@southeranetwork: Bibi Syndrome isn't in any diagnostic manual, nor is it taught in medical school. Yet inside the UK's National Health Service (NHS), some doctors use this to label South Asian women they've decided are overstating their pain. The name borrows from two of the most common surnames among Pakistani and Bangladeshi women, Bibi and Begum, and turns them into a stereotype of patient that complains unnecessarily. Ayeesha watched it happen to her mum. Years of pain were waved off as "just ageing" and "overexaggeration" until she was finally diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease 3 years later. Until the NHS addresses systemic issues, patients and staff will continue to pay the price. #BibiSyndrome #MedicalRacism #NHS #SouthAsianWomen #HealthEquity #WomensHealth #RacismInMedicine

They’ve been doing this with black women in the UK and America. They never take a black woman’s pain as serious as it is as they think they’re “over-exaggerating” etc. Now it’s happening to South Asians. It’s medical negligence and discrimination.

Ok bibi syndrome aside. Some people do have a low pain threshold. Thats ok. We still manage em the same.

My mums cancer symptoms were ignored for a year. It was too late to fix by the time she finally saw an oncologist.

Also doctors and medical staff in general have been doing this for decades to women and especially people of colour more openly black people so I’m absolutely not surprised. Pls stay advocating for your health to get yourself the care you need!!!!! Get yourself the referral and specialist you need and stay advocating until they give it to you!!!!

a lot of these people end up with life threatening illnesses because GPs refuse to listen to them or investigate. they should be held accountable and struck off.they know these people dont have the wealth and education to take complaints far.
