Women and healthcare providers [View all]

I will keep it short: paid 32k for tmj tx. Dentist pushed hard on my jaw week ago yesterday. I went in Thu to buzz down sharp edge and said that my ears now hurt and I'm not comfortable having pressure on my jaw. For the record, my jaw popped outta place 14 months ago.

Got tx. Everything going great. Paid big bucks but worth it! Until last week

Went in yesterday they scanned their own work and its great! I think I'm on the shitlist now for "complaining" last week. Dentist buzzed down latest jag. Then female assistant had a "talk" with me . Basically, I'm an anxious neurotic nut with phantom pain problems.

But its happening. Dentist older white guy. I see them in a month. Hope this settles down bc its gonna break me financially. Have a mild headache. I've been reduced to praying i feel so helpless and hopeless now.

I think women are treated as hysterical nuts a lot of the time vis a vis healthcare. I mean, dude wont admit if he fucked up cause that could be a lawsuit.

AND DO NOT DARE SPEAK UP BC BIG DADDY KNOWS BETTER, PAT ON HEAD CRAZY LITTLE LADY
