I reported my doctor
I’ve endured endless misogyny, slut shaming, unnecessary testing and belittling for years. I can’t do it anymore.
I have been on a wait list for ultrasound results for 5 months and my phone appointment was today (I only got this appointment bc I spent almost an hour convincing them to help, otherwise I was looking at waiting over a year). I haven’t stopped crying.
The doctor discharged me from gynaecology despite me begging (this was my second appointment, I was on the wait list for 3 years). She told me my surgeon botched me and I had no one to blame but myself for not having enough ‘common sense’ to choose a good surgeon (it was an NHS surgeon I had no choice). refused to do any investigation into my weight loss post surgery (TW, my bmi is currently 16.3 + I’m 88 lbs, I was 125lbs before) and claimed it was not her problem. She refused to consider setting me up with a multidisciplinary team. She refused any investigation and told me to take my concerns to my GP.
And the cherry on top was when I told her I’m scared I’m going to die she laughed. I began to cry at the end of my appointment, she laughed and ended the call. I decided to immediately make a complaint against her. I’ve never done this before but every appointment is traumatising me and fuck me I’ve got thick skin.
I’m sick to death of this. We shouldn’t feel petrified of the people who are meant to help us. I’m reporting every single doctor that does this shit from now on, I’m not claiming anything will come from it but I’ve got to stick up for myself somehow.
