“Sustaining your lifestyle” as though his GF just decided one day to pay money to the doctor as a hobby lol.”
“My sister went to the doctors for 3 years in considerable pain and the (male) GP accused her of being addicted to the pain medication they were prescribing while they barely looked into the cause – eventually she was rushed to the hospital where, surprise!”
“It was stage 4 cancer the whole time! Luckily she got onto a trial for immunotherapy and it’s really helping her – her cancer is looking like it might be dormant now, 3 years later! – but before the trial, even with chemo, her life expectancy was only months by the time they found it.”
“Your girlfriend is doing what she needs to.”
“She’s not sick because she’s going to the doctor a lot. She’s going to the doctor a lot because she’s sick. Capiche?”
“She doesn’t need your unqualified advice or judgment on top of the health issues she’s dealing with.”
“You’re not a doctor. She is an adult who can manage her own health.”
“I know this is coming from a place of caring but as someone who has a lot of health issues, it’s not helpful when your support system tells you you’re doing wrong.”
