My girl friends and my friend who works in the ER say the same thing: doctors ignore women. They are fucking horrible to women.
Friend who had Lyme disease was told it was all in her head and she should stop being hysterical.
Sister who had to get her gallbladder removed was told there’s nothing wrong with her, she’s obviously a drug seeker, and they aren’t falling for her BS. They did the tests and found the issue but didn’t even look at the results of those tests, just chased her out. Her GP looked at the actual imaging work done and told her it was clearly visible, right there, and they should have seen this. But nope, not going to happen.
Ladies are just inconvenient to medical practitioners. They aren’t respected as human beings.
