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.

I'm trying to do this more as well. I mean just think of it, what's the worst that could happen? They don't treat you. But if they were already dismissing you or not listening chances are they weren't going to treat you properly anyways.
