative calm to the pandemic and other geo political issues, you should think about mental protection strategies, as the world is going down hill at the moment from cooperative games to competitive games, and to enjoy TV, you have to live more in the bubble than not. . .

good luck, and talk to a professional if these issues prevent you from enjoying your current life

They make a pill for that which will calm you down. Talk to the new doctor.

When I fill out those forms I give the minimum I can get away with.

I have perfected a doddery old man act when in situations that require it.
I exsasperate jobsworths with innane questions, in the end they say, "let me fill the forms/sort this for you!"
Shop assistants fetch and carry for me.
I get help crossing the road from lovely ladies, and Hells Angels.
Luggage is put up on the racks for me when on trains.
I allways get a seat on public transport.
I melted old "Steel Heart" who guards the doctor from patients with the simple statement, "You remind me of my mother. She was so kind just like you"
She can't do enough for me now.
It is amazing the things I get away with.
I often think I might as well become that old guy permanently.
Maybe I am already that guy!

YES. Walk in the doctor’s office with the scotch and sip while filling out the forms. If they say anything tell em the bottle is in the car if they want one
