What is wrong with doctors?

I just read this dailymail.co.uk/health/arti...

How the hell does this even happen? I am lost for words. Poor girl.

That’s horrendous, poor girl, anyone can tell that her stomach isn’t “normal” x

I’m not surprised though. When women have unspecific health complaints they are often disregarded. I had it happen to me too - from when I went to the doc and eventually had my surgery one year had passed.

And I changed docs 4 times if I remember correctly. My symptoms were brushed off as stress, low emotional intelligence, vitamin deficiency etc. I was recommended to do yoga (for an endometrioma) when I could barely stretch myself in the morning without feeling like I was being stabbed.

But this girl in the article, it was so obvious that something’s seriously off and yet she was ignored.

Absolutely appalling. In this country with all the technology how on earth could they not tell that was not a pregnancy! I hope they fix her up after she’s had that removed, poor girl her body must have been under so much strain. X

Couldn’t believe this when I read it the other day.

I think it was this part: “Ms Favell told how her GP insisted she must be pregnant, despite her blood tests having ruled out looming parenthood.”

She MUST be pregnant! I’m speechless!

I could’ve choked when I read it!
