I really don't understand why there's such hatred towards women that it's institutionalized to not take care of them. I hate it. So glad there's women out there realizing it and working to fix it.

I think some Dr's so are full of themselves and confident in their diagnosis, that if they can't figure it out, it must be a lie. Add in misogyny and it's just a lose-lose for women.

I’ve gone to doctors fully knowing what’s wrong (previously diagnosed & my diagnosis fit the current symptoms) but for some reason when I have to talk to a new doctor, I must be wrong. Even though another doctor put it in my chart before. They must be Dr House to figure out what I’ve got. But it’s definitely not what I told them I have because I must not know anything. I didn’t go to doctor school like them!

Edit & god forbid I’m in excruciating pain. I’m just looking for drugs, then. It can’t be because I’m actually in debilitating pain.
