Selma Blair Reveals Doctor Told Her To Get A 'Boyfriend' Before Her Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis

Awful.

@georgetakei Indeed, but most doctors don't. I have had literally dozens of issues from Asthma to bone cysts that have been misdiagnosed because doctors are unwilling to take me seriously.

That time I was going to be sent home from the ER for a laceration across the palm of my hand that nobody even bothered to look at. Eventually wound up with 14 stitches. It would have been a weird and stupid way to bleed out. But all the med pros are soooo sure they know even before they look.

@georgetakei
I'm surprised those doctors didn't diagnosis her with "hysteria". πŸ˜’

Hhhmm.. getting a boyfriend or an other partner isn't actually the really most bad thing one can tell you...

But yeah still ..... not cool

@georgetakei Don’t know if would trust him as my Dr.
@georgetakei More than 30 years ago my Dr. ignored my back pain (a woman Dr!) Bc I hadn't recently done anything to cause it other than carrying luggage. I turned to a chiropractor who relieved my pain for 20+ years. The next chiropractor who saw me (after my fav chiropractor moved) diagnosed me with scoliosis. Seems to me that chiropractors and naturopaths are not as arrogant as MDs and they care more about helping patients than the typical Dr does.
