It’s fucking ridiculous. Thank god I work in the medical field and have a slight upper hand and correctly advocating for myself. It’s a nightmare

Yes thank God you do.
In my conversations with our midwife, I've come to realize that a lot of healthcare for women has basically been the functional equivalent of some guy throwing his arms up in the air in exasperation saying "Fuck it, I don't know, cut it off maybe!?"
There's a long way to go but there are those of us who listen at least long enough to know when to step aside and when to take appropriate action.
My wife and I try our best and I try to be as supportive and reasonable as possible for her when she needs that.
Well thank God for that!
There’s a general lack of research for a lot of these issues too and funding despite the prevalence. 1/10 women have what I have and like 0.02% of doctors even know what to do with it
Yeah that's what the Midwife said as well.
I've thought about interviewing her and maybe some others and doing a bit of a documentary about it but I've never started that project.
