1. > Anni Saukkola noted that it is not only people from immigrant backgrounds who suffer from prejudice within the healthcare system, as some doctors and other medical staff discriminate against women, sexual and gender minorities, as well as people they consider to be overweight.

   And also those who have previously at any point in their life had a substance abuse problem. Which is why i kept mine a secret, the treatment is totally different and you are lucky to get just a Panadol prescription. The moment a doctor sees that information they instantly becomes suspicious of any claims made by the patient, even if that substance abuse has been well under control for more than a decade.
