words to remember

[wrdbnr]

[mcdyke-deactivated20171112]

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

[leftiesneedrights]

define proper diagnosis. I mean, does that just mean the diagnosis you want?

[mcdyke-deactivated20171112]

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 :)

[cobra-23-deactivated20151224]

I call bullshit

[40yodater]

Of course you do. Like the first 10 doctors. 😒

[cobra-23-deactivated20151224]

I call bullshit on the story. If you think you have an issue you should see a specialist not just your PCP.

[40yodater]

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.

[beesplosion]

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

[proudly-pro-choice]

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. 

[celestial-cat-prince-deactivate]

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

[symphonicsadness]

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.

[fail-sage]

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.

[kirawords]

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.

[kaijuno]

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.

[spacebabenumber-25]

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.

[words-writ-in-starlight]

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.

[hypergoomba-deactivated20171103]

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

[magic-and-moonlit-wings]

One of my sisters went to the hospital with sudden and severe abdominal swelling, such that her roomiest sweatpants barely fit. She got sent home. About three hours later she was in so much pain that her husband called an ambulance. I don’t remember what was wrong (this was about ten years ago) but I think she needed surgery.

I overheard her comment to my parents after the fact (we went to their town to visit her in the hospital) that she’s pretty sure that, when she first went in, the ER people thought she was “just a fat chick with a stomach ache” (her words), what with the medical system being prejudiced against women and the overweight. (She’s not overweight, or maybe she’s just over the line, but abdominal swelling made her look fat - and even if she were obese, that doesn’t justify withholding medical treatment!)

[humanityinahandbag]

Went to the doctor and said my lungs hurt too much to breathe. They said, “you’re smiling, though! That must mean that you’re fine!”

I was like, “naw, man. Listen. I know me. And I know that this isn’t fucking normal.”

“You’re fine!” they said. “Just take a day off!” they said.

“Take. An. X-Ray.” I said.

When they figured I wouldn’t actually leave unless they gave me what I wanted, they grudgingly (and a little snobbishly) took an X-Ray expecting to find nothing and hold it in front of my face and sing nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah to their hearts content.

Turned out there was something.

Both my lungs were filled with fluid.

I had double pneumonia.

Just sleep on it, my ass.

NOTE TO DOCTORS. JUST BECAUSE WOMEN ARE CONDITIONED TO SMILE AND BE POLITE AND NICE (but shouldn’t everyone be polite, I mean jeez) DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE’RE NOT IN EXTREME PAIN. LIKE, FUCK- YOU SHOULD BE IMPRESSED AT HALF THE SHIT WE SMILE THROUGH!

[inky-momma-deactivated20170316]

I complained about severe stomach pain for five years. Couldn’t eat, constantly missed school, was doubled over in crippling agony at least twice a day, shrieking and crying. Had three doctors tell me it was just stress. My mom finally begged the fourth Doctor, a specialist, to run some tests. Turns out that my gallbladder didn’t work and never had, so my food was digesting without bile, which is why my stomach felt like it had thirty knives going through it all the time. Fuck off.

[azaleahayes-deactivated20170201]

When I was 8 I was playing in the creek and a stud earring I had in got yanked out of my ear. It had a locking back that got pulled into my ear and stayed there even though the earring itself was gone. My dad didn’t believe me, but luckily my mom did and took me to the doctor. I was told by him that I easy lying and overreacting, that there was no way it was in there. According to him it was all in my head. My mother insisted that he inspect it further, and he didn’t believe me until he had the damn thing in his hand. Then he proceeded to cauterize my ear without consulting my mother or I which hurt like hell and wasn’t even necessary. I hate this sexist society we live in, I still feel like we’re in the age of giving women medical orgasms to cure “hysteria.”

[notesoftruth]

@deadcatwithaflamethrower

So on the one hand I want to ask your opinion on this, on the other hand it’s already horrifying enough without you weighing in. But you’ve weighed in on this topic several times in the past so I kinda want your perspective?

[deadcatwithaflamethrower]

Weigh in? OH, fuck yeah, I’ll weigh in.

I got to see my new doctor last week.

The very first thing he said to me after Hello, Nice to Meet you, was:

“You’re on too many medications.”

So I smiled at him in that all-teeth way that’s not a smile at all and said, “No, I’m on just enough medication to function.”

Then I had to justify every single one of them. He doesn’t want to refill one of them until I’m seen by a medical psychiatric health doctor…which will literally take months since they haven’t even called me yet.

Not “Why do you take this many medications.” Not “Why do you take X drug?” just: “you’re on too many medications” full stop.

Fun times.

[nodesiretogrowup]

Story time. I have had multiple kidney stones since the age of 13 (I am currently 25 and currently have a stone). I had to go to the fucking hospital for them to realize I even HAD the first stone. I’ve been told many times by many doctors and specialists that I’m “not in enough pain for it to be a stone,” because I sit calmly. When my dad had a stone, he passed out due to the pain. When I had a stone lodged, which is said to be one of the most painful things ever, I still sat up and attempted to function like a normal human. The specialist I was seeing at the time had the FUCKING GULL to say I had a “low tolerance for pain.” When I tell my current specialist that I think the stone is moving, he says that you can’t feel the stone in the kidney so my pain must be “woman problems.” Nevermind the fact that A.he’s never had a stone, and B. ever since the first stone I have KNOWN when I had/have a stone in my kidney.

[pikachuslut]

When I was at boarding school I started getting a rash under my arms and I was like huh that’s weird so I went to see a doctor and they were like it’s just a normal rash it’s probably bc of ur period. And I’m like no it’s painful??? And they said it wasn’t that serious, fast forward a few weeks I cannot move my arms around without severe pain, I see the doctor and they’re like “ur over reacting” and then I say i changed my deodorant but it was a few months before this started and they told me that it probably wasn’t that since I’d been usig it a while and I was just over reacting it would go away. A few weeks later I wake up and my arms are bleeding I am in extreme pain, I go to my RA sobbing and she’s like “holy fuck get in the car we’re going to the er” 2 ERs wouldn’t take me bc it didn’t seem serious enough then finally I go to a hospital and they let me in, I’m seen by a female doctor who is horrified by my arms and runs tests. I apparently was having a severe allergic reaction that had developed real time and it was totally avoidable if I’d been seen sooner with ointments and treatment, she then told me if I’d waited a few days longer they would not have been able to salvage the top layer of my skin. I couldn’t move my arms for weeks after, couldn’t shave or use deoderant and I had to have help changing my clothes and carrying my things to class, not to mention I slept on the top bunk and had to move my mattress onto the floor so I didn’t have to climb and re open the scabs

[youaretheheart]

It's more than just violence against women, it's medical negligence. Most of these stories could've end up in death. When I was 4 had the worst fever and abdominal pain, but the doctors kept saying it was just gasses. It turned out that my appendix was so infected it had exploded and the infection was spreading to my bladder and other organs. I could've died but yeah, just gasses.

[velvetgurl]

ok i decided not to be so emotional and overreacting
