I get so mad about people who insist that doctors went to med school so they can never be wrong about your health like ???? Some Doctors hate fat people??? Some doctors hate the mentally ill or give Helpful NT Advice instead of treatment??? My ob\/gyn took four years and a strong arm from my mom to figure out I had pcos??? <\/p>\n

Doctors are not gods??????<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am a med student, literally currently going to medical school, and doctors are about 15% wonderful people who Care So Much It Hurts, about 60% Eh I Was Optimistic But Ill-Informed When I Chose This Life, and a solid 25% What The Fuck Is Wrong With You You Fucking Fucks Get The Fuck Out Of Medicine Oh Wait You\u2019re Just Going To Retire After Decades Of Being A Bigoted Fuck-Up. <\/p>\n

Doctors need to be held accountable. Right now, doctors are virtually never held accountable. <\/p>\n

There are doctors who tell lesbians not to worry about STDs because they \u201ccan\u2019t get any.\u201d There are doctors who tell fat people to lose weight when what\u2019s wrong is actually a) completely unrelated to weight and b) fatal. A doctor once refused to give me an IUD because I should \u201cmarry a nice young virgin man\u201d instead of being a big ol\u2019 queer slutbag. In my summer job reviewing medical records, I\u2019ve seen three patients who were sent home with a disease that almost immediately killed them because the doctors (three different ones!) didn\u2019t take CHEST PAIN seriously. One of my classmates, a future doctor, told me I was overreacting to the murder of Michael Brown and when I said the hell I am he said I must not UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES. Oh, I\u2019m sorry, I forgot my master\u2019s degree in social psychology is just there to decorate my shelf! My tiny lady-brain can\u2019t possibly comprehend anything important! I once heard a doctor brag about having forcibly sterilized a Latina woman who didn\u2019t consent because she was an undocumented immigrant and \u201cshe had too many already.\u201d He was receiving a LOT of federal research funding for his work with our research group. I\u2019ve WATCHED doctors be horrible, bigoted fuck-ups. <\/p>\n

Like, if these are things someone like me, who passionately believes in medicine to the point where I\u2019ve willingly sacrificed a reasonably comfortable job, my free time for at least seven years of training, and my right to decide where I spend at least three years of my life (because we are obligated to go wherever we\u2019re matched for residency), is seeing at one of the top academic medical centers IN THE WORLD, what the FUCK do you think is happening in the REST of the country, where they HAVEN\u2019T attracted \u201ctop talent\u201d? <\/p>\n

Doctors are not better than other people. We just have less transparency and less accountability. That needs to change. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My mum knows of a doctor who tells trans, lesbian and gay people that the only way to better health is to\u00a0\u201cchange their lifestyles\u201d. She\u2019s been reported many times yet still working at the hospital. Hold doctors accountable<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Hey look, wasn\u2019t I just complaining about this?<\/p>\n

How I gained 100+ pounds in the year following my cancer treatments and my doctors just told me that I was obviously lying<\/i>\u00a0about my calorie intake, and refused to look at my legs that were definitely showing pitted edema?<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s been like 10 years. I\u2019ve seen so many doctors and only just NOW got a doc to FEEL MY LEGS and get me a prescription for a diuretic without rolling their eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GEEZ.<\/p>\n

Thank you, doctors who actually give a fuck! I salute and respect you!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
