Extremely sexist.

Extremely sexist.
The first time I went with light-headedness, fatigue, and fainting spells, they wrote it off as "this is normal for women" and told me to "just go eat some protein." It took them a week to diagnose me with anemia and repeated effort on my part to say "I think this is what my symptoms mean."
Now having abdominal pain up to my ribs, they won't throw off the theory of menstrual cramps. Pretty sure my uterus doesn't go up into my ribcage, thanks.
I've had a friend who went for wrist pain which they diagnosed as a sprain; it was fractured.
They obviously try to rush diagnoses and "wait out" any illnesses they can't think of off the top of their heads.
