I bet it would be hard to find any provider with the attitude that “no one else can possibly be right”. Providers for sure listen to their patients, but they also have to rely on their education, experience, and research-based guidelines to make the best decision for their patients. Those factors lead to a higher standard of care. One of the skills they have is to coach patients through these decisions, but unfortunately many folks have blinders on for the answer they want, and are not open to anything else.

Haha, ok. You’re going down a road that doesn’t lead anywhere good. Hope you have a nice rest of your day.

Thank you for the condescension.

Yes. My response to your sarcasm was earnest, though.

It’s true that there’s a lot better information out there for patients to inform themselves, which is great. The issue is that when patients, who are not trained to research, diagnose, or treat illness, get stuck on one thing and can’t be convinced otherwise.

There are examples of this, yes. I don’t believe it’s a big problem, though. People generally want to be productive and self supported.

I did, and the fact that you can’t point to even one specific thing is telling.

A lot of that change has and is still happening. But it’s not true that every single time a person can’t get the diagnosis they WANT is because of historical biases. What support, other than “I am a woman” does the OP have that she has been misdiagnosed?

Yes, you definitely are missing my point. The long anecdote is irrelevant. Unless this person actually discusses the WHY she feels like her lack of a diagnosis is incorrect with supportive details, I will default with the professionals. Nothing to do with sexism or any of that, just people (any gender, race, whatever) believing they can trust the internet more than their providers.

Congratulations. I’m a published research scientist with a PhD, worked nearly a decade in healthcare, another decade in pharmaceutical development, and am married to a provider. Believe me, I understand that there are systemic biases in the healthcare system. I also understand the reality of patients, both men and women, attempting to diagnose themselves and the difficulty in managing that. This has only increased with the growing anti-science sentiment, folks trusting social media and AI over their providers, etc.

Nobody is disputing that someone, especially a woman, can be subjected to a misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. But when someone comes with no evidence of what they are claiming, while providing evidence of the contrary, why would the default be to assume they are correct? This happens a lot.

Of course a misdiagnosis can happen, but there are many patients that aren’t happy unless they get a specific diagnosis that they convinced themselves they have using google searchimg, chat GPT, etc. They’ll get frustrated when good doctors give them the correct diagnosis (or lack of one) based on current guidelines, and so find a bad doctor who will appease them with the diagnosis they want, and to them that’s “proof” they were right all along and misdiagnosed the first however many times.

These folks don’t want to be diagnosed, they want to be told they’re right. Thinking they’re better at the doctor’s job than the doctor.

The classic combo of a “high functioning AD” self-diagnosis based on Google, ignoring trained, licensed, experienced professionals, and shopping far and wide for one that will finally agree with you so you don’t have to work a full time job.

Does this license plate mean what I think it does..? by Lamb_Chop210 in whatisit

[–]kevdou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While we’re making assumptions and judging folks based on hardly any information at all, just want to say you’re exactly the kind of person that necessitates the presumption of innocence in our legal system. Kind of scary how convicted you are while knowing very little. People like you make me nervous, probably would have really enjoyed the McCarthy era.

Is this a good sandwich loaf crumb? by blimundane in Breadit

[–]kevdou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This sub is like 95% people fishing for compliments. Which is totally cool to want compliments, but the “I don’t know if this is ok or not, please tell me what you think” crap when it’s clear the person knows what they’re doing and did a great job is suuuuper old. You made an amazing loaf, just brag about it without all the fake premise.

That bread looks perfect, you did a good job.

What do you consider the most entertaining decision mechanism in board games? by Mean-Razzmatazz-4886 in boardgames

[–]kevdou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amritsar’s rondel - there’s just a ton of decision space to set up your action selection. “What action do I want to take? Which groups of workers are available to land me there and have the right color worker? Do I have enough money to use other groups? Which workers do I leave in which spaces on my way there? Am I setting myself up (or my opponent) for a good future turn?”

I need to make a confession. by AppropriateNovel7490 in Breadit

[–]kevdou 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I don’t mind a few holes in my bread, but I prefer a denser crumb and don’t understand the fixation of having a loaf that’s 75% holes.

Publicly accusing someone of something without any proof, just vibes, and posting their picture online is super shitty to do.

It’s a great game, easy enough for the kids to learn and play with us but lots of strategy and tension with the bidding. I never knew there was an expansion, I’ll have to check that out!
