Why didn't you say so?

Best medical advice I ever got was to bring a man to your appointments

Mate what the fuck. Okay now after I move in with my GF I might just tag along to every doctor's appointment she'll have me in.

had an ex that had stomach pain issues for years, would go to the doctors, be given pain pills and sent home. I took her once and basically demanded an ultrasound when they were about to end the appointment. Gall stones, she suffered for years because no one bothered to check for the #1 result on webmd for her symptoms. Was immediately visible on the ultrasound, got surgery 2 weeks later and no more pain.
