Doctors can be some of the most discriminatory people, I swear. Diagnosed with anxiety? It's anxiety. Diagnosed with Autism? You wouldn't understand what it is. Are you a woman? It's nothing big.
It took us years of doctor visits until we finally found a doctor outside of our insurance network who spent the time of day to come to the conclusion that my partner's pain and medical issues was most likely a severe case of endometriosis.
Our favorite doctor during that period was one who said they were "in the prime of their womanhood" and that pain is normal. Dang, if it only goes downhill from here, then might as well end it now.
Anyway, I wish all doctors could be like the one who actually spent time to take us seriously and investigate what was going on. It would have saved a lot of money, stress, and pain.
