A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

You may not have realised but I wager the dominant majority of Lemmy's userbase is American. So the dominant discussion will be focused on America.

I agree with you, it is not limited to America. But all any of us can really offer here is an anecdote.

Anecdotally I watched my partner go through this is in Australia for PCOS. Many doctors seem to be unable to reconcile that they don't know literally everything.

Sorry to hear about your partner. I hope they're doing better.
