Messed up things a doctor did to you or someone you know? / Bad experiences with doctors (lemmy.zip)

Today I spoke to a coworker who had bad experiences with doctors and was seeking recommendations for a new one, then other coworkers chimed in, and so I decided to ask you guys as well. Well, not for a doctor recommendation, but about your bad experienced with doctors?

I'm gonna spoiler mine, because it makes me very uncomfortable, so perhaps it may make someone else very uncomfortable.

uncomfortable

I had a doctor who had no business in it make me show my intimate parts (I'm intersex) and she touched them. She was curious, I guess...? She's a psychiatrist, so, again, literally 0 business doing so. I already have trauma from regular people who treat me like a circus display, I really had no need for someone with systemic power over me using it like that...

No, I didn't report this. I was a teenager and barely functioning at the time. :/

Please consider going to a rolfer with this jaw situation.

These kinds of “I did X action for a long time then my body reconfigured its shape” scenarios happen and the mechanism is myofascial tension.

A rolfer is trained on how to achieve that new alignment. It’s like myofascial release plus a layer of theory about how to sequence the release to ensure patterns don’t come back.

Usually runs about $150 a session.

Rolfing is pseudoscience. Do not visit anyone who makes claims like this.

Already did training with a speech therapie specialist for the tongue resting position. Nothing major beyond a cracking jaw if I open it too much /shrug.
