    I empathize with your story, but I’m not sure why it became about anti-women doctors. Men constantly have our complaints misdiagnosed.

    The problem is that most GPs aren’t very good. People who do the best in medical school often choose to become surgeons or specialists, not GPs.

      Idk, I can simply say there’s a lot of jokes women make about how you can go in with a broken ankle and your doctor will ask you the date of your last period and tell you you should get some exercise. Though I did work with an excellent gynecologist who disposed of the scale in his office because it didn’t mean he wasn’t going to treat his patients or make any difference to their care.

      GPs also make shit money and work a lot of hours to be fair though, but yeah some of them really are the pits.
