    I have a cousin who was so gaslit by doctors about her endometriosis that she started to believe she was delirious and hypochondriac. She was completely resigned to the fact that she would have to live in excruciating "phantom" pain forever. I was so worried about her that I researched and booked an appointment with a female gynaecologist two states over. Her reviews said she's a sweetheart who actually listens to her patients. A few examinations later, she was diagnosed. I'd never seen someone cry so much in my life. Having her pain validated and being told she wasn't crazy was much more important to my cousin than actually having the pain treated.

      Both my mother and grandmother had endometriosis. I've been fighting with my GYN for over two years about pain I'm feeling. They put me on birth control that doesn't fully stop the bleeding and are totally okay with the fact that I've bled every day since October 2021. They keep telling me it's digestive issues so now I'm getting a colonoscopy here in February. Even though the pain is in a very specific, not-my-intestines spot.

      From what I understand, they're actually is a lot of missing information on medical science in regards to women.
      For a very long time medical science was done basically by men, on men, and for men. It was just kind of assumed that whatever worked on men also worked on women, which led to a lot of things that have sex based variations (such as autism or reactions to certain medications) or exclusively happen in the female sex to be understudied.
      On top of that, a lot of societal biases tend to still exists within the medical field, so old stereotypes about women still persist even if they are objectively not scientifically validated. It's also why people of color are also still mistreated by the healthcare system even when race is pseudoscience is no longer part of official practice.

      Funny enough I have experienced something similar but as a woman who happens to be trans. When I looked like a boy people took me more seriously. Now that I look and sound like a normal woman even to doctors, I am unironically put down more for saying the same things I used to say, and taken significantly less seriously when I try to be serious. People take me more serious about some stuff like in relationships. I found out Like some people fr treat women with less respect and believe it. Very hard to explain and very frustrating to experience. It can even be dangerous for women. I personally was in a relationship with a guy who saw women as mentally inferior including me and treated me accordingly including physically and I’m small. I’m out now but the experience messed me up, I have a fear of angry men now where I literally shake in fear. It took me a long time to get help because people wouldn’t listen to me when I tried to explain, I would literally get blamed for getting r-worded unironically for dressing too nice at night and “asking for it” literally, I thought people only said that kinda stuff in movies. I ranted a bit but moral is it’s very very real and very very dangerous and applies to more than just doctors. Women deserve more societal respect imo.

    I got my first period at age 11 and it was a nightmare ever since. Cramping so bad that I would sometimes shake, sweat, then pass out. So much blood loss that I spent decades anemic. Then in my mid-30s I began bleeding continuously. As in having my period all day every day for THREE YEARS. It was so hard getting anyone to actually listen. It wasn't until I began hemorrhaging about once a week that I was finally referred to a specialist. He did a hysteroscopy and immediately recommended a hysterectomy. Within 6 months I had it done and oh hey look endo absolutely EVERYWHERE. The only things that were clear were my ovaries so yay no early menopause but it's ridiculous that it took 25 years of complaints and literally almost dying due to severe blood loss for anyone to take me seriously. Doctors want to blame every woman's complaint on our period but then when it's actually a problem with our period we're ignored.

      I think the reason is the issue has to be rather large or highly noticeable for doctors to notice. Women tend to report every little thing and get seen as emotional. While men would usually rather die then go to the hospital so usually by the time we go in the issue is loud and highly noticeable which is why we are more believed by the doctors. Its just how it is. My issue is the period is treated as an all purpose solution to any medical solution so instead of trying to find the problem it is just the magical period acting up.

      I have multiple herniated cervical discs in my neck as a result of a car accident. Three years after the accident, I semi blacked out before work one morning. I was carrying a bag of decorations to my car to bring to my office. Ended up going to the Emergency room by ambulance.
      At the ER, the attending doctor refused to do any medical tests. Outright refused. I explained to him that the blackout episode was "so far out of the realm of normal for me" and that something was wrong. I had very good insurance, btw. He told me if I didn't leave his ER, he'd have me arrested...
      The following day, I saw a doctor who came recommended and an MRI was ordered. Come to find out, the herniation in my neck was so bad that one of the discs was pressing against my Vegas Nerve causing me to have blackout episodes.

      I have told my gynecologist that my periods are genuinely terrible for me and she never did anything about it.

      Ever since I stopped taking the pill my periods have been weird though. Usually get them one/two weeks later than before (which before were 1/2 days difference usually) and when getting close to them randomly feel quite bad cramps (luckily not for long) for about a week. My periods also seem to be lighter and the bad period cramps now start one day before and the first day and then are okish the second (was first and second day before). Sadly still need to take usually 2 painkillers the days with bad pain, which from one I have been getting side effects and try to avoid taking.

      I was taught to treat a gun like it’s always loaded. Don’t care if you just emptied it yourself, always treat it like it’s loaded. Never, ever point it at something that you aren’t trying to kill. That is a gun’s purpose. It is a tool for killing. Not a toy, not an accessory. I am from a kinda backwoods area, and when I was a kid my family’s hunting helped put food on the table. As did fishing, berry picking, etc… Which, when your income is meager, certainly helps.
      The firearms were always stored away, empty, and with a safety lock through the chamber. But, I was taught, it’s still loaded. Store it empty and locked, but always handle it as if it were loaded.
      I’m just repeating myself at this point, but so many accidental shootings are completely preventable and that’s absolutely tragic.
      So for anyone who reads this, if you’re ever in the vicinity of a firearm please remember, and if needed remind others- (even the experienced, we can all get a little lax about safety from time to time)

      Similar thing happened to my father who was put on all sorts of weird diets to aid his gut problems. After a couple of years of this, he took the scans the doctors were using to diagnose his ‘irritable bowel’ to a doctor in another city. That doctor put him in hospital immediately- didn’t even go home to get clothes- and operated the next day on his (by then) advanced bowel cancer. We all make mistakes at work but unfortunately doctors’ mistakes can lead to early death.

    Not an autopsy, but during my third year medical training. Observing a hip replacement. We all filed into the OR, couldn't see a patient because s/he was completely draped. The surgeon talked us through what he was doing and why; sawing, hammering, metal ball etc. And then he undraped the leg and began manipulating the limp to show us how it moves - up down this way that, like a piston. One word describes what happened next: Dominoes. All six students, including me, fainted in a heap. So dignified.

    I suffered from abdominal pain from the age of 17, but I wasn’t diagnosed with endometriosis until I was 28. I had my hysterectomy at 30. And I have been diagnosed with a number of other chronic medical conditions since then. When I was 17, my doctor said that they could do exploratory surgery to see if there was something wrong, but it didn’t happen. I specifically asked if I would be able to have children, & he said yes. That was not true. I had suspected that I couldn’t get pregnant since my late teens. So I did warn my husband before we got married. I’m glad I was able to do that so there weren’t any surprises about that.

When the doctor came in to talk to me after my surgery, he looked incredibly apprehensive and for a split second, I thought I might have cancer or something. But he told me that I had one of the worst cases of endometriosis that he had ever seen and that he couldn't believe I was just walking around like a normal person. He removed as much as he could and I am now on medication that may or may not control it. However, my mental state has drastically improved since he removed it.

    related to the first story somewhat. my mom had been complaining to her doctor for upwards of 10 years. She's in pain, her throat feels bad, she needs help. Doctor would up her pain meds until he felt he couldn't safely increase the dosage anymore. All the while, he and my dad were joking about women and their pain tolerance or whatever. Turns out she had a cancer node. It had grown to the point of physically protruding into her airway, and we found out because she was slowly losing her ability to speak and breathe with ease, so we went to the ER. She needed 3+ separate teams of doctors and specialists to make sure they could safely remove it. She refuses to go after the shitty family doctor for malpractice because her condition was described as "so rare there's only been 10 cases like it worldwide", so she feels it would be unfair to blame the doctor for not catching such a "rare" anomaly.

Turns out the pregnancy hormones triggered some spine cancer, her spine was almost disintegrated by the time she gave birth, she had to leave the hospital in a back brace in case it gave out. She only lived a couple months it was so sad.

    He didn't even hesitate to tell me he thought I had endometriosis and scheduled exploratory surgery (the only way to confirm beyond doubt). He was spot on. I had a reasonably bad case. He removed as much of the scar tissue as he could and I was able to become pregnant.

    A few things: 1) If you are choking and you are alone, you can try to heimlich yourself by either using your fist slightly above your belly button, or hitting that same spot against the back of a chair or a table. If none of that is working, go outside! Someone might see you while you are choking and be able to assist or, at the very least, it will be more likely someone will see your body after you lose consciousness. 2) Don't just register to be an organ donor, register to be a bone marrow donor. It's super easy to register, the receiving family/their insurance pays your bills if you're a match, most of the time it's a really simple procedure where you don't even have to travel, and it's a donation you can make while you're still alive that can seriously save someone's life. 3) Donating your body to science can also mean donating your body to pharmaceutical companies, still science and important, but also for profit, so just something to think about when making your decisions. 4) it is incredibly common that any pain women experienced is downplayed or "all in their head" and it is very frustrating as well as detrimental to women's health.

Two ER visits for a compacted bowel. Sent home from work/school for blood lose during periods. Lots of talking to doctors- no one would take me seriously and it was repetitively told to me that I just need to drink more water and eat more fiber or that it's just cramps. That it's from stress. ect ect. I'd talked to GI doctors and No One Would Take me seriously.
    Now I transitioned to male in 2011. I mean I started hormones so it shuts all that shit down for most trans-men, as far as periods go. But I'd still get break through periods and cramps that were so bad, and I literally had enough testosterone in my blood as much as a non-trans dude. It didn't make sense.
    Eventually someone came up in my blood work and my pcp wanted get a ultra sound of my uterus, she claimed my levels were weird and she wanted to make sure things were okay. I didn't tell her I'd be lazy with my hormone injections because FINALLY I was having someone look inside me again. The ultra sound and later MRI showed what they thought was a fibroid - my gyno and I talk (yes, I go to one. If you're a trans dude I don't give a single remote fuck how dysphoric it might make you you NEED to get your uterus checked out ever so often. Period.. haha pun.) Anyway the Gyno and I talked about just yeeting the whole thing out and that'd take of the fibroids, oh, and endometriosis because the mri showed I had it. ... As I tried telling people I think I did have it. ANYWAY. wheee.
    So, the big baby machine eviction day- they go in. They wake me up and abort the surgery. It isn't a fibroid. it was a tumor the size of a grapefruit on my rectum and THAT'S why I couldn't go number 2. The word rectal cancer was thrown around for a few weeks before they could do more tests, and after everything was all in the clear. Nearly two months after the originally surgery - everything but the ovaries* was removed and tumor removed. The tumor benign- nearly 3 months post surgery and I'm having very little bathroom issues and the dull gut pain from the endometriosis is gone. My innards haven't felt this great since I was 13 before I got my period. Holy Shit.
    None Of This Would Have Been Found if I hadn't transitioning into male.. those blood tests wouldn't have been done. No one would have discovered it. Gods only knows how long that thing was festering in there.

Anyway- tldr; my gyno had to use the transition code for it because my insurance denied it for the endo-scar tissue agony reasons. But they approved it as *finger quotes in air while eye rolling* 'part of my transition'. This is my own private insurance - not state. Which was annoying, because at the end of the day NONE of this had to do with my transition, rather my innards trying to assassinate me. But since I at that point was well past my delectable for my insurance - it was all covered. Its just so disgusting how sexist the medical industry is at times. As if women, or people like me, don't have enough agency over our own bodies. And the hoops we have to go through just to be heard.

    I agree with the story about finding multiple sources of potential causes of death that were unrelated to the actual cause of death. Our gross anatomy cadaver died of congestive heart failure secondary to COPD while in her 70s. We found marble to ping pong size tumors throughout her reproductive organs & one kidney. Nothing was noted in her chart in regard to the tumors or any associated symptoms she would have had suffered from, likely for many years, prior to her death. It was noted that she had significant edema prior to death but it was attributed to COPD & CHF. That meant she would not have received scans or ultrasounds of that area, as they would have been readily visible.
    She also had fascinating hands and forearms to study. Our instructor theorized that she had a profession that required fine motor skills due to the extra muscles & tendons connected to basically her thumb, pointer, & middle fingers (to make a pincer movement & also to close the hand into a fist). Both left and right hands/forearms had these extra parts but were each unique, so while each hand needed fine motor skills they likely performed independent movements concurrently- as in one hand performed one function while the other assisted in the process. He said he had seen it a few times but it was rare. He theorized she could have even been a surgeon.
    FYI, for future gross anatomy students, one thing I did not know to prepare myself for was seeing my cadavers toenails painted. I’m not sure if all teaching institutions would have left the toenails painted or not but we were not prepared to see that & it gave us all pause. We began our dissections with our cadaver prone & that helped us to reframe our thoughts to allow us to learn from her while also respecting her & appreciating her for donating her body to help us learn.

    The Endo stuff isn’t really getting better. Mine was so bad I would vomit uncontrollably on the first day of bleeding, that went on from age 14 until age 37 in 2010 when I was finally able to get my tubes tied. She was amazed by the amount of endometriosis tissue That was floating around inside my abdomen. She removed it, but it grew back eventually. But that was how I finally got a diagnosis. I think I had an ultrasound at one point but nothing showed up. Maybe 10 years before that I had an abdominal CT scan and I was told I had non-alcoholic fatty liver, since then I’ve been rescanned and it’s totally fine so I believe what they were looking at was endometriosis tissue that my surgeon had burned out since.

But it was GERDS that killed him, he became unwilling and unable to eat or swallow. He wasted away and official cause of death was starvation. I wish they could have accepted my dad’s body, my father’s death was deeply traumatic, and I wish that students could have learned whatever lessons his body had left to teach because I would not wish my father’s death on anyone. To me that is the biggest reason to donate, so that perhaps future doctors will have more solutions and save other families from the devastating last couple of years that he and we went through. On another related note it should be legal in every state to be allowed assisted suicide as an option for hospice. Wasting away is a hideous way to go.

I have horrible cramps and have bleeding that's caused me to go to the hospital from becoming anemic and bleeding more blood than I had for periods. I've had cramps last for upwards of 24 hours and the pain is worse than when I broke my ribs. Yet my doctors think I'm being over dramatic and think I'm just in their own words "experiencing what it's like being a woman". Pisses me off since I haven't gotten anything but some birth control that barely helps me.
    Also yes, I've tried to go to other doctors but I'm currently I don't have the money to hop doctors and my parents don't have the time or ability to change doctors so I'm taking what I got here. I'm just glad I have something to help as the pain does get unbearable. Still though, hate that I have to stay with a doctor who thinks bleeding half of their body weight is normal.

    I've got a similar story to the woman who got shot. I looked after this real cool old guy, you know full of stories about his interesting life but some seemed far fetched. Well, anyway we had a Chinese man come in and he only spoke a tiny bit of English and had dementia so communication got really difficult at times. The guy started translating for us and a few days later I asked him how he spoke Chinese. Turns out he was a polyglot and it seemed he was VERY gifted in that regard (he could speak like 8 or 9 languages) and said that during WWII he did some "bad things that he was ashamed of that he shouldn't really talk about" as part of his military career. Anyway this guy had been complaining about pain in his elbow since his admission but said he knew what it was but in my opinion the pain was getting worse as time went on, his pain relief had been increasing steadily and he was finding moving the arm visibly more difficult. I took him aside and privately asked him what it was, we had become quite friendly by that point and I figured it would be something he'd be too embarrassed to talk about with female nurses and he told me he'd been shot. Now, bare in mind this guy had had a stroke and was pretty old so my mind immediately thought he was maybe having some sort of episode or was confused but I was still concerned about the pain so an x-ray was ordered which came back showing an object in his elbow. Obviously this was a problem so I asked him privately again why he thought he had been shot because there was definitely something there and as it went, his ability with languages had landed him in some sort of black ops or spy unit during the war, he didn't think he could go into detail because he wasn't sure how secret it still was. Everything was going fine until he made a mistake and spoke the wrong language which prompted a German to try to arrest him but he knew he couldn't afford to be captured so he grabbed at the gun to escape. In the scuffle his hand had been over the barrel of the gun and it discharged firing the bullet through his wrist and finally lodging in his ulnar. He couldn't get actual medical help immediately because he had been found out and knew he would probably be executed so he fled the country until he hit a British patrol and got patched up. The dude was completely honest, turns out it was a bullet in his elbow, the increased pain came from laying on the elbow for longer than usual from his reduced mobility and he likely had increased sensitivity as his stroke was resolving. Turns out that the friendly, unassuming little old man had actually been a badass soldier in his day and probably had a higher kill count than the average COD player.
    In that same hospital a man had carried out the same suicide method as the steel wire too. He had worked on the hospital whilst it was being built and his life sort of fell apart leaving him homeless, I don't know all of the details on it but he ended up living in the hospital sneaking onto wards and using empty rooms to shower. Some staff kind of knew about it and turned a blind eye because he wasn't causing problems and they would sneak food to him when it was available. The guy just hit his breaking point, went to the top floor and used steel building wire to make a noose (it's assumed he didn't know it would be so harsh) and jumped falling about 50 feet post decapitation. The wildest part, we were told we HAD to try to save his life until he could be verified despite the fact that he had fallen far enough to liquify his organs and his head being a good 15 feet away from his neck. No, I didn't waste my time with attempting chest compressions and it still makes me angry that a faceless hospital director thought doing that to a decapitated man in a busy lobby with children around thought it would be reasonable.
