poking me ...erm - important maybe thing i left out.<br />poking me anywhere [the way docs do it] ALWAYS hurts. anywhere. i'm sure it's very similar for you, PF. but my stomach is the WORST - my whole abdominal area is just...<br />look, poking my abdomen is <i>not a useful diagnostic tool</i>. it never has been. that's also on my list of "porphyria causes" - abdominal "tenderness, such that the application of 1/2 pound of force can cause the patient great distress, at the approximate same level as a broken bone".<br /><br />and she fucking KNOWS that.<br /><br /><br /><br />i hate most doctors, i do. it's never ever their fault that they don't listen until i'm dying, and then they have to do absurd expensive things to save my life because they spent six months telling me "it's just the fibromalgia, have some vicodin" while my gall bladded has *ceased to function*. or whatever. it's MY fault for not, i don't know, being able to telepathically PROJECT it all into their head so they KNOW it's true and can then ignore that i'm a women and women always always always lie and are never ever fucking ever anywhere near as "ill" as they claim, never.<br />fucking doctors. fuckfuck.FUCK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-86743436124623570142011-06-02T04:53:08.513-04:002011-06-02T04:53:08.513-04:00there *HAS* to be something, this has to change. s...there *HAS* to be something, this has to change. study after study has shown that women receive lesser healthcare, that doctors are more prone to ignore complaints from a woman than a man - because, see, if a MAN complains, it's because it's so bad he just CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE, but a WOMAN, well, she just has a small bruise or a papercut and will complain at ANY- and EVERYTHING, will make up problems, because all women are A) hysterical B) prone to melodrama/exaggeration and C) are desperate for ANY attention.<br /><br /><br />do you read Echidne of the Snakes? she has a new?

My mother de...Doctors really are weird about pain. My mother dealt with pain (I don't know how intense) for years, having doctors just keep telling her it was "women's pain." Then she changed doctors and mentioned her "women's pain" in passing. The new doctor flipped out, ran tests, and scheduled my mother for a hysterectomy. Mom's pain went away, but it took finding the right doctor that took her pain seriously. And she only found that doctor after she gave up hope on anything being done with her pain.<br /><br />I sometimes get the impression that ER doctors don't understand that far too many GP's are willing to ignore or minimize their clients' pain and other complaints. Part of me wonders if that's because ER doctors are far more used to dealing withe life-or-death situations, whereas GP's tend to see everything as another day at the office.<br /><br />And the doctor who said that about your toes turning grayish-purple as "cosmetic"...HUH?!?!?! I'm not a doctor, but what you describe sounds to me like it may be a serious circulation problem.Jarredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793668797961461325noreply@blogger.com
