doctors dismiss womens pain so often and with such regularity that I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Almost all of medical research is done in regards to how it affects a white male, neglecting to take into account differences between that of a white man and literally everyone else.
additionally this is another symptom of Americas sexism, which is just as prevalent than its racism. the fact that black men got the vote before white women did should tell you how little conservative republicans think of their “better halves.”
TBF this doesn’t have anything to do with sexism, it’s just general incompetence. Listening to the lungs with a stethoscope would have been enough to notice that something was very wrong.
Extra absurd since not even a stethoscope seems to be used, but I think we can’t rule out misogyny as a big cause of this GP not even using a basic medical instrument.
I didn’t realize it this was bad for women. I listenened to the horror stories my gf told me about her experiences at doctor offices and im shocked how awful it is compared me to.
What I think is more serious and affects all sexes and races equally is doctors dismissing all medical complaints if you are overweight. It’s like it’s the only thing they can focus on and their only thing they will talk about until you lose the weight
it’s because obesity is a comorbidity that causes a LOT of problems. it’s adding chronic stress to your metabolic system, your skeletal system, just… everything.
however, what a lot of doctors fail to realize, is that obesity can also be an addiction to sugar. Eating disorders are common, and it’s one of the hardest things to correct, because with most every other addiction, you can stop and avoid it. Can’t do that with eating, you HAVE to eat. the amount of sugar in American foodstuffs is criminal.

nah, ask any woman what it’s like, and they’ll correct you of this assumption.
