Seriously do NOT eat that second edible even if you think the first one didn’t work. Gets me every time lol

The full anatomy of the clitoris wasn’t even mapped out until 2005. It wasn’t believed to even exist until the late 90s.

I’m really supportive of your point that we shouldn’t discourage people from seeking medical help. I’m all about preventative medicine and modern advances. But I think you’re a little biased from the place where you work. I’m glad you work with people who seem to care about their patients. I don’t think it’s as universal as you want to claim.

I’m just tired of hearing that doctors care and then never experiencing that in person. At some point there’s a disconnect between what doctors believe they’re providing and what patients are experiencing.

For you. Some women it’s much worse.

Pain management should be offered depending on the patient’s individual needs and not because of some outdated idea that we feel less pain there.

My personal experience has largely been that doctors don’t listen to me, so I’m sorry, but your one point of view here doesn’t cancel out my entire lifetime of being disbelieved.

I have an autoimmune condition that took 4 years to diagnose. I was constantly told I was being promiscuous and treated for diseases that i tested negative for over and over again. And this was knowing I had a history of autoimmune issues from my childhood.

I have an IUD replacement coming up next week. I was told no pain management would be offered, but I could take some ibuprofen before I come in.

I’ve been told to my face that my gallstone pain wasn’t real as I was throwing up into the doctors office trash can. Told to call ambulance if I wanted pain medication.

When I gave birth, they refused to allow me to wait for labor to set in, I was forced to go on pitocin. I labored for 3 days before having an emergency c-section. And then the nurses were late with pain meds for the two days I was still in the hospital. Oh and there’s no nurseries anymore, so my newborn was in my room the entire time and I had no help and a new surgical incision across my abdomen.

So no, I don’t believe that most doctors care about their patients.

@YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com explained it much better than I did in my admittedly flippant statement.

It’s more like doctors don’t believe women can feel the cervix very well even though we very, very much can.

Female doctors, too.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was referencing.

The vast majority do not offer it. Doctors believe it’s just a pinch or light cramping.

I was refused any pain relief for my next iud insertion. And that’s happening in a few weeks.

Edit: lol I didn’t realize what comment you had replied to - yeah that was funny hah

Ibuprofen doesn’t touch the pain at all.

Have you been through birth and iud insertion and other procedures?

Still don’t offer pain relief for procedures like IUD insertion and the like.

Tbf apple seeds do have cyanide in them and should not be consumed in large quantities.

Doctors still think the cervix has no nerve endings.

Yes, yes we are. We have been for pretty much forever. We fucking suck.

Why wouldn’t they? They’re the demographic that has the most leeway for breaking the rules.

Thanks for sharing 💕

Those two were so sweet, I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope they’re snuggling together right now wherever their spirits may be.

I don’t care.

Adding to your comments while we’re actively communicating back and forth is rude. I cannot reply to the new info you’re shoving in there because you’re editing after I’ve already seen your comment.

This is a common internet courtesy. I suggest you reply in a new comment rather than edit if you have more to say in a conversation.

You did not ask a single question in the comment above:

Yes they are. And your refusal to admit men can feel fear about women is amazingly sexist. Sounds like you think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man.

I’ve got an amazing piece of news for you. Not all men are a monolith. Just because the only men you’ve had in your life suck doesn’t mean all men suck.

That’s like saying I ate rotten bread. Thus all bread is rotten.

I never said the men in my life suck, I said the exact opposite. Are you fighting ghosts? What’s happening here?

It’s not fair to edit your comments in an active conversation - I’m missing parts of your reply.
