I can definitely confirm that, as a woman, I have been under-treated for multiple, incurable, very painful diseases. In fact, my latest quack waited a full week before refilling 30 T-4 which I desperately need for the pain of the Crohn's as well as it's diarrhea, even though I have not escalated my usage, and the amount he prescribes is totally inadequate. Meanwhile, my pain escalated and I began bleeding internally, then finally collapsed, hitting my head in two places (on the floor and against the foot of the bed), sustaining a concussion.
My daughter called the doctor's office (from Spokane) and read them the riot act, informing them that if they did not take care of the situation immediately, she would be down here on the next flight, accompanied by an attorney!
I'm already in the process of researching medical malpractice, and will be seeing a medical malpractice attorney for consultation. I'm tired of being abused, ignored, treated poorly, wrongly, and dangerously (the quack insisted I remain on Zoloft, even though it was making me suicidal!).
My partner is worried about repercussions, but I told him that this situation is akin to a woman not reporting rape, thus leaving the rapist to remain free and raping more. Well, I'm completely sick and tired of being medically raped and it has to stop. I *know* what decent, compassionate medical care consists of, having grown up with a doctor, and working with doctors all of my life (good and bad). What I'm getting here is solid waste.

When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Usually,that individual is crazy.
