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. :/

No matter how many stories like yours and your friends (which sounds very similar to mine) I hear, it never gets les enraging that we’re just left to not only suffer at the time, but for the rest of our lives in many cases, because some doctor values their ego over their patients.
But yeah, it’s always nice to find people who know what you’ve been through, even if both (all) wish they hadn’t… 💜
