Have you ever felt judged, mistreated or discriminated against by healthcare providers?

I have in all my adult years had negative experiences with Healthcare providers just once that really affected me. Each time was the same Dr. I won't say the name or the practice name out of respect but I will never go back there and definitely would not recommend them.

I have not had any negative experiences with medical but the family yes

One time, so far. While I was in the hospital for a bowel obstruction surgery, an on call doctor that was not my doctor, told me, in front of my mom and husband, that I needed to plan my end of care since I will definitely have more bowel obstructions. He then told me what my surgeon said was possible was not. I was blown away. My mom and my husband both got very upset. He asked me if I had any questions and I told him that I was a little thrown off since I was really feeling much better and he was telling to plan for death. It bothered me, but not as much as my mom, who is a retired nurse. I just didn't pay any attention to him after that. Thankfully, I only had to see him three times.

Hi everyone,

How are you feeling today?

This seems like an important discussion. Feeling judged or dismissed by healthcare professionals can leave a lasting mark, not just on our trust in the system, but on our emotional well-being too. I remember someone once shared that after being waved off during an appointment, they didn’t go back to a doctor for nearly a year… even though their symptoms were getting worse. That hesitation, that doubt, it can stay with you.

So let’s keep this conversation going—because it matters.

Have you ever felt brushed off or treated differently by a healthcare provider because of your condition or background? What did you do next? And if you’ve had a really compassionate doctor or nurse, what made that experience different?

I’d love to hear more about what you all think!

Take care,
