Comment on It's not that bad quit whining
saltesc@lemmy.world 5 days agoThis definitely isn’t just a female thing. We were all exchanging doctor stories the other night and everyone had ones like this. Weirdly they were all in the past few years and that being gaslit or dismissed by a doctor just feels normal now.

Doctors are useless assholes nowadays, more interested in yapping about themselves than anything remotely useful.
I’d rather have a drunk North Korean veterinarian who lost his license and doesn’t understand a word of English address my issues than any of the psychotic freaks Canada is cranking out lately.

It’s still hard for to believe I was denied renewal of a medication I was already on for years for serious mental health problems, because “maybe you just need to get out more,” or “might be on your period.” By multiple GPs.
It took two years of waiting for a female psychiatrist to find someone who was like “Oh yeah, you’ve got severe depression, ADHD, AND psychosis from untreated severe depression, let’s get you on meds ASAP.”

Sounds like that’s all in your head. Did you see that on the internet?
(My imitation of a doctor. Pretty good huh?)

“Well of course it’s in my head, that’s why I want to treat it!”
I never understood that it’s “only” in your head thing, yeah that’s how we humans notice things.

All it’s missing is replacing “I don’t recall that conversation” with “you never said that”
