It took a full calendar year of episodes of excruciating, life-disturbing and very classic nerve pain to get a neurology referral that was accepted. Watching TikToks where medical providers all pat each other on the back for making the stupid joke about dropping everything to treat a "farmer" who comes in with pain, I wonder how long it would have taken if I were a different gender.
