This infuriates me! Came across this on another website.
"I was 20 and in a car crash and my doctor told me to take narcotics and get married because my back was never going to recover from multiple burst discs so just pop Vicodin and become a stay at home mom.
I'm only in my early 30s, now. I had a doctor advise I should get a husband and stay home with my kids to 'take it easy.' Because pregnancy and toddlers are famously good for low back pain, after all.
I have since gone skydiving, whitewater kayaking, hiking, backpacking, backpacked to Machu Picchu, jumped off cliffs into water, jumped off waterfalls and off 3rd story balconies into the snow."
Geeze where are they getting those doctors? The 1950s?
Have you ever experienced such attitudes like that from doctors and/or patients?
Guess I'm just lucky. When I meet someone that is an unprofessional *** I don't see some veiled 'homophobe', sexist, or racist. I just see an unprofessional *** and I let him or her know it. Saves a lot of guessing...
