#19: Degrading Doctor

Unfortunately, going to the doctor can be a very frustrating experience, especially for women. Doctors often belittle the pain that women suffer, thinking they are just being overdramatic and hysterical. This stigma has been attached to women for decades, and it looks like it isn’t going anywhere.

This woman shared her own personal story of a time when she visited the doctor complaining about severe pain, only to have the doctor disregard her complaint, saying “it can’t be that bad.” That must have been a terrible experience, and no woman should go through something like this. We hope this woman walked out of the clinic and complained about this doctor.
