our midwife gave us some very solid advice to talk about with the pediatrician and ended it with "make sure to tell him you got this fror chatgpt and not a midwife, it makes doctors take you more seriously" :agony:

honestly she is such a well of information and such a kind-hearted good person and an elite expert, the stuff this woman can recall of the top of her head is mind-boggling, but gets slandered by our pediatricians boss it's fucking gut-wrenching. They keep saying that she is part of some circle of sheisters that recommend unnecessary procedures to make bank and we know the truth but there's nothing we can do...

So I can't say this about other places, not even in the rest of Latin America, but here in Brasil doctors are actually a kind of a big issue that is not discussed nearly enough. Medical school is really hard to get into, so those that are able to pay for preparatory courses, often the rich and the upper-middle class, have a huge advantage over everyone else, but that's only for the public universities, private medical school is also extremely prohibitive because it's extremely expensive.

This creates all sort of issues, not only are white people overrepresented (thinking about it now, I don't remember ever seeing a black doctor in person in my life), but the people that gets to attend medical school tend to have been spoiled kids that feel superior than other people and think they can get away with anything. It goes all the way from smaller stuff like the staggering amount of students that have an ego the size of jupiter and demands you to call them doctors, all the way to stuff like this:

CW: Sexual assaultIn 2023, a video went viral of a bunch of medicine students of Unisa pulling down their pants and faking masturbation during a woman's volleyball match. After that, 15 students were expelled, then they were later reinstated.

In 2025, 12 students were expelled and 11 more were punished by the Santa Marcelina university after they took a photo holding a banner withremoved apologia written on it.

And these are just 2 cases of students, there's a multitude more of just as bad stuff if not worse. There's one case of a doctor that makes me wanna vomit, I'll not say what it was, but here's the link of a news coverage if you're curious, just be warned IT'S REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD and there's a very triggering image at the end of the page, one time I was watching the news late at night and a recording of him just appeared in the TV with no fucking warning. I have also seen all sorts of videos by women doctors or medicine students reporting all sorts of stuff, even reporting on the sort of disgusting stuff you can imagine people that work with corpses do.

Suffice to say, I don't trust male doctors and male morgue workers at all.
