Jo Beth's boyfriend went to see the same doctor.  Just as with Jo
Beth, the doctor did blood tests, stool tests, and a barium X-ray.  
Just as with Jo Beth, none of the tests showed anything.  So...
The doctor wrote the boyfriend a prescription for Tagamet, and
ordered MORE tests.

Jo Beth was incensed.  She phoned the doctor and asked "Why,
when my tests showed nothing, did you do nothing, but when my
boyfriend's tests showed nothing, you did something?  I was the
only one who vomited blood!  Why did you write him a
prescription, and order him more tests, but do nothing for me?"

The doctor said Jo Beth sounded over-tense.   He suggested that
she might want to "find someone to talk to about that".  

The bastard.
Infuriating

Where a doctor can be worse than unhelpful.
Study Questions:
How would you feel if a doctor did this
to you?
Should Jo Beth post the name and
address of this doctor?
When Jo Beth mentioned her boyfriend's
symptoms, the doctor immediately
assumed she was borrowing his
symptoms as her own.  But of course!
What Was Jo Beth's Mistake?
