Comment on Why are women turning to TikTok for advice about the pill? Because doctors won’t listen to us

Why not go to a woman doctor instead of going to TikTok for medical advice?

Where in the article does it say that this is about male doctors?

It’s the UK, they don’t have much choice in doctors.

From what I’ve heard, female doctors are mostly just as bad as male doctors. It’s a fundamental issue with medical care education and practice that will need a lot of effort and cooperation to address.

This presumes that the doctors gender identity affect their knowledge of how a hormone affects the body from a scientific perspective? If you just want opinions from people that have a similar perspective, social media is probably right up that alley. If you want a critical review of scientific data and stories about how patients they have treated have faired, why is gender identity relevant?

Because no one traches them well what to do and believe.
Social media education and a critica view of the Web is still much behind the current state of social media.
TikTok is the last place I’ll go check for any serious advice. Just opening the app is spamming me with horrible cringe content.
And the rest are very much unreliable. There are some serious creators, but they are coming from other platforms with reputation.
The other TikTok only creators may as well be false content until verified.

If I were to hazard a guess… long queues at the GP, not knowing if a lady doctor would be the one they see, or if she will judge them for their life choices…
