Now, all of sudden, it feels like there’s a lot of of people who wouldn’t go to a doctor for a cancer treatment, and would actively dissuade others from trying to do so…
Ugh.
I understand,
a) Sometimes it is difficult/impossible to see a Dr due to limits like exhaustion from illness[1], transport restrictions, childcare, not being able to get time off work without being fired;
b) Sometimes money is a barrier [whether the cost of the Dr; or the cost of unpaid-time-off-work meaning that you can't pay the rent];
but absent these restrictions, I really don't understand not going.
[1] I, and many other chronically ill people, have not seen Drs when we probably should have because we were too ill/exhausted to be able to travel to the Dr and sit in the waiting room for an hour.
