You are a warrior my friend 🧡

I did try, they were like ‘we don’t have anything here’ and then it was down to ‘soo do you want to keep this appointment or try again next month?’ And I had a sitter with the kid and had taken off work so I sucked it up. Like they always expect you to. The next time I went so far as to talk to another Dr in the practice but I kept being told over and over it wasn’t done and isn’t necessary. Definitely check out the podcast ‘the retrievals’ to learn more about how women’s pain is treated in ob/gyn

Personally I’ve had numerous cervical biopsies (as in they cut chunks out of you with the devil’s scissors) and the standard of care is no numbing agent or pain medication of any kind. The dr said to give a yell if I was going to faint bc that happens a lot. I asked why I couldn’t have something and they were like, ‘dunno. We just don’t do that’

There was a documented case of a nurse stealing pain medication and injecting women with saline to cover for it and it took years for her to be caught because no one believed the women who said they were in pain. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/podcasts/serial-the-retrievals-yale-fertility-clinic.html&ved=2ahUKEwi1n93Yip2FAxWONlkFHStzA7wQFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw23_e6wsBLQ7jybQBvuJOvI
