I appreciate that, and I want to offer hopefully a more positive outlook. These topics are becoming standard courses in the US medical school curriculum, as in they have to be taught to medical students.

It won't solve every problem, of course, but the curriculum is way more patient-oriented than it used to be instead of being a simple "solve disease" kind of curriculum, which is what most of the doctors you see today are taught with.

I rarely comment on lemmy, but I had to say something against the few people who were saying these experiences aren't valid.

Discrimination is real, and don't assume Doctors are perfect because they're not. Of course be open-minded and don't be antagonistic to the ones who are legitimately trying to help you, but if you feel your care wasn't great, then that's very likely a failure on the physician's part.
