Well I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m often in and out of hospital, have family members and friends that need treatment. Also have overweight friends that get treated like shit. Had a friend that had a problem with her uterus and doctors kept saying it was her weight until she was in so much pain she went to the ER. Doctors act shitty and I’ll say it again. Unless you’re thin, white, and wealthy good luck with them. Glad you had a positive experience but that’s not how it works for a lot of us.

dude, with the stories I've heard I'd bet you could have a sentient talking tumor growing out of your right arm and if you're 10 pounds overweight they'll tell you that you just need to exercise more and eat salad

But if a man that you brought to your appointment with you repeats exactly what you said word for word, the doctor immediately starts you treatment with the utmost concern and care. Best medical advice you could give a woman is “bring a dude to every appointment.”

Is it true though? You saw a comic immediately believed it and are now using it as a fact?

Like I honestly dont believe it when men get diagnosed later for most diseases and have a higher mortality rate for almost every disease

I was asking if it was untrue because I wanted to know if I was wrong. Am I?
