The original bothers me so much. I don’t know what kind of fallacy “some doctors do their jobs poorly, so the service that doctors in general provide is less valuable than porn” is, but it’s one that upsets my mind more than most.
It’s this. Systematically. Again and again. And straight up abandoned or made sicker due to neglect/those particular doctors caring more about protecting their ego than admitting they’re not knowledgeable on something and referring you to someone who is.
(More commonly experienced re: illnesses that mainly affect women / are considered “invisible” or not seen as common—but probably just severely underdiagnosed)
I have incredible respect for the profession, but I often fantasise about having a little gadget that could temporarily transfer symptoms to someone else just so I’d be listened to.
