    That there’s an interesting trend of hyperfixating on the US in threads like this about problems that apply much more broadly across the globe.

      I have to admit: This is quite a silly thing to say. Essentially you are criticizing people for talking about their own experience rather than experiences they know little or nothing about. When others have offered broader perspectives, such as my mention that my healthcare experiences in other countries has been significantly better, you double down.

      This leads me to conclude you don’t really have a point to make.

        Receives explanation

        Dismisses explanation out of hand to “win”

        Classic

          Have you considered working on fostering a greater degree of introspection in your interactions with other people? I feel it would serve you well.

          Good bye.

      You may not have realised but I wager the dominant majority of Lemmy’s userbase is American. So the dominant discussion will be focused on America.

      I agree with you, it is not limited to America. But all any of us can really offer here is an anecdote.

      Anecdotally I watched my partner go through this is in Australia for PCOS. Many doctors seem to be unable to reconcile that they don’t know literally everything.

        Sorry to hear about your partner. I hope they’re doing better.
