"Female comics are often described in ways their male counterparts aren’t. Consider this lot of reviews from this year: Croft & Pearce: ‘Very beautiful young women’; Kerry Gilbert: ‘A pretty girl’; The Silky Pair: ‘Two lovely ladies’; Sara Pascoe: ‘The female tag does not apply here’(?) and Tiffany Stevenson: ‘Stevenson explores typically female themes such as weight issues.’ Oh, and they all came from the website of, erm, Funny Women, which is supposed to be driving sexism out of comedy…"
>_<
Oh dear.
I instantly regret posting that though, as I don't want to have a yet another debate on sexism and be made out to be a hairy man-hater. I can't be bothered with all that rubbish today.
Yes, let's sidestep all that crap today can we?

Nothing new there, unfortunately.
Quote: Harridan @ August 24 2012, 12:27 PM BSTUnhelpful health practitioners realy do drive me mad. I once had a doctor who would always ask me what I thought was wrong with me - not when I had a sore throat, mind, but when I'd had blood tests and she'd told me the hormone levels. Like I should be able to tell her what that meant.
Yeah...that's weird. My doctor says things like, "So why do you reckon that would be?" and "What's your pulse like?". Sometimes, I swear I've walked into a quiz show!
I don't go often...I take a long list of things that I've worried about over the past year. I don't think he takes me seriously. The feeling's mutual...heh.

You don't live in Wolves do you?
Sounds just like mine. A couple of years I came out in a rash over both arms. I was sent home from work and went to the doctors. She asked me what I thought it was.
'Well I don't f**kin' know do I or I wouldn't f**kin' be here you overpaid medical cretin !'
Did she diagnose you with Tourettes?

I'd have had you sectioned for that outburst.

I swear they stick a family member at their desk while they go on holiday just to save on paying out for a locum. I'll probably turn up next week and find his nan sitting there with a false beard on.
Mine doesn't ask me what I think it is, as she knows I'd have already researched the symptoms, etc. Instead she just reiterates that's what she's here for, to diagnose (after I tell her anyway).
You gotta annoy them.
For all you women people moaning about the Doctors, here's a handy hint, don't go. I haven't been to the Doctor's in years, except when I broke my ankle, but even then I put off going in for six weeks.
Only go to the Doctors if you are properly dying and you can avoid all that condescension.
Glad I was able to help.
