Thread/ About fear

Our reactions to being frightened can include:

Fight, flight, freeze, fawn, faint, flock ...

And sometimes a combination of these responses.

Fight - getting into a stand-up confrontation as the adrenaline surges Flight - getting the hell out of there as fast as possible

Freeze - play dead - hope I'm not noticed ...

Fawn - yes of course you're right, I'll do whatever you want, I won't challenge you, please don't hurt me ...

Faint - shock and fear can just overwhelm

Women are sharing ghastly experiences of outpatient #hysteroscopy - invasive surgery with zero anaesthetic - the NHS UK standard practice

This barbaric, inhumane, misogynistic assault against women's rights must end

1/ Seemingly endless reports coming in - women's grotesque gynaecological experiences on @NHSuk

Lied to, minimised, dismissed, mocked, belittled, scorned by health care professionals

@HysteroscopyA Refusal to believe women's first hand authoritative accounts of how these procedures TRULY feel

Failure to see women as needing or having any right to pain management

Callous, total lack of empathy, refusal to respond to women's pain

Hysteroscopy: excellent treatment when done with respect & compassion for patient, without financial and convenience issues & outdated attitudes to women getting in the way. A thread:

@RCObsGyn #Anaesthetics have been available since the century before last.

Men are given local or general anaesthetic for #prostatecancer biopsies as a matter of course.

So why do women continue to be subjected to #gynaecological torture? Misogyny in action?
