I was in a fugue state drawing this. If it is in any way upsetting, I will delete it.

    in most places you will first need to consult an intermediary person (like a GP or family doctor) who will tell you to wait and observe for a while anyways. it is not like you go to the hospital and they immediately test you. you need to bleed out of your anus for quite a while before they take you seriously…

      I freaked out when I saw blood in the toilet after a shit. Went to see my doc. He looked at my butthole and said “it’s hemorrhoids, I can see them”.

      Sounds like 100% your location issue. In UK shit is taken seriously. Try different GP and report them if you can.

      I’m talking from experience too. If they’re not taking bleeding seriously, it’s fucked beyond belief.

          Have not, was seen same day and examined within an hour… 2024 Feb is fairly old, wait times have been being cut.

          Just pointing it out as you’re just spreading misleading information. Yeah, it was bad and situations like that suck, but what are you achieving? Are you seriously trying to do what exactly?

            One year is old wow? If you are 20 years old maybe but otherwise it means you have spent like 10+ years navigating the problems of this system and getting frustrated at every turn. One year of improvement does not undo all those years of hardships. I have had friends going back to their own countries for treatments because of these waiting times and sometimes because their problem was not taken seriously, my wife being one of them, a close friend of mine another. Calling a fair criticism of a system that has been horrible for the last two decades of someone’s attempt to “achieve something” and “spreading misinformation” sounds directly from the fascist’s handbook.

      Um … nope. I sent me to a gastroenterologist. We just talked, no physical exam. He immediately scheduled the butt probe. After that he sent me to the hemorrhoid guy who only saw me once, procedure on the first visit.

      I’ll add that every medical professional that I spoke to about bleeding out of my ass was understanding and concerned. At no point was I not taken seriously.
