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. :/
My workplace has some as customers…I cringe everytime I see behind the counter…
Edit: Solely by the story I guessed the country and checked your profile for confirmation. Suspicion was quickly confirmed.
My Mother was on that whole trip for a long time, she still has some around but now admits and recognizes that the most you’ll get out of those damn pills is a placebo effect (ideal for children with minor woes like a scratched knee)
Was one hell of a ride getting her to that point though
For people who don’t want to look up the profile themselves: The Netherlands (unless I’ve read wrong).
Edit: I was wrong. Look below!
Not quite. More like DACH region than NL.
The whole homeopathy and “globuli” debate is a big think around DE since the health insurance companies finance the whole fake sugar pill shit.
Yes, you read the right: The health insurance, paid by tax dollar and insurance fees, finance this stuff.
Ah, pardon me, thank you for clarifying! I moved to Germany not that long ago and was advised to amend my insurance to opt out from homeopathy and I did so before seeing any doctors. ^ ^’
