Coping with Cherrypicking in medicine due to our stigma

I could have labelled the topic "lemon-dropping", which is "firing" the patients who aren't preferred.

I wonder if members have had experiences with medical personnel cherrypicking, or discouraging patients with mood disorders from their clinics and offices, because we're "high maintenance".  I think we're all entitled to the same care as others, since we pay our premiums, whether they're private or publicly funded.
