    It’s insane, isn’t it? Especially when it comes from a fellow woman.

    I had a pre-syncope and could barely get out of bed for a week and a half. When I told my doctor I’m worried about it reoccurring because I don’t know the cause of it, she just smiled and said that’s something that would be hard to diagnose and that I shouldn’t live in fear. And I’m like ??? Your job is literally to diagnose. I also have a few chronic illnesses, so I tend to feel up and down. She straight up told me it’s just anxiety and I should be grateful I don’t have any serious illnesses.

    Unfortunately, she’s not the only one like that. Just recently I had a doctor tell me such nonsense that’s debunked with a 2 second internet search that I questioned whether he got his license off Temu.

    Too many misogynists and narcissists in the field.
