    When I was in my early 20's I was trying to get treatment for an undiagnosed heart problem. It was something I'd actually been battling since my middle school days but was misdiagnosed as exercise induced asthma and anxiety. I was always passing out and my heart would beat way too fast and I saw doctor after doctor. I was actually told by one dr that I had no heart issues, I had "attractive woman syndrome" and was just seeking attention from medical professionals. Took 10 years before a cardiologist took me seriously and put me on the proper meds and changed my life completely. I will NEVER forget how frustrating it was to be dismissed simply due to my age and gender and the fact that I felt I was just lazy until I was on the proper meds for my issues and realized what NORMAL felt like. It still angers me that 10 years of my life was wasted due to misogyny in the medical profession.

      I know where you're coming from. I had my first tachycardia at age twelve. Dr thought something had scared me, I told him no, I was just laying on the sofa went to get up an I couldn't breathe, and my heart was racing, one hundred eighty beats per minute. I suffered with them attacks just coming out of nowhere. Drs seem to think they weren't life threatening. Some questioned me repeatedly about was I on drugs. No! Nothing, They always did a drug test, then would do another test to check my thyroid. Always nothing. Finally in the ER they would do a pat drip to reverse it. Finally in 1997 a procedure came out called ablashion. The Dr in ER mentioned it an set me up an appointment with a new cardiologist. Went one time, he did a stress test and found my heart was strong enough to have this procedure. He did everything in one day, all the pre testing and sent it to the cardiologist in Atlanta, my appointment was also made to that day. It was a new thing, and they stressed that I really needed to have it done. I replied,but I was always told that it wasn't serious. Well, there wasn't much we could do, an you shouldn't live your life scared each day. But this hopefully will be a cure for you. I had it done ,they burned small tracks in the area of the heart that outside impulses were coming from. They hit the now scar tissue and couldn't get to the normal pace maker we have. It was life changing for me. I no longer suffer these attacks, only wish it had been available when I was younger. I'm sixty nine now, and have been doing well for twenty five years now. I was told that the many years I that I suffered these attacks, did weaken my heart with each attack. But still going and no heart failure yet. Thankful you got the help you needed, and that people who have this heart issue can now live a normal life.

      Wait,whaa. I was sitting down for supper with my grandparents one evening and that song came on the radio "grandpa tell me about the good ole days." me being me says Yeah Papa tells us about them days. That was second time my Papa ever raised his voice at me. The first when I was two and walked all over his seedlings. His exact words " Boy, what in the hell makes you think there was anything good about those days" He had worked since he was five years old to have what he had to feed the baby's (my mom and aunts) and to be comfortable when he got old. When he calmed down he explained. life then was hard, not awful, not terrible but just downright hard. he did'nt get alot of time to be happy. He was one of the nicest, loving people that I blessed with having in my life. I was already in my late forties when he passed. I sure miss you Papa.

      Also, in modern medical "systems" doctors aren't given enough time to really ask probing questions and sympathize with their patients. It's also why women are more likely to gravitate to "alternative" medicine - because there's someone who LISTENS TO THEM. I have 3 doctors that are regularly late because they spend "too much" time with the patients before me. It doesn't bother me because I know they'll spend just as much time as I need with me. And I *know* they're getting in trouble for it.

    My maternal Grandma was born in 1896 and lived til 1995. Both my parents grew up during the depression. My dad fought in the battle of the bulge. He died in 1979 at the age of 59. My mom died in 2015 at the age of 90. I was born in 1965. I've witnessed a lot in my life up to this point. I also learned a lot of history from my parents and grandparents. (For instance: I _know_ that the paranormal exists, and that Big Brother "pooh-poohs" it as part of their official deception. I have firsthand experience.) Certain abilities run in families. That's why bloodlines are important. And my offspring and my brothers' offspring will continue the DNA lineage. We are a part of the thorn in the tyrants' side. Now, consider a few things: Why does the fridge from 1955 stil work, while the one from 1993 crapped out? The new ones probably won't even last ten years. New vehicles are the same thing. New buildings are built as cheaply as possible, corners are cut, and nobody seems to care. But old buildings were built to last. The towers are gone but Grand Central Station stands. And the surviving steam engines will still function in the event of an EMP. Can't say that about your Tesla Model Y.

      The wrong meds can do a lot of damage too. We need to make more space in our society for people who have challenges, and focus on creating cohesive communities that act as support systems for everyone in the community. We need to stop punishing people for having mental illness, and provide assistance in teaching trauma survivors to cope with lifes challenges in healthy ways.

    I’m glad young kids don’t have to work to help put food on the table now in advanced countries. I must say though that since most people have to work as adults, it’s our job as parents to help children develop a sense of responsibility. Even pre-kindergarten kids can pick up their own toys and put them away when asked to. And they can develop a sense of their importance in the family by helping mom or dad with something within their capability. If done with kindness those lessons will contribute to self esteem and the benefits will last a lifetime.

      Children were also regularly beaten to "discipline", verbal abuse was considered just "making a man" of the boys, and r*pe and s*xual abuse was blamed on the victim or not believed. Please take off those rose tinted glasses. Some things were better but many were worse. And Grand Central wouldn't be around if a plane crashed into it either. Although I do agree that they make a lot of things cheaper than before, that's because corporations want us to throw out things and just buy a new item rather than fix/upkeep the old one, which I think is a crying shame. I try o fix stuff but they aren't mad to be fixed and there aren't places to take items to be repaired. I just threw out a fan after keeping it for a year because the wire was abused. It could work if I could get the wiring replaced but I couldn't find a place in all of Manhattan/Bronx of new York. So frustrating. We need to turn corporations back to making stuff that can be repaired, but that requires us being able to change the government so they have more control over corporations, which is a whole nother can of worms...

    As all of this was going on in my life I started to read about natural remedies and started to work with them...my husband got shingles...we fixed that, stopped the pain and the spread...what the doctors gave him did nothing for the pain of shingles nor did it stop it from spreading. With natural stuff he had no pain, recovery was about six weeks and no scares. Same with a friend who got it and used my oil.
    I'm 67 and with C-19 or any of the flu virus
    I have not gotten during this whole time...but everyone around me got this stuff..
    I never had baby shots as a child and when I moved to Japan in the 60's all I got was the small pox vaccine. It took so bad that I was sick with small pox for a good month before going and the Doctor was afraid to give me anything else that others had to have, for fear it would kill me and he felt it would be better to take the chance of not getting the other diseases, then to risk my life with other vaccines. The Japanese must have felt the same about it because I came home the same way, no vaccines.
    I have never had a flu shot as well, but I never had the flu ever in my life, so...
    Many people don't do well with modern medication so, I am greatful for God's gifts from nature. God told man, What ever you need is right here on earth. Thank you God blessed be. I trust in God and he does provide quite beautifully.

    My Polish Great-Grandfather Wieczorek in Rockford Illinois had a Speakeasy in the basement of his store. He was friends with the Police Chief who would call my GG letting him know when he was going to conduct a raid. The Chief did this to make things “look good,” that he was following laws of Prohibition .
    After the raid my GG would go back running the Speakeasy

    I thought it would be good to mention I and my husband have four wonderful children, and yet neither me or my husband according to modern scientific thinking should have been born. My husband's grandmother was mentally handicapped and my grandmother has severe scoliosis and was told to not have children. My husband's grandmother met and married a man who was a widower with several children that needed care and was told not to have children but she had three. My mother-in-law was extremely intelligent and ended up being the boss anywhere she ended up working and at one point simultaneously ran and owned two restaurants. My husband is an amazing pastor my mom and her siblings are wonderful people and of our four children one of them runs a home for mentally handicapped adults, one of them is a loving faithful husband with his first child on the way after 4 years, another one of them just graduated from Bible college and has a good job at a prestigious hotel and another one started and is running a Christian School.

      Alcohol is smooth muscle relaxant and doctors used to recommend a evening drink or glass of wine to prevent premature labor.
      And up until early 80s women who were in preterm labor were given IV alcohol drips to stop it. While a new drug had come out by then when I was new nurse working in OB I heard lots of stories from the older nurses about the women getting drunk AF and falling out of bed, cussing and wanting to fight, crying jags and in general being obnoxious.

    So when I was a baby (in the 80's), Dad said that he would literally just place us babies on the rear seat where we would just slide around on the bench seat. He said that he never considered it dangerous and that he and all his siblings lived through car rides with the same treatment. I cannot fathom having a baby, let alone a child, sit in a car, without some type of restraint system in place. So many other examples come to mind, but this one stuck out.

    Funny how some in the media in the 1960’s and ‘70’s (and even now in 2023) portray housewives as depressed, pathetic people who hated being a homemaker when I firmly believe it was the opposite! The women who really struggled were the single career women who were the sole providers for themselves and after a few years of working full time, began to think of their jobs as sheer drudgery! But the females who really saw full time work as as a continual struggle were (understandably) the single mothers who had no spouse to partner with them in providing for their families! THAT, MY FRIEND IS REALITY! I’m a woman who is in her 50’s and I’ve known many single career women and single moms and trust me, most of those single women who work are BEYOND TIRED both physically, emotionally and financially, being the sole provider. It’s rare, but I’ve met a few - and I mean A FEW, who love being a single career woman, but TRUTH BE TOLD, most single women begin to think of their jobs as a grind.
    I’m a former “career” woman who is glad I met, fell in love with and married my dear husband, and he absolutely LOVES his career and as of this February, we’ve been married for 19 years and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being a Homemaker!!

    Last time I got lazer treatment I heard the Dr say "oops" after me telling her I was feeling really uncomfortable with my legs "up in stirrups". It's not a great thing to hear a Dr doing a uncomfortable procedure. She's severed an artery which she lengthened a supposedly 10/15 min procedure into a 40 min procedure because she had to burn/lazer my artery closed so I didn't bleed to death. 👍
    I've got many horror hospital stories which is why I only go when I need to which is a shame because I've currently got no hip joint because my last replacement dislocated 5 times due to my (my surgeon was excellent and still is and is probably one of the only Dr's or medical personnel I trust putting my life in his hands) grand mal epileptic seizures making me need surgery as they couldn't man handle it back in even when I was under general anaesthetic aka out cold . So I'm waiting for a new hip replacement as they took the last one out 4/5 years ago and has been put off because of covid which has made me housebound for 5years (my epilepsy is more under control after their 5th shot of medications and I know my symptoms much better now prior to a seizure so I can lie down in a safe space) I also have a brain aneurysm which I got offered surgery for but was told the percentage of something happening that may make it worse which was rather high, so they just give me regular MRI scans to keep a close eye on the size of it which hasn't changed since they first found it 6+years ago. The worst things was finding a dead patient while being a patient and a Jr Dr giving me a heart attack after me saying to him I didn't want him and it wasn't necessary for him to take blood from my central line but he insisted and I said he could try once but he didn't listen but I couldn't see because he was sitting at the side of my head where I couldn't see what he was doing and when I noticed and told him to stop it was to late he never listened and thought he knew better which he found out quickly he didn't as he didn't realise it was a central pic line even though that was the reason I told him many times that's the reason I didn't want him trying to take blood from my "central line" 🤷‍♀️ (a central line also known as a pic line is a line that goes in down in a surgery room by xray into a deep vain in your bicep and threaded down straight into your heart valve, it can also be put in your neck/jugular vein and threaded down to your heart also) all the alarms were pressed and EEG connected , oxygen given, artery blood taken to see what chemicals my own body put out as a result as what he done, chest Xrays, heart scan taken and pic line removed. Bloods came back that the heart attack (it came back in my bloods it was my body's reaction, "a heart attack" as an exact result to the thing he was doing). I won't let a Jr Doc near me now and even when it comes to cleaning my hospital room or space and changing my dressings (nurses) I always do it myself as I know I've washed my hands and know where I've been. That's how paranoid they've made me because the amount of mistakes made, oh also handed the wrong medication more than once due to the nurses to busy gossiping (yes 2 fully trained nurses which is needed when giving out certain drugs as it needs signed twice so usually at night the 2 nurses just come round together going from bed to bed) luckily I know my medications. But that's just the mishaps that have happened during many stays in hospital. Half the staff you wonder why they work in the field with people when they seem to have a crap bedside manner especially with people that have dementia or alzheimer's disease & don't have visitors and can't tell a relative or will forget because of their dementia or alzheimer's etc. But the other half are absolutely excellent and caring and treat everyone like they would want to be treated themselves or have their relatives treated, you'd think they were sent as guardian 😇 angels to look over the hospital. The Dr's that do everything in their power to make you comfortable and get to the root of the problem. And thank God 🙏 for those people that go into work day after day with a big smile and positive, caring attitude which just lights🌄 up the wards on their days of work because it makes a massive difference to all the patients mental health and general mood on the ward with health care workers, all of them from cleaners, auxiliaries, nurses, Doctors and surgeons. We do notice the positivity that these workers give off and it makes a huge difference. Once I've had my surgery I can't work (I used to be a carer in the community, in nursing (private and NHS) homes etc and I loved my job working with older people and being able to make a difference. but being in hospital as a patient for the amount of time I have has made me want to volunteer to be a companion for the people with noone, I've taught myself to do nails whilst I've been house bound and nail art just so I can maybe make them feel a bit better and they can either have a talk or just a silent companion doing their manicure so they don't feel pressurised at all into having a conversation if they don't feel like it. Blessings all and especially to anyone that read it all, 🙏😇❤️

      ​@Stephanie Ann Blakely Maybe because the "examples" I know don't come from money. And if they were receiving less time with their parents because of work schedules? They weren't being given "material things" to make up the difference, like that "one such case."
      Oh! I did like the way you started out with "once such case" and ended with "as a result, many people grew up being..."
      There are many articles about the financial difficulties the younger generations are facing. Not everyone is getting some kind of "multi-generational wealth." I know I didn't, meaning I couldn't pass it on to my kid, having worked until I couldn't due to medical issues. That kid is doing fine, now. But they're 33...
      If you're at all interested in what I'm saying, perhaps just Google it instead of trying to score some kind of points with your ad hominem attack. It just really doesn't look good, on anyone.

      I feel that to be a liberated woman is to be able to choose whatever I want to be, even a "stay-at-home" wife or mom. It doesn't mean women are JUST staying home. They may have a business they run from their home offices or kitchen tables, and also have more opportunities to volunteer time to help others, if we want. How women want to spend their lives should not be judged. We should feel fortunate to have the right to choose. Period.

    I read somewhere that all the way up until the 70’s it was thought that infants can’t feel pain and thus medical procedures were performed without pain medication such as anesthesia. Infants were allegedly operated on while fully aware and felt 100% of the pain during any and all medical procedures.
