And that's where you lost people.
Tell me then, where do we turn to when doctors, one of the most trusted professions in society, are silently killing us?
Where do we turn to when every woman with serious abdominal pain gets turn away because they cannot be trusted to know what their own period feels like, only to later die from endometrial cancer or peritonitis?
Girls are 16 times less likely to be diagnosed than boys. Where do we go and get an ADHD diagnosis before the suicidal thoughts set in? What the fuck are the rest of us supposed to do if doctors take one look and conclude that she 'just wants attention'?
