If you’d actually read the article instead of jumping straight from the headline to the funny quip you thought of:
Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.
This doesn’t sound like a discrimination thing; she literally described a cough that went away days ago and an anxiety she was feeling.
So out of curiosity because I shit on MAGA for this all the time. This is a special interest story trying to make us feel a certain way isn’t it? It’s not about statistics or facts. It’s about a feeling. It’s manipulative.
It’s a common stereotype (I can confirm anecdotally) that whenever a woman goes to the doctor for any reason, the doctor will do one or more of the following:
ask when their last period was, regardless of the presenting issues
tell them to lose weight
order a pap smear
dismiss their distress as insignificant due to period/hysteria/any-BMI-higher-than-a-supermodel/just being a woman.
This happens a lot. I don’t know the stats but it’s happened enough times to women I know to actually cause them to avoid medical treatment.
No, I mean, I know that, but I was thinking they were referencing a specific case or something, because that sounded very extreme.
I was under the impression that high BMI was often used to dismiss health concerns regardless of gender, though; and that hysteria was soooo last century, but I guess not :C
According to a review I read, Scandinavian countries are better at this. Perchance we all move to Sweden.
I do believe 1. Is because everything changes as soon as a woman is pregnant and they have to stop doing any treatments that haven’t been tested on pregnant women for liability issues. Doesn’t really justify the others though.
Sounds familiar.
“Bloody vomit and passing out with a 43° fever? Bitch your BMI is 33 what do you expect?”

What is that message the author wants us to feel
They just want you to click so they can get paid. It’s called clickbait. It isn’t a special interest story.
What? What are you referencing here?!?! That’s beyond medical malpractice, holy crap…

ive heard it alot, especially if you are a poc, or black women they more than likely will go harder on those stereotypes.
