Comment on Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal?

I believe John Oliver covered this exact phenomenon in this video: youtu.be/TATSAHJKRd8

tl;dw Doctors assume women exaggerate pain compared to men (the opposite is true), in addition to ethnic (we’re all the same race, so I don’t use that term anymore) biases also discussed in the video.

I really appreciate you citing a white man for this. No one believes it otherwise.

Which is why women get hysterectomies, to remove the hysterical bits.
