the main issue is that women pain and issues are generally not taken as seriously as men’s. it’s a documented issue. and it is not just pain. quite often serious issues get ignored by doctors because the patient was in her period and that explains it, and end up with serious complications.
I have read far too many articles about women being ignored when they complain of abdominal pain, only to come back later and find out it was cancer the whole fucking time.
It makes me sick. I don’t distrust the science of medicine. I distrust the practitioners of medicine.
just came from a bookclub (ended at 3am). but one black woman there was telling us about her pregnancy, where they forced C-section her without her consent, and how nurses came in and shoved their hands in places without asking or responding to her when she said they were hurting her. and how she was invited to a an event to tell her horror story, which ended in a standing applause… gor the gynecology team…
