Happens all the time since I crossed 40. Everything is dismissed as age related without much investigation
It's hard to run into great doctors that pay attention to their patients rather than brush them away like our voice doesn't matter because they practice medicine and we're just the patient!! I've been through this quite a few times and left an appointment crying in disbelief. Meanwhile, it makes you think you're going nuts!! It's definitely a form of narcissistic behavior on their part. Thanks God for all the wonderful doctors that pay attention and save lives..❤️
When I was 17 I started having pain in my lower stomach on the left side. I went to my doctor and he told me I was fine. The pain got worse over the months, every time I went to see my doctor he would tell me it was all "In my head" or I was "Seriously exaggerating". Eventually the pain was so bad I would vomit through out the day. One day shopping with friends I pass out and get taken to the ER. The ER did an ultrasound and found a cyst the size of a "toddlers head". I had to have emergency surgery and my ovary removed. Apparently, it wasn't "in my head" at all
I was Gaslighted by many dr's even ER dr.s. Shame it wasn't till I lost 60lbs, collapsed, n uncontrollably shaking. One ER Dr finally picked up on I had a major stomach problem. Put me in ICU. Got better. But have shaking still due to side affect.
You don't get to do the news anymore. Remind us how "everything" is Trump's fault losers! Russian Operative. You lost all credibility, and we are watching you FAIL. You would triple your viewership if you did real news like investigate lying cheating Hillary. Russian Operative. You didn't give the man a chance and said horrific and TRAITORIST lies. We won't just blow this off. Now Hunters Laptop$$$$$

Sorprendente .
i lost all faith in the medical community when they repeatedly failed to diagnose my condition. they just want to keep logging the office visits 300 bucks a visit and give no real answers. just a business like any other. ps i’m a white dude so it happens to everyone
It’s your Karma.😇
Military Industrial complex is a successful business model, if you work for them. So is Medical Industrial complex.
Now there will be patients are crying in every type of “collateral damage”.
Karen: I think my package got cancer.
Operator #10: Now whose fault is that, you shoulda come earlier.
Jim Bob: Why don’t you go and put some goat fat on yo face 😂
Karen’s Husband: Ma daddy is with the police and we are going to “tag you you “ in the FBI wanted list, and wee gonna finish you wheeen yew travel 🤬
Sad they will stick together.So becareful Dr nurses they do have each other backs.
Stop it! It's not a color thing. It's not gas lighting either. It's called having a "BAD" Doctor! Our Healthcare system is worse than our Court System. That's pretty bad.🙄
What’s happening is to patients is like American Foreign Policy.
Guess self righteous Brand.on people got no clue, its going to make their people look more *desperate* , If they start to impose punitive sanctions on the family members of the Vaccination Czars (Russians) and bully their kids at school.
Operator #10: Pay yo dang bills.
Operator #10: Save the Drama for yo Momma 😎
Karen: Excuse Me ? 😱
Karen: “You people” cant be working for the Health Care “Company” 😢🤬
I feel like if Dr. can’t diagnose you then why should I get paid true facts wasting people money and time health care cost to much to getting the wrong Answer. Why the doctor may be getting paid good and some poor person comes for help but can’t afford the cost to keep going around and around with doctors intell the get right. Racking up the bill is not cool Especially for the poor. But I can say this most doctor have a lot of of patients meaning the don’t have time the got to get to next patient this could be the Reason why they’re pushing you out the door get bad Results.
Happens in Toronto CA too.
Yikes.
Vote to get rid of Biden, AOC and the Squad in the next election 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙👍👍👍..Let's Go Brandon!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
WEAK REPORT again from ABC News.
Karen: I got a bill, not a dollar bill 😉
Operator #10: Pay yo dang bills or we shuut yu uup.
Karen: I like to speak to your manager🤬
Operator #10: She’s gonna tell you the same dang thing. So pay yo bills.😎Thug Life.
And most don't understand this is a HUGE reason a second opinion is the best thing to do….
Several years ago I had to point out a lesion on my face to 5 different drs before the last one finally did a biopsy. Yeah, it was cancer.
Pay your bills or we shut yo uup

😂😂😂
If FemiNazis believe Women are
superiorby evolutionWhy cry for more health aid like Ukraine is crying for -our tax dollars as AID
Besides the more you sanction Healthcare Czars,
the more defensive doctors are going to get 😋
America is the bastion of Democrazy.
According to mainstream media😋Still in their rural communities women have less access to health and their infant mortality is worse than 4th world. You going to BLAME it on Dr. Willie Robinson ?
Not long ago I saw an article about women having the coil implanted to prevent pregnancy. It said that a LOT of women were surprised it was so painful after being told it wouldn’t be.
It showed a tool, I think it was for opening up the cervix to put it in the womb. It had spikes on it that caused a lot of pain. Painful to the point of women sobbing and begging the medical people to stop.
I’m hazy about the exact details of it, but I’m sure it would come up in a search engine. If I try to leave a link to it YouTube doesn’t like that 🤷🏼♀️
What is the solution for Medical gaslighting ?
Its like Twitter ban if you don’t comply with the Vaccination Czars. And there in LIES the solution.
Thee hee hee.. This is the Karma of Misinformation War. 😋
The People think they are Americans and the doctors are Russians
The Doctors think they are Americans and the people are Russians.
It has happened too me over & over.
Please check out the Reference Man segment by Sam Bee
Such an important topic, great information provided. Thanks to the nurse, to Dr. Simone Wildes, and to ABC News!
"Millions of Americans affected by 'medical gaslighting' every year" so let's #ConvinceItForward
This has been happening to me for over 25 years. I’m now disabled because of it.
And in rural communities, women increasingly have lack of access to care.
Another white male hit job
Got to love how the media just keep "gaslighting" us with these "studies". We've all dealt with horrible health care regardless of gender and race, especially if you have cheap, or no insurance. To all the people who want "free healthcare for all" this is the type of treatment you'll get.
Yup! Happened.
Unfortunately gaslighting DOES happen way too often.
When my baby was born, he did not pass his hearing test. After discharge, two days later, we went back to get the hearing test and he still didn’t pass.
We were told to go see the ENT. Again, a hearing test was done and he failed again.
When we met with the dr, he told us to be prepare to have a child who is deaf.
I was flustered and began to ask all sorts of questions only to be made and feel that I was stupid and I was waging his time. I mean, I don’t know anyone who is deaf so I don’t know how to take care of someone who is deaf.
I left the appointment defeated. Months later, I was contacted by a state nurse who encouraged me to see the ENT at a different facility and guess what…. My baby failed all those hearing tests bcus he had fluid in his ear.
How is one ENt doctor able to figure this out on our first appointment while the other ENT doctor told us to prepare for the worst.

Had thyroid out because Dr didn't tell me to go to an endocrinologist. Went to him every month, never gave me thyroid meds every month. 18 months later had a thyroidectomy. My life hasn't been the same as he wasn't hearing me tell him I have tremors like a 90 yr old, heart palpitations and anxiety with complete exhaustion. Dr. said I should see a therapist for anxiety, I told him I researched I have hyperthyroidism. 2 yrs I suffered with insomnia, choking in my sleep, still no help with that. Ended up last month, get an endocrinologist he said you have hyperthyroidism and he lowered my dose to 60 MG. I was on 175 MG. 125 MG. 90 MG. now 60 as no one 3rd Dr listened because hyper after removing the thyroid is rare. I was dropping weight so rapidly, because my heart never stopped racing, (thyroid med was so high)but I have brain injury and I am allergic (opposite reaction) so I don't trust Dr's as they DON'T HEAR ME! Been sick over 20 years.
OH yea. Once you take the shot, your doctor drops your ass like a hot potato if you have any ill effects from it. Dont call us, well call you buddeh.
I’m pretty sure Black FBA women are impacted most. We are not “people of color.” Idk why you insist on forcing this phrase on us. I am gaslit still least twice a year. With that being said, I’m glad this is being reported, again. Now, we just need to report of legal gaslighting by hired attorneys.
I literally had a gynecologist scream at me on the exam table that where I was showing him my pain was was not what I said on the phone. I had already had 2 surgeries for endometriosis and was in severe pain because he had moved my appointment twice and I had to wait two and half weeks to see him. I didn’t see him again and also just quit telling them I was in pain. I was having ovarian cysts and just dealing with them. One was so bad I woke up crying from a dream of having a baby but it was the cyst rupturing. Also have arthritis and another doctors only option was cymbal take, an antidepressant that made me into a drooling zombie. Tried another doctor, first words outta their mouth when I told them I was having extreme shoulder pain was,you guessed it: “ We don’t prescribe pain pills”. I answered right back that I didn’t want any I just wanted to know what doctor to go to. Ended up having shoulder surgery for that one. I think the main reason for this is the DEA’s misunderstanding the CDC’s “guidelines for pain medication. They didn’t take into consideration that there are ppl who live in pain everyday and their medicine is being taken away, and they are either not living a life now or killing themselves. The pain news network is a great place to get news on this subject.
SOOOOOOOO VERY thankful this is FINALLY being addressed because ive dealt with medical issues since I was a very young adult & my symptoms went misdiagnosed as being "in my head" or stress related" for 8yrs until I was FINALLY diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, premature menopause, osteoporosis & then Thyroid Cancer….probably from ALL of the WRONG mental medications+other unnecessary meds I DIDN'T TRULY need🤯😭 ! & NOWWW I have a true phobia of Drs, hospitalizations, etc… that I'd rather live in agony than risk being gaslight EVER AGAIN!
Americans used the Canadian system of medicare as a good example of a country providing medicare for all.
But having the government pay doctors and dentists results in people, usually immigrants, coming to take
advantage of the system. O.D.S.P. recipients, a bigger form of welfare for people who can't live independent
lives through birth or addiction, receive free dental care. Some dentists use fillings that last less than a year,
knowing their patient can come back for "free" renewals. Some insist on new x-rays time after time, when
previous x-rays could have been used, and that's expensive.
