Today I spoke to a coworker who had bad experiences with doctors and was seeking recommendations for a new one, then other coworkers chimed in, and so I decided to ask you guys as well. Well, not for a doctor recommendation, but about your bad experienced with doctors?

I’m gonna spoiler mine, because it makes me very uncomfortable, so perhaps it may make someone else very uncomfortable.

uncomfortable

I had a doctor who had no business in it make me show my intimate parts (I’m intersex) and she touched them. She was curious, I guess…? She’s a psychiatrist, so, again, literally 0 business doing so. I already have trauma from regular people who treat me like a circus display, I really had no need for someone with systemic power over me using it like that…

No, I didn’t report this. I was a teenager and barely functioning at the time. :/

      I’m so sorry you went through it. I had a doctor accuse me of taking a medication I don’t have to change my blood test results. He still believes I lied. We are waiting on another test result. He suggested I should see another doctor. I don’t even smoke, don’t drink, don’t do drugs, how the fuck would I get a medication to mess with my blood results?

      Glad someone finally figured out what’s the cause of your issue! <3
