They swore an oath to
first do no harm, but they won‘t
take me seriously.

The joys of dealing with chronic pain and having doctors who don‘t take you seriously. 😒

TheBookHippie It‘s just unreal how horrific the medical field is to women. 2w
AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie True...and to youth... 2w
TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal yes. They do not listen. 2w
DebinHawaii This makes me so angry! Doing nothing or not listening is doing harm. 🤬 2w
dabbe You need some new doctors! Some think they‘re so knowingly arrogant! 🩵🎯🩵 2w
CBee So sorry. Been there - not so much chronic pain (even tho I have that), but menopause issues. My GYN (male) told me to “ride it out.” 😡 2w
JenlovesJT47 @CBee forking bastards, that makes me so angry on your behalf. I haven‘t been to my PCP in years because unless I bring a man with me I don‘t get taken seriously. I need new doctors! Sounds like you need one too ♥️ 2w
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii @dabbe thank you everyone! I have fibromyalgia and some type of undiagnosed connective tissue disorder and I only have one doctor who is decent. I get blown off by the others. It sucks. 🫂♥️ 2w
TEArificbooks I have been told “there is no way you are in that kind of pain” I have been told “I have never heard of your condition so I‘m not comfortable treating you. Go home call your doctor and wait for the appointment in three months” I have been told “take Tylenol” even though I told him I have had all the Tylenol I can for my entire life and I get liver damage if I take it. Most frustrating part of my condition is being gaslight by doctors. 2w
JenlovesJT47 @TEArificbooks isn‘t it though? I‘m so sorry you have to go through that. I‘ve been told I‘m too young to have these problems. Well okay then, tell that to my body people 🙄. The gaslighting is the worst 🫂♥️ 2w

kspenmoll I am so sorry & mad about your experiences. Keep looking; I have found good medical people who listen. I love my gyn APRN-she‘s a wise listener, never rushes. My cardiologist too. 2w
lil1inblue I feel this one in my soul. 💔 So sorry so many women have to go through this! 🫂 2w
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Boy, I'd love for the doctors who blow you off to have to deal with fibromyalgia for just ONE day and then see if they would feel differently! 🤬🖤 2w
kezzlou85 So sorry your going through this. I have chronic pain too different reason but took me four years to finally see a doctor as hoped it was temporary and figured they'd fob me off with paracetamol. Its crazy we have to go through this. 2w
CBee @JenlovesJT47 I found an online provider that is basically just for menopausal women. I‘ve been on HRT for a bit and think I finally got to a dose that‘s helpful! I went back to him after I‘d gotten on the HRT and god he was still so smarmy. But, I needed a yearly and a mammo so 🤷‍♀️ 2w
CBee @TEArificbooks so sorry you‘ve had to deal with that on top of health issues. You‘d think it would be easy - do no harm. But apparently it‘s not 🤦‍♀️😥 2w
AnnCrystal 🥺🙏🏼❤️‍🩹💝. 2w

I love Joe Kenda so much and I will read any of his books. This is his second fiction book and I enjoyed every page of it.

The book read like a true crime book and it was full of twists and turns. I think like any mystery and thriller book this really does happen and I found it so crazy while I was reading it.

I definitely cannot wait for his next novel. Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!
