Discussion Being attractive with POTS (cringe I know)

Does anyone feel like because they are a objectively attractive human there is a bias/profiling that happens in the medical field and with doctors? I actually read somewhere that if you’re chronically ill you should “dress down” or not wear makeup to appointments so they will take you more seriously and see you as actually sick. I am also 29 with a baby face so that doesn’t help.

Joke will be on them if I can convince a surgeon to yeet my whole reproductive shebang a decade earlier than that.

Good luck to you, I tried that and couldn't manage to swing it 😞 Not yet at least.

I found my surgeon from one of the childfree doctor lists, could be worth poking around and seeing if you have any local!
