What’s PCOS? And we need laws to make doctors actually do their freaking jobs. I mean its not the middle ages, we have the tools to diagnose people properly.
It’s the hospital administration and insurance companies that are the issue, not the doctors themselves per se who are responding to insurance denials and impossible hours and scheduling.
I want to emphasize that insurance does not function to GRANT healthcare but to DENY it. Doctors grant healthcare as providers. When they prescribe it, they’ve granted it. Then insurance steps in and says, “wait a minute.” Their only function is to deny medical care. Not pay for it - the patient does that through premiums etc. To deny it. So why do we need a healthcare DENIAL system?
The answer for why corporations need private insurance denials, is because of Hot Coffee, Bleeding Edge, Erin Brokovich - we could class action sue over the bad and contaminated products companies sell us, because it would be able to be detected. Flint, MI, was caught by testing a kid on Medicare - because they have access to healthcare. The FDA, USDA, etc should actually pay for Medicare for all to GUARANTEE their work in making sure products are safe imo. Why should I have to pay for the government’s failure to do their job? They should guarantee it and track it so they can do their jobs.
But corporations would lose money so they lobby against it. Gotta sell us that asbestos and lead somehow.
That the biggest thing that pisses me off the most. I am studying to get my insurance license. And the classes they talk big how great insurance is, because at its core it is supposed to a transfer of risk. That all the job of insurance, only reason it exists is for them to protect you in case of a loss. Yet we pay for health insurance and all they do is use our money to find ways not to cover us. Bullshit and I wish we could put a stop to it and offer universal healthcare.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Essentially, my uterus started making little cysts for fun and also my testosterone went way tf up and bad things that accompany high testosterone happened so I didn’t have my period for six months. The male doctor said “oh you’re just pregnant, get some bloodwork to confirm, and also you need to start taking prenatal vitamins” despite the fact that I had taken multiple pregnancy tests that were negative and hadn’t had unprotected sex in that time period.
Fun fact: PCOS affects an estimated 6–13% of women of reproductive age, and up to 70% of cases are undiagnosed. (WHO)
That’s crazy, thank you for sharing. I have issues with doctors not wanting to anything for my issues too. And I am a male. I swear we need better Healthcare. Hard enough being in a country with shit healthcare, but when we do go to a doctors they push all our concerns aside and think we are just wasting their time.
