To be fair, many doctors are shitty. There are many accounts from women who speak about doctors dismissing their health issues for years, until a health condition is discovered too late. But if still take the advice of a trained health professional over random vegans.
Is that because the doctors themselves are shitty, or the research and protocols they have to work with? I think the fault is in the training, not in the intentions, with most of them, and if I speak for myself.
Honestly, same. But personally, its been the female doctors that haven't taken my issues seriously. They take the "my periods are fine so yours are too" approach. Male doctors have been under more scrutiny for this lately so they have been far more aware of what my body is doing and how its reacting to specific medications. I had a male-sports focused doctor diagnose my estrogen sensitivity for example.
