hello darlings welcome to royal clarence now i'm still in bed officially but i have i have been up and uh bathed etc but i i'm now back in bed having another lie down and it occurs to me that while i'm having all these major health issues it's probably good to talk about them not about the issues you know i'm not going to sit here and moan about what hurts what i wanted to moan about actually is the fact that as a woman it has been really hard all my life to access good medical care i've been able to access some medical medical care but none of it has been good medical care i was sick for 10 years with a tumor because a male doctor told me to live

with it grin and bear it did i want major surgery and the risk to life etc so for 10 years i didn't go back because he'd made out that the surgery would be so dangerous and such a long three-month recovery etc etc now it turns out that that advice was very mis misjudged for various reasons not least because i nearly died but the the point i think i want to make today is that male doctors still to this day have a propensity to consider women a nuisance a problem a problematic um how would i say like getting themselves around the london underground you know really complicated and we are really complicated but we deserve the best medical

treatment and the best care and we deserve respect now on monday i had a terrible experience with a male nurse at the hospital and i've obviously got something wrong he said to me you've obviously got something wrong with you but we can't deal with you here and he he i was in tears when i left and i'm still none the wiser i'm still waiting for doctors to get back to me i'm still waiting for tests i've had x-rays i've had scans but the last four doctors haven't

seen me face to face they've talked to me and it's very very difficult as women to express how we feel and i'm just learning now that i have to now write down maybe notes about what it is i'm actually feeling and then express that in a better way to the doctor because what is a given is that they won't understand me they absolutely will not understand me now this chap at the hospital i've got a compacted eardrum and he told me that he did tell me that he said there's nothing i can do for that you have to go somewhere else and have that you have to pay for it privately but i was in the tittiness was so loud that i couldn't hear what he was saying

and he was very rude about me saying i would never be a musician and i've been a musician all my life and a professional musician for the last few years so how he could say that to me you know it was really really upsetting but i couldn't hear i couldn't hear what he was saying i couldn't hear his instructions i couldn't hear the machines that he was banging and putting to my ear but also i i didn't understand what he was trying to ask of me and he was in such a foul mood that all i could...
