A lot of doctors still buy into outdated myths about pain sensitivity in black patients, but as a medical mythbuster, I'm on a mission to break down these biases and make healthcare more equitable for all.

Women's pain is real!
The medical system hasn't always treated it that way.

Dentists should do better. I shouldn’t have to ‘Stop Having Autism’ to be seen as a whole person to them

Some folk can’t advocate for themselves; I’m here to never shut up on their behalf. Do fucking better, medical community

If my mom dies b/c she lost her #ACA & can’t get #Medicare b/c DRs refuse 2 fill out their time consuming forms, she won’t be able 2 afford her prescriptions.
My mom only needs prescriptions b/c #MedicalBias stopped Drs brains from working.
If my mom dies & I’m sad, I think others should be sad 2!

The long debate is an excellent watch. Here’s an example.

I may have a podcast episode coming out tomorrow, but rn I am lying awake in bed with stabbing, persistent abdominal pain bc the Dr said it was bc I am fat and did not bother to give an *actual* diagnosis! #chronicillness #womenshealth #podcast #abidinghysteria #fatphobia #medicalbias

Gender Bias In Medicine And Medical Research Is Still Putting Women’s Health At Risk It’s no secret men and women are different. It’s why we have a whole genre of books and jokes about why “men are from Mars and women are from Venus”.

Under researched & under diagnosed - why women's health is being failed by medicine

We will ask why & what we can do to compensate

need non-fat people to read this and hen read it again. YukiBean I lost 75 pounds so doctors would stop blaming everything on my weight. Itfall 3h l am 5'6, I was 210 Ibs before and am now 135. It took me a year to lose it all, but what finally pushed me to lose the weight was because every single thing I went to a doctor for, it got blamed on my weight. Severe cramps? Weight. Feeling sleepy during the day? Weight. Numbness in my fingers, headaches, memory problems, balance problems? Weight. I recently went back to my doctors, who of course applauded the weight loss and wrongly assumed all of my problems were gone. When I said no they hadn't, they immediately ordered an MRI, sleep study and lapro, which they hadn't done before the weight loss. The MRI found chiari malformation, the sleep study/physical found out I have an oversized uvula as well as Narcolepsy, and the lapro found so much endo 1 lost both of my ovaries and a portion of my colon and lower intestines. If it had been taken seriously a year ago, I might not have lost them. So yea, fuck doctors. (Obviously not all of them)

A key challenge in ADHD treatment is skepticism from doctors themselves. Users faced resistance and doubt when seeking diagnosis or refills, making an already difficult process even more frustrating and hindering proper care. #MedicalBias 3/6

6/ Example 2: ADHD is more often diagnosed in the youngest children in a class (the risk of being diagnosed is about 38% higher for the youngest child than the oldest). This overdiagnosis also means they receive more medication (28% higher risk). #ADHD #Education #MedicalBias

There’s actually been real progress around PAIS in 🇦🇹 recently.

Which makes this recent report from the mother of a severely affected adult ME/CFS patient (Bell score 5) all the more upsetting:

#MEcfs #PAIS #MedicalGaslighting #CaregiverAbuse #MedicalBias

In 🇦🇹 geht dzt. eigentlich viel voran bzgl. PAIS.

Deshalb hat mich die folgende Rückmeldung einer Mutter, die eine sehr schwer betroffene erwachsene ME/CFS-Patientin versorgt, besonders beschäftigt.

3/ Then there's the power of a dismissive label. MS was often misdiagnosed as "hysteria" in women before biomarkers like MRIs showing lesions and finding polyclonal bands, now with a twist of EBV. #ChronicFatigueSyndrome trivialized a severe illness now referred to as ME or ME/CFS. #MedicalBias
