“Oh, yeah. I’m good.” Barry lied. His encounter with Zoom, and injury, had shaken him to his core. “Thanks, though.” He added, trying and failing to seem like he was his normal self.
okay but

being a female means needing to see 10 different doctors to get a proper diagnosis because they always think you’re exaggerating and/or lying
define proper diagnosis. I mean, does that just mean the diagnosis you want?
no :) it means going to 10 different doctors who disbelieved your symptoms until the 11th found cysts on your ovaries :) which may mean infertility :) sit on a cactus :)
Of course you do. Like the first 10 doctors. 😒
I call bullshit on the story. If you think you have an issue you should see a specialist not just your PCP.
Like the 4 “specialists” I saw for the crippling numbness in my face and legs I had for over a year while they told me it was “stress”? When it was finally found that I had scars on my brain and spine? Those “specialists” we’re male neurologist who wouldn’t give me an MRI because “women stress too much”. Go fuck yourself.
MY SPINE WAS BROKEN FOR 2 YEARS BECAUSE MY DOCTORS TOLD ME I JUST HAD BAD CRAMPS AND REFUSED TO TAKE XRAYS. FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WHEN WILL BOYS REALIZE THEIR EXPERIENCES ARENT STANDARD???? I ALSO LOVE THIS IDEA THAT YOU CAN JUST GO TO A SPECIALIST WHENEVER YOU WANT LOL IF OUR PCP DOESNT BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL THEM OUR SYMPTOMS THEY ARENT GONNA REFER US TO A SPECIALIST YOU FUCKING MOLDY WALNUT
My parents began noticing something large in my throat, saw a specialist….Guess what? Told me to lose some weight..even though I wasn’t overweight. I would have my period for weeks at a time. Was told that it was teenage hormones and stress.
Two fucking years later I attempted suicide they ran a battery of tests as required and bam! They find out that I have untreated Hashimoto’s. The “thing” was a goiter. Possible symptoms of an untreated thyroid disease is the goiter, unexplained weight gain, and depression. All they had to do was test my blood, but they said young people don’t have thyroid problems. 😒

Ten years ago, my mother—who is a pretty tough cookie—started feeling both ridiculously wired, anxious, and incredibly emotional. Every doctor she saw told her she was going through early menopause, even though she was still menstruating. Her health declined to point where she was barely sleeping, losing weight, and crying constantly, which was a huge red flag because my mother never cries. Finally, she went to see another doctor 2.5 hours away who referred her to an endocrinologist. And what did the endocrinologist say? He diagnosed her with one of the most advanced cases of Grave’s Disease he had even seen, and said if she had gone just a few more months without being treated, she could have FUCKING DIED.
Also, it turned out that her thyroid levels had been moving out of the normal range in a progressive pattern for years, but nobody bothered to look at her past test results until after the diagnosis. They would just do a test, see that it was “in the normal range” and leave it at that. She could have caught it before she even had symptoms, instead of basically being accused of having hysteria.
i had a brain aneurysm/hemorrhage ten years ago, doctors still tell me im faking my disability BECAUSE YOU CAN TOTALLY FAKE LIMITED MOVEMENT OF THE LEFT SIDE
My sister had intercranial hypertension which was causing headaches, dizzy spells and loss of vision, and you know what the hospital told her? She was being a hysterical girl and making it up. A few weeks later she spent roughly a month in hospital and had several lumbar punctures to relieve her RECORD HIGH spinal pressure that was causing so much strain on her brain and optic nerves she was being sent blind.
Everytime I see this post (and it’s been a good 5/6 times), it has different stories and experiences of women who have been horribly mistreated by doctors and it just blows my mind that this is so big. It’s absolutely disgusting how terribly women are treated in the medical world and something needs to be done about that.
my friend lea had back pain, then pain in her legs and feet, and then numbness. despite seeing 7 different doctors over 2 years, by the time they found the cancer it was inoperable. chemo and radiation didn’t work. the cancer spread. she died and left behind a 5 year old daughter.
A few years ago I would go through spells where I literally could not stand on my own and I couldn’t get out of bed. I would be freezing and too weak to eat. I would keep having heart palpitations as well. I got up the money to go to a clinic and they told me it was just stress and to basically just work on chilling out. I saved up money for a few weeks to do this and I pretty much get a “chill out” from them. As time went on it got worse, most noticeably the heart palpitations were happening almost constantly. I went again to a different clinic and was told it was normal and that it was probably stress. They did no tests, and they told me it would “just go away”. Two weeks later I ended up collapsing going down some stairs, and at the hospital it was discovered that I had such severe anemia that my heart could barely keep up with trying to get enough oxygen to my body. I had developed left ventricular hypertrophy (my heart muscle is too big) and because of them ignoring me and dismissing me I’m at a much higher risk of heart attacks and stroke now.
I went to the doctor with severe intermittent pain in my upper right stomach area that was so bad I had to miss school. Despite the fact that my period has been on a regular 3 month cycle for years, and I still had two months left until my period, my doctor told me it was period related cramps and or indigestion. 2 months later I’m in the hospital getting my gallbladder removed. It was so obstructed that there was gangrene developing my my system.
So…everyone who’s given me shit for that one post (about medicine and equal treatment and shit) can just read this because I’m sick of defending my case.
i know this post is already long but here’s a pretty good article about how gender bias in medicine is quite literally killing women. it focuses a lot on heart attacks but it applies to all areas of medicine
Thirteen years ago (I was 13yo at the time, actually) I started getting agonizing pelvic pain during and around the time of my period.
Let me be clear: AGONIZING. PAIN. I would lay in my bed and cry. If I was in school I’d sit at my desk with my head down and cry. I was in so much pain and no one would help me because of my gender wand where the pain was coming from.
My mom and the school nurse blamed menstrual and premenstrual cramps. I was literally told “Every woman since Eve has had these. You’ll be fine.”
At 18 I started going to the ER. It was all I could do because I had no insurance. They’d give me morphine and send my ass home. ER’s don’t do diagnostics unless it’s an “emergency” and it’s not an emergency unless they think you’re dying. They tell you to see a PCP.
This went on for months as the pain got progressively worse and more frequent. To the point I was going to the ER once or twice a week.
Eventually, the ER doc accused me of being a drug addict and said “The next time you come in here you’re not getting morphine. I’m cutting you off.” And he hands me a brochure for FUCKING REHAB.
Shortly after that I started working and got insurance so I started seeing a PCP and OBGYN.
I’d tell them about my pain and they’d give me birth control and say “This is part of being a woman.” That was it. No sonograms or TVU’s. Birth control.
I don’t know how many OBGYN’s I’ve seen over the years trying to find someone to listen to me. Between them, PCP’s, and ER’s Doctors, and Clinic doctors, upwards of 15 I’d guess. Some who saw me as a patient for 5 years or more.
In 2015 the pain skyrocketed. I couldn’t run, couch, sneeze, etc. without being in extreme pain. I had an extremely physically demanding job that required me to have to restrain violent people sometimes and I reached the point where I couldn’t do my job. I passed out from the pain at my job twice. I could barely stand on any given day. I couldn’t sleep for the pain. If my bladder was full, it hurt. Taking a shit left me crying. I couldn’t have sex with my partner. I was borderline suicidal.
And I’d been doing everything right. Everything they said. I took my birth control, changed my diet, had lost 80lbs or so, and STILL I was in pain.
Then I found my goddess.
A wonderful OBGYN who actually listened to what I was telling her. She did blood draws and sonograms and actually took the time to give me a physical exam and palpate my pelvis.
She said, “You know, I cant confirm 100% without actually looking inside you, but I’m 95% sure you have endometriosis.”
She sat me down and explained what it was ( a doctor explaining things HOLY SHIT!) and why it happened and we talked about my treatment options.
I’ve toughed it out almost a year but I’m finally scheduled for surgery. I get my hysterectomy (which I opted for after considering a number of factors) in April and I’m so excited but here’s my question:
Why did it take 13 years?
I had crippling abdominal pain,hair loss, ups and downs in weight and collapse IN SCHOOL 3 times before I was submitted for TESTING.
They ignored me for 4 years until I tried to kill my self due to chronic pain and found a CYST THE SIZE OF AN 8 MONTH OLD BABY ATTATCHED TO THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF MY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.
I could have been tended to a non emergency basis. But I wasnt.
Now Im a PCOS and endometris (sp?) patient and when i tried to have a hysterectomy due to pain I WAS DENIED BC I SHOULD WAIT TO HAVE CHILDREN. Even after telling them I did not want children I WAS DENIED.
I was left laying on the floor of the emergency room in so much pain I vomited on myself and was told it was just an anxiety attack by the nurses who were nice enough to get me a gown to wear while someone went home to get me new clothes. I eventually went home when the pain subsided, only to come back a couple weeks later with the same degree of pain and was told by the ER doctor that I was just faking my pain and I felt fine to get pain killers, or my personal favourite, it’s just constipation drink 4L of the worst stuff ou’ve ever tasted and clear it out. That caused what felt like my whole intestinal tract to spasm and it crippled me with how much it hurt.
I went back to the same hospital that evening and the doctor on duty then told me I had a gallstone obstructing my bile duct and if I left it any longer it would have ruptured. Between him and my family doctor I was referred to a surgeon and had my gallbladder removed.
The doctor that told me I was fine was the same doctor that told my mom when she went into the ER for her gallbladder acting up to stop drinking or she would kill herself. All that because my mom is Native.
The length of this post is truly frightening.
My favorite part of Supergirl showing up during the Speedforce sequence is that she’s flying with such a serene, content smile.
ppl: ur so talented i wish i could draw

ppl: no but like... ur talented
me: no ive been practicing for ten years
brallie shippers: we have made the perfect otp
me: you fucked up a perfectly good tv show is what you did. look at it, it’s got toxic, manipulative incest pretending to be a healthy relationship.
all these criminals with special powers on the flash is all well and good, but I want to know about more normal people who got powers
like is there a literature professor out there who can turn into visualizations of stories for her students?
is there a grocer out there who never runs out of fresh produce?
is there a doctor that can cure any disease now?
I don’t trust this mature epiphany from Brandon, because he’s done this before and then he fucking slept with her so like… dude.
I can’t remember when it was but Brandon at this really awesome moment where he tells Callie that she can’t keep kissing him when things go sideways? And I remember thinking yes!! Common sense!!
Basically he keeps having these moments where he realizes what the mature, smart, healthy thing to do is and then he doesn’t.
And I’d love it if the show would stop running around in circles and just stop trying to make this ship happen?!
Get enough sleep!!! I can’t fully stress how important it is to sleep at least (this is a minimum) 6 hours a day. Not getting enough sleep wrecks your concentration and problem solving skills, can lead to heart problems, is a major cause of depression and anxiety, and just does all sorts of bad things to your body. Staying up all night isn’t cool or edgy or normal- it hurts you!! Don’t do it!!

‘Freddy My Love’ is Marty’s song from the stage production, if that’s the song you mentioned Keke singing.
