Why didn't you say so?

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

My female friend had a MRSA infection that ended with her going septic (she’s okay now) that started with severe pain in her jaw and she was labeled as “drug seeking” until her jaw literally started deteriorating and ended up needing facial reconstruction surgery and iv antibiotics. To top it all off, the “drug seeking” is still on her chart so now every time she sees a new dr she has to convince them she’s not. Absolute BS

Similar situation when my friend told me she has scars from MRSA because the doctors and insurance didn’t want to believe she actually had it. She got the same bullshit treatment. It’s sickening
