If you're a doctor and

- don't take your patients seriously because they're young, have mental health issues, are LGBTIA+ and/or BIPOC

- don't listen to them and think you know more than them about changes in their own bodies

- minimize their pain or pretend they're exaggerating

Then you're a really bad one and MUST do something about that.

Improve, learn, get rid of any doctor/patient hierarchy.
Get another job if you don't intend to heal people and treat them with respect and humanity.

@Testoceratops

this happened to me 11y ago.

it took having others advocate for me while i was in horrific pain to get a biopsy done that confirmed i had cancer.

then it took a better doctor to confirm i had cancers, plural.

solidarity in your fight but dear gods is it brutal the tag #DoctorsAreDickheads still needs to exist

@Aphrodite I'm so sorry to read that. I'm glad you're still alive!
