A woman who says she was repeatedly denied adequate emergency care last spring is blasting the Newfoundland and Labrador health-care system, saying she's been left psychologically scarred after being told several times that her gangrenous appendix was simply anxiety or constipation. Joy Spence, 21, said she visited emergency departments at two hospitals in St. John's over the course of nearly two weeks this May. What began as weakness and abdominal pain on her right side quickly deteriorated into blacking out from the agony in her torso. But no matter how dire her symptoms got, doctors kept sending her home. "They would just tell me, 'Your bloodwork's normal, there's nothing we can do.' They would send me home, then same thing again," she said. "I would go back again. They would get me to do the bloodwork, say everything's normal." Ultrasound and CT scans apparently turned up nothing, but Spence, in such severe pain, says she had no option but to keep returning to the hospital, where she says she was eventually left screaming in a waiting room, ignored by hospital staff. "If somebody doesn't help me, I'm going to die," she recalls wailing, watching doctors and nurses pass her by. At one point, she was dismissed outright by a walk-in clinic nurse, she adds. "Somebody said to me, 'I don't know what you expect me to do,'" she said. "'You're a healthy 21-year-old young female.'" One night, she says, her boyfriend had to help her into an ambulance. Spence was in so much pain she couldn't stay conscious and stand on her own. "I remember the man in the ambulance telling me … how often he sees other young women going into the hospital and seeing them be misdiagnosed and not taken seriously," she said, speaking through tears. "He said that he would do his best to … get things going for me."

They nearly killed this woman by blowing off her symptoms. Other women have since come forward to say their symptoms were also ignored. One woman died because no one would listen to her. And yet the head of emergency departments insists that there is no sexism in the hospitals.

For the sake of this poll, i am lumping in both mental and physical disabilities as disability. depression and autism count here just as much as limited mobility.

this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem

1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"

2. hitting the baby will still win you the game
