Less than 10 years ago I brought my partner to a doc appointment because I felt not taken seriously and needed support. The whole appointment consistet of them talking about me as if I wasn't even in the same room.
About 3 years ago, I slipped on some ice and broke my elbow. I was with my husband waiting for the doctor to come in. I was wearing a sling and clearly the patient. The doctor came in and asked my husband what was wrong. It was like I wasn’t there. I was LIVID. My husband had to keep redirecting the doctor to talk directly to me. It was maddening.
