And yes I know it says "get the app now" But people with visual impairments

Sorry if this post doesn’t fit the sub, will remove if that’s the case.

Basically I had gone to the doctor, and while he was doing a physical examination of me, he saw a dark, velvety patch on my neck. And while I didn’t know this at the time, it’s because I have acanthosis nigricans, a skin condition that’s often comorbid with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). The only thing I did know at the time was that it wasn’t dirt, as it couldn’t be washed off.

However, despite the doctor trying (and failing) to scrub the “dirt” off with a wipe, he didn’t seem to make the connection that this was not dirt, but rather a skin condition (even though, again, acanthosis nigricans is common with PCOS, and I already had a PCOS diagnosis, so you’d think he would’ve realized that).

But here’s the infuriating part: after failing to miraculously clean off my skin condition, he looked at me in the eye and said “You got some dirt on your neck. Probably because you’re too fat to be able to scrub it off properly.”

Now, being a young teen at the time, this hurt me pretty badly, even though I knew what he was saying wasn’t true. But, in hindsight, now it just makes me angry, that he not only failed to realize that it’s a skin condition, but that he was saying I’m too fat to clean myself. Some doctors have terrible bedside manners.

TL;DR: Doctor failed to recognize a skin condition that’s common with PCOS, instead assumed that I’m too fat to practice proper hygiene.

What do you think of those people that come to a coffee festival with their big dog or with their kids? Me personally I have a very bad rep about them
