Why are doctors like this?
It really is crazy how many nutjobs are doctors. I remember simply asking about a vasectomy at my primary care doctor, and he said, "Not at your age (32)" and he handed me a pamphlet to a religious "counseling" group. Needless to say, I changed doctors and reported him to my insurance. I was irritated, but I can't imagine how this woman felt being denied medication to alleviate her pain and allow her to function because she might get pregnant. WTF?
I honestly somewhat hoped that doctors like this were a tiny TINY minority because of both the intellectual curiosity and empathy needed to be a good doctor would practically bar CHUDs from getting anywhere near that field.
I regret to inform you that neither curiosity nor empathy are needed to be a doctor.
You generally do need parents to bankroll your undergrad and internships, which are quite gruelling compared to many other university level employment tracks
MFW there a literal LUXURY JOBS in this hellscape, and some of them are in fields that are NECESSARY for humanity.
It may be, I don't have any data regarding this behavior, this is just my anecdotal experience. I was sharing because the kinds of people who think this way would have certainly reacted the same or worse to women. I hope she was able to find actual care, as I know from other's experience how debilitating chronic pain can be.
