I fucking hat doctors and the whole medical system - here's why

No, i don't hate doctors bcs a have some phobia related to hospitals or any stuff like that, i just the fact that doctors fail with minorities so much and they can get away with that so easily, now hear me out bcs i have a LOT to say.

for some context, i live in brazil, and all of the reasearch is either in portuguese or only applies to latino-america statistics.

The biggest newspaper of brazil did a great article towards how doctors are likely to see black people as a race that doesn't need too much care or health treatment and it lead them to ignore their pain or even surgery complications and harmfull symptoms they might have. The reasearch that was made in a time period in of 10 years and i know a lot of black folks (myself included) who were neglected to treatment in the last 5 years. I remember being 13 years old and screaming to a doctor that was removing a entire nail from my feet's thumb that the anestesic he gave me wasn't working but he persisted to take my nail off ignoring my agony, it was so fucking painfull. My mom's friend literally DIED during a surgery bcs the doctors didn't take proper of her injuries with the thought of her being "stronger" due to her skin color, all of this just make me so fucking mad. I'm glad that in brazil we have public healthcare but it just sucks so much.

If you are fatphobic at any degree, don't belive in fatphobia and think fat and obese people are just lazy and dramatic just leave this post ok.

Doctors don't even TRY to treat fat people, they overlook serious symptoms just because of the person's weight and they don't even try to hide that, you can have fucking cancer symptoms and a doctor will say your body hurst because you not thin. I know BMI is really important to us even if it's not a perfect system bcs is the only thing closer to a weight metric we have nowdays, it doesn't even give you a right ansewr if you have too much muscle. One of the things that triggered my ed was how i was treated by doctors when i was younger, i could have a fucking flu or a bad headache due to the nights i didn't slept because of my insomnia and they would blame my it on my weight. I was super physically active as a child and my mother never even gave me permission to eat very commun candies and snacks all the kids around me used to eat. I have a deformity in my feet bones since i was born, when i was around 7-9 my mother menaged to get an appointment with a well spoken doctor in my city, when i walked in to his roon he just looked to me for 10 seconds didn't asked for any previous information about my condition and blamed my weight for it.

i'm not done complaining, i'll add more things to it later and correct my english mistakes, remembering my childhood is very triggering to me and i not feeling well right now.
