True story, I had serious pain in my chest and got a metallic taste in my mouth, my left shoulder started hurting and i had trouble breathing. I went to the emergency room, thinking i was having a heart attack. they did an ekg, told me i was fine and sent me on my merry way. The pain comes and goes every now and again, but i just power through it like a real man does.
You can always consult a different doctor.
One night when I was 18, like a couple months before I turned 19, I was having a fitful nightmare. And mind you, I didn't have nightmares yet because I hadn't gone to aircraft mechanic school by that point. I woke up extremely nauseous and with terrible abdominal pain. I staggered into the bathroom and puked my guts out. This wasn't something I ate or some stomach flu, this was different. I couldn't stand up for the pain in my midsection. I convinced my mother to drive me to the hospital, where they gave me Maalox.
For 18 months this went on, every now and again once or twice a month just BOOM, always at night, no apparent reason. We ruled out food allergies, I was prescribed everything from muscle relaxants to migraine medications. This interfered with my aviation medical certificate, I was grounded for ten months.
I was at University, away from my home town, and it happened again. One of my roommates drove me to a different hospital. The doc at the ER was a young chick with a nose ring, like I'm barely 20 by this time and she didn't feel much older than me, she hadn't been out of med school long. She had the bright idea to put me in a CT scanner while my tummy was actually hurting.
About 45 minutes later I was being whisked into an operating room to have my appendix removed, and the early morning thunderpukes never returned.
I had appendicitis for 18 months.
Good grief - that's amazing. Either you're exceptionally tough^1^, or that was one incredibly atypical case. Either way, glad you survived all that.
I'll outlive all my enemies so I can piss on their grave with oddly colored pee because I won't go to the doctor!
I'll see you in Valhalla, brother.
You know all that medical gaslighting and not having their problems taken seriously women complain about?
Men don't experience that as much because we just don't go to the doctor in the first place.
As a cis male, I've found the opposite to be true. I do go to the Dr. for all kinds of stuff. I also tend to tell it like it is when in a consult/visit. That's where I noticed that things are backwards for me. I'm taken too seriously, as though I'm under-playing my symptoms. Like I'm a guy who decided to actually come in to the doctor's office, so it must be really bad. It's actually led to a few cases of being over-prescribed on things.
Cis woman here and I feel I have the opposite of your experience, so what you are saying makes sense.
I also try to be straightforward but always get treated like it's the first time something has bothered me and that it's only minor, when in reality it's usually been years and I've reached the point of it becoming unbearable.
Midwives are pretty bad for this in my experience. I was told to have a bath and take over-the-counter painkillers as I probably had hours to go. In fact, the baby was here within the hour.
People of all genders should exist within a system where they feel they can seek help without prejudice. I hope you are well and the over-prescription didn't lead to adverse outcomes for you.
hell yeah brother we don't need a doctor to gaslight us, we can do that just fine on our own, repeatedly saying "i'm fine, it'll go away soon anyway" (half joking)
Doctors hate it! Cure your depression with this one simple trick! (may cause suicide in some cases)
Unless I'm literally bleeding out, I'd rather shoot myself in the dick than go to a doctor
But if you shot yourself in the dick, now you're bleeding out.
Jokes on you, I'm gonna I'm gonna die from alcoholism.
I've finally freed myself from my deadly vices (nicotine and alcohol) just in time to desperately need them as coping mechanisms for the living nightmare my country has become.
At least you won't die from feeblemindedness or lack of resolve.
Poor web site. We barely even knew ye.
I've spent five minutes analyzing this to see if someone's trying to do a politics
I think the Ad Council graffiti'd their own sign
Its about ignoring symptoms of serious underlying health problems. Its probably specifically referring to testicular or prostate cancer
I mean yeah I get that
But did they spray paint "no we wont" deliberately, did someone else do it as a joke, or what? Either is equally plausible
