You do know that headache is a doctor euphemism for "woman with hypochondriac tendencies, ignore her other complaints and just treat her for a headache, then send her home and update and pay for your malpractice insurance so when she comes back to be treated again for an actual stroke you wont go broke paying her lawsuit settlement"

I dont quite understand where doctors get the idea that women are either lying about their symptoms, or that things that women complain about arent real medical problems.

When I had the optic neuritis the first time...the notes said "treated for subjective left eye pain". Which basically means they either didnt know what was wrong with me at the time, or that I was drug seeking for pain meds. When they asked if I wanted pain meds, I said no...I dont, I just wanted to know why I had giant blind spots in my left eye and couldnt see. The ER report didnt even mention the light sensitivity or the giant blind spots.
