Hi there,
In January we’re launching a new Mumsnet campaign to highlight and tackle medical misogyny - the all-too-common experience of women having their health concerns dismissed, minimised or ignored by healthcare professionals, often with serious consequences.
As part of the campaign, we want to shine a light on the extraordinary lengths women often have to go to before they’re actually listened to. So we’d love to hear from you:
What have you had to do to get a doctor (or other HCP) to take your pain or symptoms seriously?
If you’ve got a story you’re willing to share, please do post below and help us to show the scale of the problem and why change is so urgently needed.
Thanks,
MNHQ
