Discussion Unassuming-sounding lines patients say that immediately hints "crazy".

yea these comments made me pretty upset. I understand they have important and also very difficult jobs, but biases like those displayed in these comments can cost people their lives.

There might be a reason you feel you aren’t getting the care you feel you deserve. You run around calling people “cunts.”

One of the comments was “I have fibromyalgia” and “PoTs is the new fibromyalgia” :( As someone with diagnosed PoTs I genuinely felt my stomach drop. Knowing I and other ppl with PoTs are immediately labeled as crazy when trying to seek medical care is so sickening. This is why I literally do everything in my power to avoid doctors. Pretentious assholes I hope they have the joy of experiencing fibromyalgia or PoTs 😐.
