I have experienced discrimination and judgement in the medical sense. Whenever I have gone to the hospital about something physical, if its not obvious the doctors have sort of downplayed what I am going through because of the bipolar and medications I take. I had walked around for 6 months with a torn rotator cuff because one doctor said it was tendonitis and I would be in too much pain if it had actually torn. I had to self refer to my orthopedist and he is the one who sent me for the MRI and did my surgery.
