Girlfriend's health is constantly being dismissed.

Basically what the title says but my Girlfriend (23F) is constantly having her medical needs dismissed.

Before we met, when she was 18 she was goofing around with friends and went down a kiddie slide and messed up her back and now has chronic back pain. Well, today my girlfriend's back gave out on her while she was being down to get laundry, her dad took her to the ER (we live apart currently) and she waited 2 hours for the doctor to tell her she's lying and to get stronger core muscles. She is inconsolable rn and I have no idea what I can do because this happened while I was at work.

Additionally, a while ago she had some really bad stomach cramps and the urget care doctor's dismissed her and said it was period pain. She went to her PCP and they found SHE HAD AN INFECTION. She hates going to the doctor because no one very believes her when she's in pain and OTC medicine doesnt work well anymore. I don't know what I can do and want to figure out what I can do because we're moving in together soon.
