    And it’s those same types of dumbass men that love voting away women’s rights in regards to healthcare and bodily autonomy.

    JFC that’s malpractice in my book.

    the sadest part is that this is extremely common for some reason. every single woman i know has at least one story of going to a doctor with serious health issues and being told thats its just hormones or stuff like that

    edit: sorry if i made it sound like i cant imagine why doctors would act this way, its clearly misogyny. i just cant wrap my head around the fact that its so common when working this job requires such in depth study of the human body

    This doesn’t feel remotely oniony to me because this kind of behaviour is very common.

    When I was fifteen, seeking help for a menstrual cycle that had been torturing me for 5 years already, a woman doctor told me to try having a baby because sometimes that fixes periods

    All this post tells me is that OP doesn’t know any women

    I feel for Selma. My mom has had MS for 30 years and is now on hospice. It’s a horrible illness.

    Whi doesn’t have a story of a male doctor telling them that their severe iron deficiency was just hormones and hot flashes that was making them faint and almost had to give up archery because there was nothing they could do about it right as they were getting into high-school

    Poor lady. Some doctors are just horrible. Like when I asked to have my tubes tied and they told me my husband might want kids. Motherfuckers.

    Female patients should have female doctors.

    It’s a poorly kept secret that a lot of doctors really, really suck at their jobs.

    As someone with autoimmune disease, I can back her up. I was told it would clear up when I have babies.

    1000 for things that never happened, alex.

    My wife is likely heading towards an MS diagnosis. She’s experienced symptoms for years, but until her entire lower body went numb and her diaphragm became 40% paralyzed, which affected her breathing, nobody took her seriously.

    These “doctors” should be curb-stomped, like in the real sense of the term. Pig-like entities like these “doctors” are the reason I really distrust this profession of bullshitters and lazy grifters. Assholes all of them.

    Not Even being rich and famous can stop incompetent doctors from being sexist
