@Somya.P I have never judged by my healthcare provider because it helped me out over the years

@Somya.P throughout my two battles with breast cancer and my pancreatic cancer, I have been blessed to receive the best of doctors and their medical staff, and every test under the sun.

I have in all my adult years had negative experiences with Healthcare providers just once that really affected me. Each time was the same Dr. I won't say the name or the practice name out of respect but I will never go back there and definitely would not recommend them.

One time, so far. While I was in the hospital for a bowel obstruction surgery, an on call doctor that was not my doctor, told me, in front of my mom and husband, that I needed to plan my end of care since I will definitely have more bowel obstructions. He then told me what my surgeon said was possible was not. I was blown away. My mom and my husband both got very upset. He asked me if I had any questions and I told him that I was a little thrown off since I was really feeling much better and he was telling to plan for death. It bothered me, but not as much as my mom, who is a retired nurse. I just didn't pay any attention to him after that. Thankfully, I only had to see him three times.

Hello everyone,
I hope this post finds you in good spirits. 😊
An aspect that can deeply affect our experiences in our unique health journeys is the level of understanding, compassion, and respect we receive from healthcare professionals.
Unfortunately, not all interactions are positive, and some of us may have faced misunderstandings, biases, or even discrimination during our medical care. These experiences can range from feeling like our symptoms are not taken seriously, to encountering blatant stigma or bias based on our condition, age, sex, ethnicity, religion, race, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Have you ever felt misunderstood, judged, or unfairly treated by doctors or other healthcare providers because of your chronic condition? How did this impact your well-being? And importantly, how did you navigate these challenges, and do you have any advice for fellow patients who might be experiencing similar situations?
Please feel free to share your thoughts and stories. Remember, this is a safe and supportive space for all of us to speak openly and honestly. Your experiences, both positive and negative, are valuable and can help offer support and guidance to others.
Warm regards,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
