I am so sorry to read this, Claire - what a nightmare situation for you and your family (you showed me your husbands lovely sculptures when we met in Bath). You say staff are frightened, and It must take a lot of courage to put yourself out there on the front line at the moment, day after day. Huge thank you to you and your work colleagues for doing this. Petition signed. Best wishes xxxx

The normalisation of women’s pain
in Women's health
Posted
Lisa, what you've written here is wonderful! I experienced a horrendously painful hysteroscopy when I was many years post-menopausal and had had very painful periods before that. I was in a high risk group for pain and this was ignored, as it is for thousands of women in the UK, because the powers that be prefer to say the procedure is well tolerated and most women don't experience pain. The truth is that for most women PROMS aren't sought. To hear you say "If someone is telling me they have pain, my job isn’t to judge or dismiss it," is music to my ears! How can we get other medics to agree with you?
