I came across an article about a 27-year-old woman sharing her traumatizing experience after seeing a doctor. And her story isn't rare.

have surfaced over the years of doctors brushing away people’s complaints that turn out to be quite serious. Many are quick to blame patients’ weight, lifestyle choices or even “it just being that time of the month” to be the cause.

While I have luckily never experienced the severity of symptoms or subsequent serious diagnosis like Lee, I have experienced doctors not taking me seriously and worse, shaming me. The worst was my primary physician I had in my early 20s. I came in repeatedly for my symptoms, but kept getting brushed off.

I was later diagnosed with a chronic condition, one which I have learned to manage with daily medication and adjustments to my diet. I also immediately found a new doctor who actually listened to my concerns, was empathetic and never hesitated to order tests or try new treatments.
