basically all 6 doctors who saw me from ages 8-12. "You're overweight, the reason you're constipated is because you're lazy and need to exercise and drink more water." doctor #7 thought differently and it was a tumor, size of a grapefruit hanging off of my right ovary and it was cancer... my parents went back and basically told each doctor off...
Oh my god, that’s horrifying. I’m glad that last Dr wasn’t a complete last pos and bothered to look for the cause of the problem, not just blame you. I hope you’re doing well now
@@chronic_payne5669 in a nutshell, ehh... 75% doing okay. 22 years cancer free! but I still have life long complications from the cancer/chemo and other things that they found during my treatments... but thank you for your reply!
R you alright?! Those doctors are pos
@@romamaximoff yeah, I'm okay... and also, one of the doctors knew me since my birth! and from what I was told, his eyes grew wide and teary when he read my medical chart. he was doctor #4 that we saw and he said that he regretted not really doing a full physical on me...

When i was about 12, I developed a rash on my abdomen. My grandmother, who was a nurse, said it was a "Christmas tree" rash because of the shape of the spots. I of course thought this was hilarious. I went to a dermatologist to get prescribed some topical cream. When I came out of the exam room in tears, my mother was appalled to hear that the piece of shit dr. had insisted it was in fact syphilis and that I was a slut. He had done no tests, just took one look and began questioning me about my sex life. Again, i was 12. Needless to say, I was mortified. A grown man (with a female nurse present) was insinuating that I was promiscuous. Later that day, my father got home from work and my mother, still in shock, explained what had happened. Lets just say, that doctor would end up regretting his behavior. And loosing a few teeth.
I got some benadryl and it went away.
Jesus fucking christ
They should've checked his hard drives as well. Anyone who looks at a 12 year old and thinks "slut" is revealing more about their state of mind than anything else.
@@Schaemia You're 100% right and he certainly had some explaining to do to the authorities. It was in the early 90s, so not sure how much internet access he would have had, but his office was in the same building as my pediatrician. Makes you wonder.
that’s horrible and that doctor is disgusting and should be ashamed of himself. i’m sorry you had to go thru that
Even if How do you even get a syphilis on abdomen area in a shape of a Christmas tree no less he is definitely a quack but something tells me that there is something else like he knows it is not syphilis but he told your mom that so he can ask explicit question if it is the case he is a predator and sorry that you had to experience tha
I have autism and depression... my old doctor didn't believe in mental diagnosis..... yet she had no problem blaming everything I came to her for on my autism......
i always tell my psychiatrists that i suspect i might be autistic and they ALWAYS ignore it like its some sort of joke, i hate it so much i just wanna bang my head against the wall and cry everytime because i just want some answers and solid proof that im not "just a weirdo"
I’m sorry that happened to u
A few years ago (and a few doctors ago), I told my primary doctor that I had autism. She looked me up and down and said, with a smile, (paraphrased, because it was in Danish) "They might have been wrong" with no further explanation.
Me and my dad, who had been present because I don't like being alone with doctors, think she assumed because I could look at her face and have a conversation that I must simply have been misdiagnosed
@@shuraakiyou are not a weirdo doctors are just failing you
I’m waiting for an adhd and autism assessment the doctor I went to insisted that you couldn’t have both which was really annoying but I finally have an assessment date after five years of being denied an assessment because of a cyst on my brain
I have an eating disorder, a doctor told me once "just eat normally, no need to starve yourself" till this day I have no words
Are they even qualified?
Thats insane. If it were that easy ED's would not be a thing
My response to that doctor,
“Buddy I don't think it works that way, if that was the case, would I be here? No, now refer me to a therapist you piece of sh*t”
Mm yes. "Oh you're homeless? Just get a job and buy a house."
How the hell are they even qualified-
"you have asthma? just breathe"
I think everyone needs to learn that severe acne can be physically painful. I couldn’t touch my chin or nose because the deep skin acne hurt so much I would tear up if I even lightly bumped my head on anything.
Fr. Plus, it boosts ones own confidence looking at a nice face with no acne, even if they’re not trying to “impress” anyone.
(For some people)
Oh yeah, absolutely. After a certain point it's not about looks it's about comfort. I get cystic acne from normal hormonal cycles and that alone can be painful since I get it on my scalp and can catch with with a brush sometimes. Luckily mine died down after going on birth control, my heart goes out to those of you with more severe acne.
Holy fuck THANK YOUU. I was thinking that the whole time like “I don’t care how it looks either, it just hurts like a mf!”
Right??? You can’t sleep cuz it hurts if you turn to your sides. You can’t scratch anything, your glasses can hurt if they’re in your sides. God forbid you cuddle someone or a small child decides to play with your face. Acne is an issue.
A doctor once told me “I hope to never see you back here”.
For context, I was in a behavior health unit and just got discharged. It’s probably the only situation where that’s not perceived as a threat
U almost got me there
the nurses at my unit said the same!
How did you feel about it though?
Not a doctor. I’m not in behavioral health but critical care. I always jokingly tell the patients who are well enough to leave that I don’t want to see them back in icu anymore. From what I can tell, it’s usually well perceived. But I won’t say it anymore if it can be offensive.
@@seapinkoyster i know i’m not OP but it made me feel really good when my nurses said that to me. they were very happy to see me doing better and able to go home
@@seapinkoyster I was confused for a second before realizing what he meant and just laughed it off
Once had a doctor tell me my periods are supposed to be unnaturally heavy and irregular, to the point I literally collapsed and could barely move from the pain. Took getting a female doctor to find out what endometriosis is
I'll always pick a female doctor when possible, scared of things like this happening. I'm at high risk of breast cancer, and i don't want to be waved off because a doctor doesn't want to get uncomfortable to look at a tit or for him to say it's normal or to act like I'm lying to get a masectomy (I'm a trans man-- statistically women are a bit less transphobic than men)
@@NicoTheMooTheShroomoh shit man, me too, i never thought they could think im trying to get top surgery like that and lie about having breast cancer
I feel your pain... Literally.
For me, it has been male doctors and surgeons that have been the best at dealing with my endometriosis. The first gynae I saw was a woman who didn't listen to me, and told me "tell me about pain I can help you with". Her lack of action left me with a diseased bowel and stage 4 endo.
I went in and had told my doctor the same thing. Painful to the point of begging for death.
She recommended me to a psychiatrist.
(I have a different doctor now that takes me seriously but DAMN was it rage inducing)
I had just given birth to my stillborn daughter a couple of days before and I had to go to my doctor for a post partum check up. I don't like to cry in front of others and I was trying to stay strong for my year and a half old little girl and my husband so I wasn't crying at the moment and was holding my tears and anguish in for when I got home. Just before my doctor left the room to go take care of other appointments, he turned to me and his exact words were "I guess I'm more upset than you about your daughter passing." It took everything in my absolute power not to punch this man in the face.
That's an insane thing for anyone to say. How dare he
Why would he be more upset?
What a fucking evil thing to say
@@NJ.Magpieit sounds like what the doctor was trying to insinuate is that OP wasn’t showing enough emotion to be upset about her stillborn child, when she was just trying to keep it together in the moment. Hope I got that right, but OP if you see this I’m really sorry that doctor said that to you. I hope you and your family are recovering after this.
Apparently with doctors like that you're either hysterical or unfeeling.
I got told by a mental health doctor that I couldn't be autistic because I was smart
a lot of autistic people are very smart. that doctor is stupid. makes no sense because a lot of "gifted children" end up being being diagnosed as autistic such as myself.

@@suivatra123 i retract my previous statement
I was like 12 and had a throat infection
that was getting worse. I was already in the hospital because of it but the doctor wanted a second doctor from a different building to look at it. My dad and I went there and after looking at it for a few minutes he talked to me and my dad about how he can't really be sure about something unless he had done surgery and how surgery was the only real way to go about this. The problem was that I am terribly afraid of surgeries so I was clinging to my dad and crying and he was still talking about surgery. After 10 to 15 minutes my dad said that we were getting nowhere and we left. The infection ended up going away with antibiotics.
Bro i have it most of the time ik the feeling where you try to breath and you feel this mesh inside your lungs it's really terrible, avoid cold substances and soft drinks can do it too atleast for my case.

Sophomore year, I was passing out at school, during marching band rehearsals and had to be picked up by my mother several times. There were times where my muscles literally refused to work. I couldn't talk, stand, sit- I would just lay helplessly on the ground and sometimes, I'd spasm uncontrollably. This easily turned into me having frequent mini-seizures and it made my family frantic. We tried going to a bunch of doctors, only to hear that clearly since I was skinny and young, I was healthy. Eventually we found a doctor that diagnosed me with a central nervous system disorder who told me that had I gone much longer without proper medication, I likely would've died.
We love invisible illnesses! Except yours was like. Totally still visible. (I have chronic migraines and a lot of people don't understand how terribly sick I am or how it's affected my mental function because I look like a typical young woman my age)
@@balladofroses5282 Oh, several of my family members have this as well, my dad being the worst case and I can tell, it sucks. I get migraines and headaches a lot as well, but not to the same extent obviously. Anyways I wish you happiness in life.
If you’re skinny, nothing can be wrong with you. If you’re fat, even slightly, then your problem is that you need to lose weight. There’s no winning.
A similar thing is happening to me! I have these seizure like episodes where I suddenly stop moving for anywhere between 10 seconds and 2 minutes. I don't remember anything that passes during those minutes. A few months ago, I spent 4 days in the hospital for observation of the episodes, only be told that they were "probably just from anxiety". Both me and my parents called BS, and we're now looking into another doctor who will hopefully take this seriously because it could be rather dangerous.
@@c1k2. I would ask a doctor about CNS disorders and P.O.T.S. Both can cause seizures like that and both can cause other serious issues for you if you don't get medical attention quickly.
First pregnancy, I was high risk and could lose the baby if I went full term, you have to have the baby before 37weeks to ensure nothing goes wrong. He wanted me to go full term and when I was against it, he said "there's only a 3% chance you'll lose it if you go full term". Going full term can be serious and cause stillbirth, I was very scared, he had been nothing but red flags the whole pregnancy but being my first time and not seeing a lot of doctors growing up, I figured maybe I was just overreacting, after I expressed wanting to go somewhere else to have her, he lost his shit and started yelling and guilting me, told me I would have a massive amount of strangers I didn't know coming in throughout the whole process to stare and touch my lower region, when that wasn't working for him he ended the appointment and walked out angry. I switched hospitals and doctors and was much happier because they cared about my daughter arriving safely, they were also good for my son I later had.
Sounds more like a perv and abuser than a doctor.
That's terrifying and you should have sued. That's illegal on in so many ways
omfg what at least ur children are safe
I told my doctor I believed I had autism and I wanted a referral so I could see the right specialist and get diagnosed. She laughed, then said “oh, your serious?” Then proceeded to tell me that I should spend so much time on web MD, I was paranoid for no reason, and I’d never be able to afford a diagnosis anyways, before adding that I was clearly stressed, anxious and prescribed me a sedative. That was the first time I ever went to her, never went to her again.
my insurance covered my diagnosis with a referral which I ended up getting almost a year latter after fighting the entire time. Surprise, I am autistic.
Mine told me I’m already in special Ed so why waste the money getting diagnosed 😅 I just want it confirmed or not
I've heard that if Albert Einstein was around today he probably would have been diagnosed with autism as well.
After a rutine check up with a optometrist doctor,she told me at 18 that I was gonna become blind by 30 because I had Glaucoma (a very serious condition), she didnt even sugar coated she just told me and sent me home without any treatment or anything.
Luckily my mom is a doctor so I told her right after i left the clinic, still in shocked and she was freaking out and the same date she got me an appointment with another more experienced doctor who told me that my eyes were perfect and that I was misdiagnosed, now Im 32 years old and I see fineee
I canr believe how some doctors can be so irresponsible
I had a retina specialist look at my eye because my vision had gone black. It started off small in the bottom corner of my eye, and then started spreading. It was weird and I really don’t know what to do.
So I went to her and I told her all the situation everything she got the flashlight and looked in my eye and couldn’t see anything and she just became very frustrated with me because I had made multiple appointments before telling her they were something wrong and they just didn’t know what was wrong . She goes well. If your eyes causing you this much trouble we can remove it if you want. I thought of it as a last resort type of option if they couldn’t find anything.
Show with being frustrated. She referred me to a different specialist at a different place. They got off the big magnifying lens. It felt like I was looking into the sun. It was that painful, and it turns out that my retina had detached from the back of my eye, so I literally was losing vision which is why I had black spots , so the next day I had surgery to fix that and then a few months later, I had a giant Cadirrac develop in my eye because of that as wellZ. Which I just had the surgery a few months ago and I’m doing fine for the most part.
Just to clarify, I am really blind in my eye like I can see I’m not as well as I can now after the cataract surgery because they change the lens prescription so now it’s really really fuzzy and a lot worse than it was but I can see shapes I can kind of see movement and I can see so much color
Yeah, so I don’t go back to the doctor at all anymore. She was just rude.
Yeah I had one till me I had the starting for glaucoma , but every time I’ve been since every thing is find so I found that weird.
well, doctors aren’t rlly supposed to sugar coat things, going blind is serious. but she should’ve atleast given u treatment

The only people who say that looks dont matter have naturally very attractive looks, but credit thier personality for all the poeple that like them, actually brain dead behavior
Well I mean not all of them do. I consider myself good looking(let me finish pls) and I consider pretty much everyone good looking. But the problem is that the beauty is in the looker's eye. My looks are not everyone's cup of tea, nor are yours everyone's cup of tea, not the neighbor Brenda's looks are everyone's cup of tea. So yeah, looks don't really matter to me, but the personality. And again, my personality traits might not be your cup o' tea, but yours might be my cup o' tea.
@@candychocolates looks don't matter to you, but they matter to most people. Even just preconceived ideas we have based on our past experience can mean that someone's looks change how we think of them without us even trying.

When I was in Middle School I was having a hard time breathing during PE and the teacher worked us constantly till we couldn't walk anymore everyday. I went to the doctor so I could get a prescribed inhaler and the doctor I met with kept refusing that I actually had asthma and just said that I wanted to skip PE (I wasn't even trying to skip, I just needed the inhaler so I didn't end up getting sent to the hospital). After so long of proving I actually had asthma the doctor still couldn't believe it and just sent me off with an unprescribed inhaler so I could shut up. The whole time my mom was furious with her but apparently there are no other doctors available at the time to actually diagnose me with asthma. Fast forward a couple years later when I got really sick with a plausible respiratory infection a different doctor gave me a device to blow into as hard as I could and guess what, it confirmed I had asthma
I once had an emergency doctor tell me I wasnt blowing into the asthma measuring device as hard as I REALLY could. I'd been diagnosed decades earlier, with severe asthma. I can only assume he was in a bad mood because he had to work on Father's Day.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says,
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

I always had some problems with my mental health but was told to "stop acting" by doctors and teachers. So I tried to act normal for years. When I was 17, I was having severe problems with my mental health, got panic attacks, sleeping disorder etc so my parents were scared and took me to our family doctor to get a needed letter of referral for a therapist. The doc just looked at me and said, "It's usually the old people who have such made-up problems. Are you sure you just didn't play too much videogames?"
Only after my parents became VERY angry did I get this letter. I got a therapist and she said it's only natural I am depressed, I have ADHD and autism and since it went untreated for years and I was ridiculed for typical ADHD/autism behaviour, it turned into an extreme anxiety disorder. It took five years for me to be able to cope with all that.
this hit too close to home. In middle school right now. I have all the symptoms for dysphraxia, ADHD, and some of the symptoms exclusive to Autism. Parents are constantly trying to convince me it's normal, trying to avoid sending me to a psychologist because they don't think anything's wrong with me. I'm practically begging at this point. Not to mention I have a potential personality disorder too, but I'm not introducing that one until I can actually get diagnosed with it on my own. They would NOT believe me if I introduced yet another one.

A nurse told me that i was a teenage slut and heavily implied that my mother was a bad parent for even having me.
This was because I came in feeling ill/fevered but she didn't believe me the 5 (FUCKING FIVE ) times I said it wasn't possible to be pregnancy since I was a virgin. The fact that I, at 16, felt the need to detail that because a grown ass woman was pressuring me was literally awful.
She was crazy. She just didn't like teenagers at all and said every teenager 'hooked up and partied' despite any time I'd try to explain I was more the stay-at-the-library kinda guy.
Ugh I hate how they do this to female patients. I'm a 26 year old virgin woman and doctors still charge me for pregnancy tests every time I go to the doctor even after I told them that I'm a virgin! 😡

At 8 years old (when i did classical dance, sports and played outside in the evenings) a rude male doctor told me to lose weight because i had a 'belly' and 'girls shouldn't have a belly'. Ever since i felt extremely concious about my weight but no other doctor ever commented on it or mentioned if it was a problem. Come to find out from my uncle (doctor) that I was perfectly fine as a kid and I weighed more because I was taller than most kids my age (I was the tallest in my grade). He also mentioned that that doctor is generally just an asshole to little girls. The body issues never went away though :') My mom thought i was fat as well so she never intervened.
Oh I completely get the " Being the tallest in grade, hence weighing more but being called fat for it"
My mother was anorexic and her aim was to always look as tiny and skinny as possible
I grew up tall and well built😅
It was hell for me

When i was 9, i was bullied at school. One day my bully pushed me down the stairs from the second floor. I ended up in the middle of the first floor stairs with a bleeding head and few bruises. My classroom teacher was very biased towards my bullies ( because there was our school principle's youngest son among the bullies ). So she gave me few ice cubes and told me to stay in the classroom. I thought crying would put them in a tight position so i started crying and yelling at them. as i thought they finally took me to the hospital. in the hospital i tried to tell the female doctor what happened and accidently called her " Miss ", i think that offended her. she looked me in the eyes and told me " Miss? They are in the school... i'm a doctor. call me madam or doctor " after that i didn't even smile or cry the whole time. I decided to shut up from now on. because by then, i realized to stand up and talk about my feelings, i should've the power or money.
I went to a psych for my depression and during our first meeting she was reading through my intake form and paused. “You have autism?” I confirmed I do. Then she smiled. “Congratulations! You don’t actually have autism!”
I was caught off guard with the ‘congratulations’ bit (because wtf that’s a person you’re talking about) but managed to ask why she thought that. She said it was because I’d been making pretty good eye contact for the last 5 mins, and since autistic people can’t make eye contact then I was misdiagnosed.
I’d met this woman 20 minutes ago and she thought that was enough time to undiagnose something that had taken me years to prove, had taken years to accept, and had affected my entire life. I didn’t schedule another appointment.
i'm autistic and i make eye contact all the time because i have trained myself to do so. what a horrible doctor but also ignorant. also the congratulations part is disgusting and rude.
When I was 14 we moved and I got a new doctor. I went to meet her with my mom and she basically blamed me for everything that was wrong with me. Even telling my mom that she had done wrong by me. We went to the hospital administrator with this information and she was fired.
was she having a bad day or something cause tf was her problem
I had a pediatric Cardiologist say I was overreacting with esophagus cramps. I asked if there was more testing he could do and he told me “There’s no need since it’ll only prove my point further and embarrass you.” Yeah well I was later diagnosed with 3 different heart conditions and suffered a minor heart attack at 22 years old and another when I was 25. If that doctor was still alive, I’d try to sue him.
Remember that you can sue a clinic for having employed an incompetent Dr.
While pregnant and not making a lot of money, so I was on WIC and most of my food came from this program to be able to eat during pregnancy for me, unborn baby and husband. Only going to the store for things we couldn’t get from WIC, not able to apply to for food stamps until baby is born, so just doing what we could to make sure we’re feed and especially me because I suffered with bad nausea the whole time. My nurse practitioner kept telling me WIC wasn’t enough, it’s not healthy, she wanted me to go on a diet and exercise- eat unprocessed foods from farmer’s markets. I told her repeatedly I’m doing the diet and exercise the best I can with the sickness and other symptoms and working part time, I don’t have much money because most is going to bills and trying to save for baby - WIC food was what I could get because we didn’t make a lot of money and I could barely afford the processed stuff at stores at times. How could I afford unprocessed farmer’s market food? She just told me to negotiate prices, I told her I don’t have the money to negotiate. My husband was severely upset she was talking to me like this and asked was she gonna pay for our food if she was so upset or disapproved of our food at home, I felt very ashamed at times because I was trying to make sure baby and I ate and no matter what I did it wasn’t enough or I wasn’t doing it right because I could only afford what I could.
Your husband should man up and feed you and your child! Lazie basterd
A male nurse once told me " It's not my fault you are fat"
what a savage, homie gave no fucks that day 🤣
he's not wrong tho.
I mean, it isn’t.
All these people here saying he wasn't wrong when we don't even know if she was fat or whatever else happened before these words. Apparently you just feel a pressing urge to defend a MALE nurse. Weak.
@@northstar2621 The sex of the nurse has nothing to do with it, but okay. Misandrist.
Once my doctor dismissed my severe headaches and migraines because her children, that are around my age, never had them so she asked if I was just faking it to get out of school.
I had a blood pressure of 170/110 and had to go to hospital because I was at risk of having a stroke.
Damn, that is realy bad. How are you know, I hope you are good. I don't know why your head hurt, but I hope it got better and you found a right doctor.
@@anastazijastojadinovic Yeah, we still have no idea what the cause is so I'm just on blood pressure meds lol
I’m 37 and for 17 years have had numerous GPs refuse to sign me off on having my tubes tide because “ what if you want children down the line”. I don’t want children and ever have.
same boat friendo. even if on the very slimmest chance of changing mind, adoption exists.
But that isn't their choice is it? If you want th procedure and there are no health risks attached the doctor can't say no?
It took mt mom way too long to get me diagnosed with autism. She works with special needs kids to this day, and recognized the signs i showed from an early age. Nobody took it seriously because i was high-functioning and female so my symptoms were different. They just saw a hormonal overweight mother being paranoid about her adhd daughter's behavior. Turns out i have both.
I’m overweight. Couple years ago I had a doctor tell my parents that they should put a shock collar on me and anytime I got too close to food to give me a shock. He wasn’t my doctor for very long.
When i was 15 I went to the doctor and she called me fat because I had gained FOUR pounds in a YEAR. I was 5'4" and 124lbs and still WELL within a "normal" bmi.
Well I started starving myself for 16 hours a day and one thing lead to another and I became bulimic for about a year
I'm well into recovery now and haven't purged in years but I still think about that comment and how much it affected me and sometimes wonder if i could sue her ass for that but proabably not
I told my therapist I was developing anorexia fast when I was about the same age/height as you and I was around 115 lbs. She burst out laughing in my face and explained to me she saw me eating so many calories every day and pointed out the calories on my pop tarts. I explained I was starving myself, eating only one meal a day because I thought I deserved the pain. She laughed it off. I didn’t know much about calories until she pointed it out. I figured I needed to cut calories to be taken seriously. And then I battled severe anorexia for years.
I went to the doctors office to get a Plan B pill. My reg doctor wasn’t available so I was seen by a younger Nurse Practitioner or Physicians Assistant. She told me she refused to prescribe me that because she didn’t believe in Abortion. I being early twenties, felt like shit for after she said that. I thought I was being responsible by getting emergency contraceptives but was misinformed by this PA that it’s a form of abortion which it’s not. So I went home and worried about getting pregnant which fortunately didn’t happen. Worse medical experience I’ve had.
When I was 14 and having severe stomach bugs (just vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, etc), the adult doctor, instead of asking me valid questions about my condition, only asked me about my sex life. I didn't have a sex life. He saw an ill teenager that was born female and he immediately assumed I was pregnant or had an STD. They didn't send in an expert on digestional health, they sent in an expert on STDs. That was the most unsafe I've ever felt in a doctor's office.
That doctor was a predator. Either that or a sexist pig, regardless, he should’ve had his license taken away.
Had an African dr. She told me the reason for my period pain was my weight and proceeded to show me pics of her skinny daughters and how they all model while in college…all the while telling me I’m overweight.
I was told by a general practitioner (not a gynaecologist) who just met me and before doing any physical exams that I better have kids now because it’s urgent and I’m not getting younger (I’m 27). I didn’t even talk to her about kids nor mentioned any strong desire to have kids but she felt it was her duty to tell me what to do with my life.
She's right though
@@Lizzymorasco4382no she wasn’t tho
@@Lizzymorasco4382 she doesn't know my fertility status or my medical history so she can't just make general statements. My gynae said I have plenty time after doing physical exams.
@@Lizzymorasco4382 no she isn’t. It’s not your doctor’s place to tell you to have children unless it’s directly brought up in conversation. What if the person is child free by choice? What if they’re infertile? It’s nobody’s place to tell you to have kids unless the patient brings it up.
Bet money men of the same age are not pressured like this by doctors to have children. It's sad and disgusting how women are treated in the healthcare industry.
I was 26 and told I was going through “early menopause” and would be unable to have children. My period had suddenly become irregular, and I was there to do some blood work to see if there was any sort of imbalance. That’s it. This male doctor I had never seen before, who ran no tests at all, gleefully told me at age 26 that I was going through menopause. It was the strangest thing that had ever happened to me at the doctor. By the way, my hormones were thrown out of wack due to taking birth control pills for 8 years. Never took them again, haven’t had a problem since.
“Make sure her dad actually tried to make an effort so that your daughter can keep her legs closed” I was around 13 sitting beside my mom. She’s done other things that now in adulthood I can see are pretty f-ed up but this stuck with me.
Sad how underaged girls are treated like criminals when statistically, the majority of teen pregnancies are caused by GROWN MEN.
my first visit to the dermatologist was lowk horrible. i was around 17 and the lady that was checking me was pretty young, like mid thirties had good skin and there was a 20 sumn year old male assistant too. i didn’t have much issues w my face but i went for my arm rashes i’d been getting that got worse. my mom and brother were in the room w me too and i started noticing how hostile she kept being to me but to my mom, brother, and nurse, she was all smiles to them. i mentioned only the rash and she immediately started touching my face w no gloves, lifts my shirt up aggressively for back-ne, and when i questioned abt my stretch marks all she told me was that all i can do is surgery and laser removal for that. i wasn’t even asking to remove it i was js asking how would i lighten it and she automatically went there. as the appointment went on, she quite literally gave me an attitude for every question i asked and answered my mom and brothers more calmly. she was demeaning asl. the entire time i would notice how the male assistant would look weirded out abt how the doctor was acting. it’s horrible when your young talking to a doctor yourself and they’re treating you like your incompetent. and then they cover it up in technical terms so you js sit there and question if they were actually treating you bad or not
She absolutely was. Especially considering her OWN ASSISTANT was freaked out by her behavior.
That's terrible... Honestly, is that "dermatologist" even qualified for this??
Oh, this is a fun question.
I am only fourteen years old, and at the start of the year I was constantly attending appointments with my pediatrician almost every week. It was the same reason every time. Awful stomach pain, dry heaving and vomiting. It got to the point that I missed so much school because whenever I did go to school, I would spend my first and second period in the bathroom, dry heaving and throwing up anything that my body could repel, even if I hadn't eaten anything that morning.. which was most mornings because it got to the point that I could not keep anything down. Still, my doctor was adamant on believing that I was experiencing acid reflux and she prescribed me medication to relieve the symptoms. Nothing. No improvement. The appointments continued, and my mother practically begged for her to put me on Zofran. I was rapidly losing weight because I couldn't keep anything down and I was scared to eat for that reason, but she refused to put me on Zofran. In fact, she accused me of starving myself, which is why she refused to put me on Zofran because it wouldn't help if I had nothing in my stomach. Next morning, I ate, my mother watched me eat and then just an hour later, I was hunched over the trashcan, so we went to the ER where I was finally prescribed Zofran. A month later, they finally found out what was wrong. My gallbladder is full of stones, and I have to get surgery in ten days (November 6th) to remove my gallbladder.
hey, it's november 7th in my country right now, how did your surgery go?
it's truly awful how it takes an emergency visit and months/years of agony to get some help you deserved from day one
i hope your life can get better from now on, and you'll be able to cope with this trauma
take care, comment section stranger!
@Blissteen_BB Hey, thank you so much for the kind response!
I am recovering well from surgery. My gallbladder looked very strange, the surgeon who specializes in Gastrointestinal Surgery was even surprised by the appearance of my gallbladder. She said that it looked like a buffalo chicken wing.. and after looking at an image that she took of my gallbladder, that is exactly what it looked like. Apparently my gallbladder was chronically inflamed so I think it is good that I got it out when I did, because my gallbladder surely did not look healthy at all.
It is very awful, I agree with you. It sucks that the people who we should trust to make sure we are healthy are making such mistakes that could have easily been fixed beforehand if handled properly. Still, I'm just glad that we discovered my issue before it got too bad. I hope you are having a good day, by the way!
@@killianandmorgan4615 Do you know that you can sue her right? LIKE, If it wasn't for your mother finally taking you to the ER then you would still be suffering. My father had too stones in his gallbladder and had it removed in 2023 but before that his bad habits of delaying things got to him which I felt quite annoyed about, but your symptoms are a more... Well gross medical malpractice, like couldn't she have done something else like you suffered and suffered came to her office and sat there with your mother and she refused to believe you and your mother, this could have devolved into a very serious situation risking your life and well-being with your mother's mental health when that would have happened, remember your mother literally begged her and she didn't even consider changing the medicine like it wasn't working so why not change it, ok so this has devolved into a rage rant on the malpractice that this female doctor did and I say to you to get a well fast and speedy soon! Godspeed!
TW**** self harm, su*cide
I was about 15, just tried to unalive myself. Cut all up my arm and went to a hospital. I was scared about the needle they needed to use to inject some numbing agent so they could put staples in. Anyway, the doctor says "you did this but can't handle a needle?" Then laughed. I still get pissed about it today
They said the same to me in the same situation at 12
Oh my god that's horrible. Who just casually tells that to a suicidal person??!
What an inappropriate thing to say. I'm glad you survived. ❤
When I was like 6 I went to hospital for a severe allergic reaction. It was really bad and my doctor (who started that day) told me I should try eat the things that made me allergic just to make sure it was that ❔❔ man I would probs die if I did that again
I was 35 and my gynecologist had me on birth control pills to regulate my menstrual cycle. Not one time did he mention that the pills can cause severe weight gain. Ladt time I went to see him he said " My god, you just get fatter and fatter every time I see you." Yeah....
They also pose a risk of life-threatening blood clots as well as cancer. Not to mention some of them permanently shrink your clitoris which decreases sexual pleasure. Birth control pills are extremely dangerous. I know a girl who went BLIND in one eye from taking birth control pills and she still hasn't regained her eyesight since she stopped taking the birth control pills.
I assume the weight gain thing is because the hormonal change that birth control pills cause can mess with metabolism, right? Thst feels like that would explain that result, in which case you definitely should have been informed.
@@thoughtspeaker8705 Yep, not a single one of my gynecologists even mentioned it to me.
@@Maeglin7936 I feel like there should have at least been a warning from whichever one first suggested it as an option for you.
@@thoughtspeaker8705 nope, not a single one. Granted it was the 90s but that isn't even an excuse for their lack of warning.
my doctor laughed at me when i brought up a serious mental issue i was having (my mom wouldnt take me to a psychiatrist so it was my physician)
I have PCOS, and I just had my second miracle baby. I had pre-eclampsia with both pregnancies, and both babies came out at 34 weeks. The RN that was there told me that I wasn't meant to have children. I let my doctor know what she said, and she wasn't allowed anywhere near me or my baby for the rest of my stay. Hopefully, she'll think next time before she speaks.
I went to the family Dr for something in my first trimester for my third baby. When he found out I was pregnant, unplanned, he said: “Gee, if you’d asked, I would’ve given you a quarter.” I think he meant for a rubber. He was the same doctor who took my face in his hands and cooing something I don’t remember, almost rubbed noses with me. I was relieved to change doctors!
I was in the emergency room, with my stats really high. I was struggling to breath, the nurse told me to stop hyperventilating and wanted me sent home... I ended up in hospital for over a week and had pneumonia.
That's horrible.
Oh my god
I remember my dentist refused to see me because she thought I was too fat and was going to break the chair. She said this in front of the waiting room and it seriously wounded my self confidence
I have mild cerebral palsy, and I went to a doctor to have a check-up before surgery. I was born with cerebral palsy, and I will always have it. This doctor, straight up said to me: it's your fault you have cerebral palsy. My bad for having a brain haemorrhage at 2 days 😂
After a fall in dance class, I had trouble walking, going up or down stairs, sitting, and anything that involved movement in the hip/pelvis region.
The doctors I saw throughout the years from the day of that fall - "You're fat. Just exercise and it'll stop hurting."
It didn't, it continued to hurt.
When I moved to PA, I met my ex-bf's friends and one of them had me lay down and he pushed against my pelvis when I mentioned how painful it was to walk.
He said, "Did you know your pelvis is dislocated?"
So yeah, I was in pain, not because I was fat, but because my pelvis had been dislocated after the fall I had in dance class. 9 years of suffering because doctors would rather blame my weight than actually look for the real problem.
Old doctor I had acted like liquid gold came out of her mouth when she talked. I had seriously health concerns and she just chalked it up to anxiety and wouldn't hear anything different. I reminded her that 40,000 to 80,000 people die each year from misdiagnosis most due to anxiety. Woman looked me straight in my eyeballs and said "40,000 to 80,000 people vs 3 million living people. I was disgusted. Complained to my insurance and the hospital.
horrible doctor. i almost died because of doctors like her. i hope you have a better doctor now, awful
When I was ten, I went into a clinic for a migraine which I got every month for about four days. Instead of talking about what I came in for, the doctor body shamed me the entire time. She said my acne was disgusting (something I didn’t even understand, because I didn’t know what it was-I do have bad acne and this video helped me realize I can get help for it) and that I was obese. My mom was told to stay in the lobby, so the doctor wasn’t scared to go to town on me. She called me a fat sLu++y pig and told me to take some advil. Along with my migraines, I was also having chest pains. She said maybe if I ate less my heart would be okay. She had to take my weight. I weighed 64 pounds. I remember because my mom has a note from her saying that I should go on a diet. I was underweight. Oh, by the way it turned out I was having small heart attacks and my brain was just letting me know something was wrong.
how did she even become a doctor? You were literally underweight and she told you that you were "obese"?
I was 11 Years old broke my Collarbone in like 3 Parts, when I did fall of the Horse. As I was standing there with a Helmet, Boots, smelling like Horse. He didn’t even look and ask me „How did that happend, were you skiing?“ my respons was „do I look like I was skiing?“ - The expression on his Face priceless☺️
Opposite experience. Parents took me to a dermatologist at 14 bc some of my acne hurt. I asked to just do topical cuz I didn’t wanna mess up my body and he kept trying to get me to take some pills because they got rid of everything- not just the worst. Told me that having acne is unattractive and that I shouldn’t be happy only getting rid of the worst of it. I told him to prescribe the lotion cuz I’m perfectly fine with how I look
When I was in the forth grade, I had horrible *horrible* stomach problems. Like I would wake up early in the morning, screaming and crying in pain. And it was for a good month and a half. We went to go see a doctor and he did a "check up" (basically did nothing) and said I was "just nervous about school starting!" Well. We waited till school started, and it just got worse and worse. Had to miss two whole weeks of school. So one day we went to a different doctor. She pressed my lower stomach once and immediately told us I was heavily constipated. Like almost to the point I would literally just pop. I will never forgive that douchbag doctor that told me I was just nervous.
Had a doctor tell me I should stop breastfeeding my son as "my breasts would become flacid and unattractive" and I would not look sexy. Yup, I had no words.
I have autism, anxiety & ADHD (diagnosed by specialist) and my mum was helping me to apply for NDIS (National disability insurance scheme). We needed a letters from my doctor to help with the application but she point blank told us “you can recover from autism, it’s not a long term illness” and refused to help us with the application. Due to her being unhelpful my first application for the NDIS was denied. My mum decided that we had to change doctors and we found a one who is amazing & actually helped us. My new doctor told us that she was disappointed in my old doctor and corrected what we had been told about my disability. She suggested that I treat it more as a condition and that there are ways for me to learn about & work with my disability. Thanks to her help my 2nd NDIS application was approved!
Literally anything. When you’re disabled and actively clawing your way through stupid doctor after stupid doctor, _begging_ for some semblance of treatment and just getting patient dumped *over and over again* - pretty much every time I’ve gone, it’s all gone downhill.
When I was nine, my sister was 18. And my sister was doing something and she fell, she was on a mountain and people got her down, she went to the nurse because her leg hurt from the fall a day at school, and the doctor told ONE look at her and said “Your fine, go on now.”
I asked after weight loss surgery. She told me to try diet and exercise. I've been doing my best on diet and exercise, but I've got 2 chronic health problems that make it difficult to exercise... Chronic health problems that would almost certainly be improved by weight loss. And I've been doing my best at dieting, but all I've really been able to do is keep myself from gaining more weight. I'm at extremely high risk for developing an eating disorder, so I don't want to start taking more extreme dietary measures than I'm already doing.
It's frustrating that I'm genuinely trying to get my health under control and I can't explore options that would probably help me because people think I'm not trying hard enough.
I had a sleeve gastrectomy 3 years ago and it’s been a huge improvement. Look into that. Insurance covered mine because of weight and medical issues.
The doctor was right, they don't just give out surgeries like that
@@user-me7iw6ft8z How bad does it need to get in order for me to get information about surgery? Do I need to wait until I've already worn out my joints? I've been seriously overweight since I was 10, I've been trying as hard as I could to lose weight without doing more damage. I need help. I've gotten rid of my prediabetes diagnosis that I've had since I was 12, but I'm not losing weight. I can't just "pull myself up by my bootstraps" here, I've been trying to do that for the last 16 years.
This isn't about vanity, this is about the excruciatingly painful old age I'm staring down if something doesn't change.
@@user-me7iw6ft8z”I asked after weight loss surgery” They had the surgery and yes, weight loss surgery is “given out” to patients who, get this … need help losing weight
Are you on any medication? If you are check out the side effects of them. A load of them have weight gain as a side effect. And your doctors and pharmacist won't tell you about that side effect; I found that one out the hard way.
Edit: which is why I am so fat right now. I am actually losing weight but man is it hard.
Had muscle issues after a stroke. Was admitted in the wrong ward as I had back issues. Took a week to get a diagnosis. After that as I wasn't switched to the right ward it was a battle to see anyone on the stroke team. Finally for the muscle issues we started asking, asking and asking for one. Finally after stressing out for 4 days finally saw one. Confirmed it wasn't unexpected as its a weirdly normal part of forming new neural pathways.
The doctors response on why it took so long to communicate this to me. His response "your in an NHS hospital, you should learn to expect an NHS level of care"
When I was little, about 6, a doctor accused me of getting up at night to have midnight snacks and said that’s why I was over weight. ( I did not, in fact, ever have any midnight snacks )
My mom had to have security called on her.
My mild allergy to dairy also went unsolved until I was in Highschool because every doctor I saw said my severe stomach pains were because of my weight or diabetes. So there’s that.
I remember where my doctor weighed me, looked at me and said "wow, you're quite fat, aren't you?"
I was only JUST overweight and had a bmi only 0.5 over into "overweight" from "normal". I cried the whole way home because she saw "overweight" and told me that was the route of all my issues.
I got diagosed with EDS soon after with my dad in a geneticist who finally took me and my symptoms seriously
my childhood doctor prescribed me an anti anxiety medication that ended up making me have fits of dizziness and blackout spells. When I brought it up at the 2 week check in appointment; he preached that my apparent side effects were due to me being female and how I would be stupid as to stop taking the meds on my own volition. He pedalled that blacking out and fainting was normal girl activity and that I wouldve been just as weak and fainting prone if i wasnt on medication at all 🙃
I was 11-12. The doctor was over 300 lbs. And told me I weighed too much at 95 lbs because of BMI.
Ironically, that wasn't my last time seeing him. I was an early bloomer in middle school, and I was always covering up because I was embarrassed to be the first girl whi was going through puberty so quickly in ny grade. (The other girls were all stick thin with barely there breasts, but I was well into a C-cup and I had started developing in 6th grade. The bullying was relentless.)
His response to seeing how quickly i had developed in a school year? "You should do something about those." While pointing to ny breasts because "If you're skinny with large breasts, boys will think you've had surgery and call you fake." My response was "Do you want me to lose breasts or gain weight?" He laughed and said "Lose breasts, of course. Who wants a fat wife?"
And THAT was the last time I saw him as a doctor.
Does he even know how it works? That's pure wild to say.. seriously.
14 years old, healthy but on the edge of a developing eating disorder due to a lot of insecurities. They asked me about my diet and I said "Well, school starts and ends super early, so usually I just eat lunch at home after school", which they interpreted as me eating a full meal as a snack for some reason. The doctor kept repeating "A meal isn't a snack, you don't need to be eating all of that". I took her words to heart and it spiralled into a massive eating disorder, to the point that I was subsisting off of half an apple a day and chewing gum. I lost about 40 pounds but because I've always been very muscular, I didn't look horribly thin at a glance. My mother could tell I was suffering and I was regularly falling asleep or fainting after getting home. It took about 7 years to actually have a semi-normal relationship with food again.
I went undiagnosed for fibromyalgia for YEARS with horrible pain to the point of no one could touch my shoulders because the doctor said I wasn’t 18 so there was “no way” I could have it. The second I turned 18 her tone changed completely
I'm so glad the only unprofessional thing a doctor ever said to me is 'I love Dwayne Johnson'
I went to my old primary doctor for my IBS before I turned 15 and he said IBS was rare and other bullshit like that. And was overall just completely disregarding my problems, and we left very quickly during the visit. My mom was furious and she changed my primary doctor.
Accused me of having an std bc I kept getting yeast infections bc I was on antibiotics for my HS. She also would constantly make assumptions about me bc I was over weight. “ stop drinking soda and eating sweets so u can loose weight.” First all my mom was a diabetic and never allowed her children to have pop or sweets like that. After a change of doctors and a lot of hospital visits I found out I had pcos after she denied anything was wrong me, that it was only bc I was fat.
P.s.
Not saying that loosing weight wouldn’t help but bleeding for damn near 2 weeks is not only a weight problem but a hormonal one.
As a man who had acne, i suffered from it too. Doctors said it was "just puberty" but it never went away until I bought a creme.
My face itched a lot and bleed sometimes causing infections.
It was awful, and doctors should take you seriously
Had a doctor look at my chart, see my adhd meds, and spent the whole appointment trying to convince me to stop taking them cold turkey and just do yoga everyday instead. That was our only appointment.
I had a terrible experience with a doctor a couple years ago. I came about breathing problems id had for months. Like everyone else in my life she jumped to the conclusion it may have been connected to anxiety. And the doctor said she could relate to the stress and called me a "smart cookie" when my mom, who was with me for some reason, overshared as usual, telling her about my anxiety attacks. Absolutely discusting. I have never been more insulted. From there I emotionally and mentally retreated from there. And did not get a diagnosis. After the appointment I texted my brother sobbing.
My dentist told me my depression was not an excuse for having one cavity and needing my tooth removed. He refused to treat me and sent me to someone else
I also gave an doctor and acne story!!
When I was 13 I started to get acne, my doctor saw it and asked if i wanted a cream to help to which I said yes because no matter how much i washed my face it wouldn't go away. So she gave me a clear milky cream to put on my face everynight before bed (that stuff stunk) after a couple of weeks I noticed that my acne was getting worse so I stopped using the cream and low and behold it stopped getting worse and started to go back to "normal" (still had acne like how I had it before but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was with the cream) so a few months later I go back for a checkup and she sees i still have acne and asked me if i wanted the cream again, i told her no and that it made my acne worse to which she rolled her eyes, looked at my mom and said "Teenagers, they see 1 zit and think it's the end of the world" and prescribed me the cream again. I didn't use it at all, we got home and itossed it. My mom always listened to me when i said I didn't want to use/take something so she made no fuss about me tossing it.
Yo- you weren't even making a big deal about it... You just told her it made ur skin worse. That lady is getting annoyed for no reason
when I was 9, I hit my head and developed double vision and had a severe concussion. One doctor asked if I liked school and me being the honest child said "no not really but it's alright" and two days later sent me out of her room for no reason. My mum came out of the room fuming and told me the doctors thought I was lying. Turns out one of my eyes was off center and what ended up being a 2 day eye drop fix was dragged on for months because they refused to believe my claims.
My friend who is at a perfectly normal weight for her age was told that she was fat and needed to loose weight. Like he really said that.
It’s absolutely disheartening to hear so many sad experiences from people trying to figure out what’s wrong.
It’s better for that person to use those resources and waste time than to be misdiagnosed or ignored. As someone with many food allergies amount other health problems it’s difficult to go to the doctor especially when they downplay your symptoms. Always ask for a differential diagnosis. Always ask to see a specialist and don’t be belittled by doctors who have no idea how you feel because it can really be a matter of life and death
My doctor that I've been going for 7 years said once : Man, your hand are fucked up what did you do?

I went to a cardiologist recently because I have problems with my blood pressure and heart rate changing positions. My pediatrician thought it was POTS but I needed a formal diagnosis. We drove 4 hours to the hospital, only to be told it was totally normal for a growing girl like me. (I get really lightheaded, feel like I’m going to vomit, have really low salt levels, I have problems with blood circulation in my hands and feet, I’ve passed out, etc. Very not normal things to be going through) anyways she told us I have fine and wouldn’t explain why it wasn’t pots and just sent us home
Remember if ur doctor ain’t working for you change em especially if you are in an area where there is hundreds of them
I never realized this but i should probably go to a dermatologist and get put on a hormone balancer. My hormones have been unbalanced since I was 11 and I am 16 and have the worst acne scars ever. I have dealt with acne for so long and uncontrollable emotions even not on my period. Birth control doesn’t work.
The hormone balancer they put you on IS birth control. If your moods are uncontrollable unrelated to your cycle it's probably not hormones
When I was pregnant I was having heart palpitations and the doctor laughed and said there's no such thing as a pregnant woman and having heart palpitations
I'm genuinely sorry that the person who experienced this, had the misfortune of meeting that specific doctor that day.
Doctor really said "It's ok, just suffer"
A lot of things, but the worst was when I went to a doctor with a 5 day 99-102 degree fever. This was in 2020 before lockdown in my state, so I was put in a hallway because there were no empty rooms. Doctor tested me for pneumonia, said the test came back negative, ignored when I said I have a disability that makes changes in internal body temperature deadly, and told me I was just being over dramatic. Turns out, I had COVID like symptoms. I may never 100% know what was wrong with me. After two weeks I felt better but I’ll never forgive him for completely ignoring my symptoms and past medical history, then charging me thousands of dollars, including for a room I wasn’t even in.
When I was losing hair during my pregnancy my doctor laughed it off and said, “Look (pointing to his bald head) I’m losing hair too!” 😑
toxic positivity at its finest
same about my reoccuring eye styes, which has now damaged my eyes
a doctor laughed and said "get used to it - it's not like we can do anything about it"
Its always the ppl with clear skin who say stuff like this
I have a lot of acne and I agree with that, but acne can be super painful! It’s not just a cosmetics thing: it’s an inflammation of the skin.
“Maybe you shouldn’t get pregnant if you can’t afford to get the tests done”. It was 2020, my husband was laid off due to the pandemic. The dr was ordering tests and my insurance wouldn’t cover any of it until i paid my deductible. I was responsible for tests which were coming out to 400-500 dollars. I couldn’t afford it on one income. My OB was annoyed.
Went in for severe back pain that I have had on and off since I was 12 after falling off of a trampoline, the doctor basically insinuated that I was there for pain pills, my back was hurting because I was fat, told me I could lose a few pounds but, “you’ll never look like the models in magazines” then proceeded to tell me I could get a scan done on my back but I probably couldn’t afford it. The WORST experience I’ve ever had in a Dr office. 🥴
Bro my depression medication wasnt working ie: Cant sleep properly, cant eat properly, cant do basic hygiene, barely can get up out of bed, get bored easily basically the same symptoms before but when I told my doctor she basically said: “No, no, it’s working.”
