The wife tells him to shut up because he did the same thing to her. Dr Budd tells Dorothy in New York, "change your attitude, maybe your hair color too. My wife is a totally different woman ever since she went blonde". Of course, she is depicted with blond hair. No doubt she understands Dorothy more than her husband ever will.
U are so right ! As a kid I just figured it was " girl power " but u nailed it. She empathized w/ dorothy b/c he had what i just figured was a throw away line about how " my wife dyed her hair & shes a blonde & it's done wonders for her " something to that effect. That was some great piece if writing w/ the payoff of not just dorothy telling him off but the wife telling him to shut up when he is not gaf about what dorothy is saying to him yet again being dismissive. This was an episode I never forgot !
"I still wish you a better doctor than you were to me". The harshest and to me, the most powerful, words of her entire speech. They damned him more than any expletive-filled rant could have. Most doctors I know are very much like Dr. Budd: Self-assured, inflappable and arrogant; to say to his face that he's a crap doctor, which is the basis of his self-image and esteem, and to do so calmly and coolly, is worse than anything else. It shows he's a quack, which doctors deep down fear being.
@@tami8458Unfortunately that rarely happens to doctors whether they are good or bad. For the most part doctors get better treatment when they themselves get sick, the profession closes rank on others.
When he said “good” and her voice immediately solidified I read it as “I was gonna walk away but you said that shit.” She was willing to back off if he had even a bit of humility, but because he was a dickhead she got her second wind. “Aight bet, we’re doing this now.” Fucking love this show man
I actually dismissed a psychologist in a similar fashion and I'm so proud to say I learned it from Dorothy. Happened during the pandemic, she was supposed to have video appointments with me once every week, but she'd often skip several weeks with no explanation. It reached a point in which I genuinely stopped caring and didn't even message her anymore to confirm appointments, leading my mother (who had arranged the appointments) to talk to her and get the response that I was the one not contacting her, even though at one point she went an entire month confirming appointments and not showing up herself. I felt really proud when I messaged her and ended it all with "I hope that if you ever need a psychologist or any health professional, they're better professionals to you than you were to me."
Hands down Bea Arthur's greatest performace as Dorothy Zbornak. If you want an acting lesson, then here it is. She gives you comedy, drama, perfect timing and makes you really believe that her character went through the pain of this illness. A great scene is television history.
As someone who gets dismissed by doctors because I’m a young woman who “shouldn’t have these problems because I’m young” this hit close to me. I loved it
This is so relatable. Dealt with this when trying to find a diagnosis for Endometriosis. After being in so much pain and being told that "it's probably all in your head" they reluctantly did my 1st of 3 laporoscopies. While still under anesthesia, the Dr told my Mom "I don't know how she was even walking around like that. Out of the 40 plus yrs of practicing medicine I've never seen a case that bad" I felt so relieved. I wasn't crazy! It wasn't all in my head! My internal organs literally had shifted from so much scar tissue. And even after 3 laporoscopies and having Stage 4 Endometriosis I still get dismissed by some Dr's as having "just a bad period" when for women who suffer from this understand it is SO much more than that. From those experiences, luckily between migraines and Trigeminal Neuralgia I learned to advocate for myself because if not, no one will. Some times you need to be the loudest voice in the room just to be heard and I'm ok with that
Thank you for your service to all of us. Every time a woman or any vulnerable patient advocates for themselves when they shouldn't have to, you bring us that much closer to the day when our health is valued and we are taken seriously on the first visit to the doctor. You're making the world better and I hope that your health improves now you finally have a proper diagnosis.
I saw this on Facebook and came here to reshare it with every woman I know. Endo, PCOS, vaginitis, ovarian cyst etc. We have to fight for help. Sending you all the love. Proud of you for fighting for yourself.
Infact, most women with endometriosis get almost no reassurance or are even acknowledged that they are suffering in pain. I've suffered most of my life with severe endometriosis and the stories I could tell,could fill a book. We still need to stand up to these arrogant, ignorant so called medical professionals and either tell them to listen or walk out if they don't believe us. I've had to walk out many times. It's a relief to find a Dr who believes me and supports me but they are few and far between. Keep strong and never put up with any b.s. from anyone. Jo.
I've never actually watched this show, at least nothing more than bits and pieces of an episode, but someone posted this clip on Tumblr some time back, and I have to agree with them: this is a PERFECT representation of how invisible illnesses are treated.
Yes! I post this in the lyme disease groups. Many of them get accused as well of faking, you don't look sick, etc. Even their own families! When they're riddled with chronic infections, suicidal and just want to be normal and not on disability. I know bc I have it too.
2:22-2:31 I love how in this scene, while Dorothy is angry, she still has the compassion in herself to point out that this doctor should rethink his attitude not just for her, but for other patients who could've just as easily been pushed aside as she was. "They need to be HEARD!"
The episode with Rose possibly having AIDS was definitely gutsy for its time, even if it took the safe route of contracting it through nonsexual means (DESIGNING WOMEN actually went there). But any discussion of it in the epidemic's earliest days was brave enough.
Eric Andrews I think Rose being affected was a strong point. So many then and now assume AIDS is for bad people. When it has no direction, AIDS is like bullets, it doesn't matter who it is. Just like Blanche says, when Rose questions why she would have to deal with having such a horrible disease.
This hits oh-too-close-to-home for me. For six years, I had baffling symptoms that no GP could seem to pinpoint. After about six months of going to multiple doctors, most of whom blew me of as a hysterical hypochondriac, Never mind how I had passed out on a street, or how I had felt like I was having a heart attack one day, it felt like every part of me inside was on fire, and it took me over an hour to get back to any kind of normalcy. But, nope, I was just a silly woman. Fast forward six years. I was a late-life college student, and I couldn't even go up a flight of stairs without having to suck on an inhaler every few steps because I couldn't breathe. That night, I had the classic "elephant on the chest" pain, and went to an ER. The doctor said I wasn't having a heart attack, but thought something else, something serious, was going on. He referred me to a cardiologist. That guy got one look at me, and sent me to yet another ER, he suspected for congestive heart failure, but he admitted something about it didn't quite add up, let's find out what's going on. I was in the hospital for a week while they rain every test imaginable on me. At last, one test pointed him in a whole new direction. A simple test, one that any fricking doctor could have run for pennies on the dollar: a full thyroid panel. I had Graves Disease. I'd had it for year. That day I felt like I was dying for over an hour? I almost went into something called thyroid storm, when every system in the body goes fricking haywire. Most people die from it. And I'd been blown off, all that time.. Later, I started having bad symptoms that no woman my age should have, post-menopausal bleeding, and bad. One of my OTHER specialists, an endocrinologist no less, literally IGNORED my complaints about it. He didn't even acknowledge what I'd said! Turned out I had uterine cancer. I fired that sexist piece of shit. LOUDLY. When I was leaving the clinic, and the receptionist tried to set up a followup appointment for me, I again got loud and said that wouldn't be necessary. Not after I'd just fired their doctor for almost killing me.--"I had cancer, and he ignored me. Not no but hell no will I ever see that murderous quack again! You're lucky I'm too sick and too tired to sue you into oblivion." They had at least 40 people in their waiting room, and all of them were paying rapt attention.
Nobody could deliver a line like Bea! Brilliant acting and top notch writing. Funny and mature without being vulgar..I can't tell you how many times tones I've binge- watched the entire series!
I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Three years ago I was moments away from suicide before a health professional FINALLy listened to me and was able to give me care and medication to help deal with the crippling pain, depression and anxiety that comes with these illnesses.
I aspire to be like Dorothy one day. She's sarcastic and funny as hell, but she can also get really serious when she wants to and she gives the most amazing speeches. The one she gave to Stan in the second episode was just as heart-wrenching.
Not only is Dorothy a great character but bea Arthur is a great actress it just 3 minutes she delivers comedy with excellent timing, a heartfelt speech which plays with different emotions whilst remaining to keep her grit and grace. Excellent scene
This episode really hits home for me because I’m sick and I’ve been to many many doctors that dismissed me and makes me feel I was crazy! Doctors don’t really know shit!
That's not entirely true. My doctor knew what he was doing whenever I visited him. He was really good to me whenever I was sick. Along with my brothers to. It just depends on what kind of Doctor. Like how experienced they are.
TowerClimber81 my mother can relate to this. She’s gone to doctors to help my sister who has ADHD, and they all told her she was a bad mom. It’s pretty terrible...
His wife/date probably told him to shut up and listen because he's an ass to her and other people outside of work. On a personal note, this reminded me of what my grandma went through. Her doctor (a woman) she'd been seeing for years completely blew her off even though she was in pain - like she was faking it. My grandmother was dead a year later. It's been 4 years and I still feel like cursing that bitch out. Maybe I'll send her an email one of these days.. Something like this happened to me too, only at the ER. While it was not serious, I was very scared since I was 17/18, homeless, and very ill out of the blue. I understand completely that patients who crave attention come in with fake/self-diagnosed illnesses all the time, and it's very annoying and time consuming, but it comes with the territory. Other people are simply scared and doctors never really know (or ask/try to find out why) their patients seem to be so scared. Maybe some doctors need to find a different profession? Just because you like practicing medicine doesn't mean you need to be a caregiver.
William Holmes my mom had a similar experience, not just personally, but with all of us. I have a little sister who has a lot of health problems and even has ADHD, but every time my mom went to the doctor, they always told her she was a bad mom who refused to discipline her kids. And she finally got a doctor who helped her solve the problem. I definitely think a doctor needs to be compassionate in order to work. I think if they cared more about the patient and less about the money, more proper healing could get done.
That's right. "My wife became a blonde. She's a new woman." All you did was silence her anger with you and make her doubt herself. Dorothy just woke her back up.
That's why i love this show...meanful scenes,touching scenes,And real situations but with humor ..... These days i'm taking care of my mother And i've meet a few doctors like this....Sad but True..Sorry but English ia not my First language.
Indeed. She understands in a way only another woman can just how insulting the way he treated Dorothy was, and Dorothy has just helped her see him for what he truly is. Of course she'll be her silent support in this situation.
There are some lines only Bibi Besch can say. Yes you know her name. She was Dr. Carole Marcus, Captain Kirk's ex-wife in Star Trek 2 (the real one from the 80's).
I feel this so much. My old dr kept dismissing me, making me feel like it was all in my head, and now this year from a specialist was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. It's so nice being told I'm not crazy, it's not in my head. Some Dr's really don't care. And some do.
She's got a point, doctors are functioning and breathing human beings too whose bodies eventually break down and/or get sick with age just like the rest of us. They themselves will eventually end up on an operating table at the other end of a knife. They better take their jobs seriously and show compassion because they just might end up with a doctor who's just as cruel/corrupt/selfish as they themselves were to their patients.
i have rheumatoid arthritis and the doctors didn't believe me for so long. they just wrote it off as muscle strain or maybe a rotator cuff tear from my heavy backpack. they thought just because i was young, i couldn't be sick. i really related to dorothy's anger and frustration because i saw myself in her in that moment. and yeah, doctors don't seem to realize that they're as human as the rest of us and their bodies aren't infallible. for all they know, they could wake up tomorrow with an autoimmune disease like i did. that's why we need more compassion in healthcare and it's disappointing that this episode is roughly 30 years old and yet doctor's attitudes have hardly changed compared to today.
Easily one of the best three minutes on television - not on sitcom television, not on comedy television, ALL of television. This scene lives rent-free in my head as a reminder of solid writing, acting, pacing, and masterful emotional payoff.
I know Bea Arthur was more known for sarcasm and bluntness, but here as Dorothy I think they toned her down too much. Dr Budd didn't deserve politeness or tact, I sure wouldn't have been this tactful with some one this arrogant! I would've verbally laid him out like a bath towel! Good scene though despite the described issue. Of course, when Mrs Budd steps in, that was pretty funny though, D should've said the same, imo. I don't care about censorship or the PC b s in this case!
Can't even tell you how many doctors have tried to pull this crap with me (and I suspect that number will increase as I get older). I was literally laughed at as a hypochondriac in the ER when I went in with a nagging stomachache...I said, laugh away, but run the damn test. Good thing I insisted, as it turned out my appendix had ruptured. The Dr Budds of the world SUCK.
It’s unfortunate how some doctors can be.. I remember going to see my family doctor at age 16 to get help for what I now know is anxiety and depression. I was dismissed and told it was all an act to simply get out of going to school - despite being an honor roll student. Healthcare providers definitely need to listen to their patients. This episode was made 30 years ago, and it’s still a problem today.
You know that was very unpleasant of Dorothy to speak to the doctor like that. I mean can you imagine how embarrassed and humiliated he must've felt in front of his wife and all those people? Shame on you Dorothy....................AGH who am i kidding that was awesome, Dorothy rocks.
I remember watching this episode the first time and it was very very true what Dorothy said ! This show highlighted many issues before it’s time ! It always taught me to be kind and caring and to listen . Loved this show ❤️
Tottaly different, and yet similar situations... 0:49 - My boss put me through a very embarrassing situation, and made me feel like me working was just because he allowed me, granted me the chance. And I couldnt have it, just couldnt. I quit my job right there on the spot. Words couldnt express how I felt then. But even now... I dont hate him, I only feel pity for the students under the carge of such a tyranical and cinical man.
Valley Fire Yes, when you are introducing something like that you use a colon. A semicolon is mainly for separating independent clauses or distinguishing items on a list when each item contains commas.
Sad part is this was like 30 years ago and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients are still treated this way. Also I think the scene was meant to educate more than just the doctor, it was also aimed at the sceptical viewer about the reality of this illness. Many patients have family and friends that also don’t understand or believe them.
This episode always stuck w/ me. As a kid I was watching it in a re run, but in the summer after 4th grade my parents moved across town. They wanted a bigger home & bought in to our families 3 family house where my grandma & aunt lived. One aunt w/ her family was moving & my parents bought them out. So it was a better neighborhood but no kids around. Esp since we went to a private school I knew none of the few public school kids in the area. Where we used to live I at least was closer to the kids from my parochial school & the public school kids I'd already made friends w/ b4 I started school. So when we moved another aspect was my parents worked 9 to 5 jobs or longer til 7 sometimes so they had my grandma in her apt down stairs if we needed anything or to cook dinner . That summer my brother went to basketball camp where our cousins lived in upper state ny. I was all alone. Yea my grandma was downstairs but I missed all my friends where I grew up to 9 years old & my bro wasnt around. I'd have breakfast sometimes lunch w/ my grandma but then right back to our apt. I was so lonely suddenly I could not swallow food anymore. My parents were frantic b/c I stopped eating b/c I kept fearing I'd choke on food. I also started feeling like I could not breathe anymore. My mom took me to my pediatrician who ran all these tests for asthma for breathing & I had an MRI of my throat to see why I felt the " food was stuck " they thought maybe I had " webbing " they told my mom nothing was wrong w/ me. I freaked even at 9 b/c I just wanted something wrong so it could be fixed. This was 1990 so my parents never thought maybe me sitting alone an entire summer missing my friends that I was having a reaction to that. Mom took me to the dr again & he wrote in my notes which I looked at a few years ago as I have my medical records " take her for a psychological evaluation " she obviously didnt. I sorta wish she did but taking ur 9 year old to a shrink prob freaked her out b/c I wasnt " crazy " as the summer went on I was losing weight having anxiety started sleeping in bed w/ my parents it was so crazy. She took me one more time & she asked for a different pediatrician in the practice. Finally instead of being dismissed of a dr saying I needed a shrink this dr was kind & asked me & my mom if any big changes had happened. She told them we moved across town. He asked what I did all day I said nothing just watch tv or swim by myself . He told her he thought that was the problem that I was reacting to this change & being alone so much I was " getting in my head " the dr told her maybe u should put her in camp too. My mom was blaming herself that she thought it would be ok to leave me w/ grandma right down stairs. So as the summer ended & I started school my brother came home I suddenly was all better. I could eat & breathe fine. We all realized that I was having a reaction to moving & being alone all summer. I was distracted again at school. I started getting bigger so the next summer she made sure to send me to my cousins houses I had a lot of cousins I was close to so she made sure I was busy. Camp wasnt a big thing like it is today. They also just spent a lot of money buying a piece of the 3 family home. So since my brother was older they only had the money to send him to camp plus they had to save for our private school b/c my school district was horrible. So what is so funny is I was watching this episode the weekend before school started & it's so funny at 9 I could totally relate to dorothy. Ok our issues were different but the same in that what we had was not something tangible a dr could fix w/ medicine or see. Now chronic fatigue syndrome I think is what they call Epstein barre syndrome & is a recognized medical problem. Mine was psychological but totally normal. I wasnt crazy & their was a " cure " keep ur kid busy & not alone for 13 weeks. So to me I must thank the golden girls b/c no joke seeing this episode was exactly how my first dr treated me like I was a crazy child when I was just a lonely child who moved & missed being w/ other kids .
I hope they show this episode at every uni and med school in the world. There is something really horrible about doctors dismissing you for something you know isnt right.
Brava!!! More doctors need to hear this, more doctors need to understand this. 99% of them seem to have lost their humanity along the way. I wish for all of them what she wished for him -- it's more kind than what I had in mind.
This isnt just about a doctor its about all authority figures who are responsible for lives and abuse there power you have my respect for life bea Arthur Rip
This is real. It reminds me of my mom. Every doctor she had they would say she was fine. They would never listen. They would dismiss her. She has a good doctor now and I'm so happy. ❤
I so relate to this. When I was in grammar school, I had to get an exam every year in the nurse's office with the town doctor. The town doctor dismissed that I had a problem with my tonsils. I walked around like that for so many years until I was 12 years old. I never confronted that doctor, but I would like to one day.
1:59… I miss the days when more people held their loved ones responsible for their wrong more appropriately… In the real world, a woman would’ve bucked on Dorothy. No disrespect to the people who ride for their significant others… But, right is right. And, wrong is wrong. Sometimes “riding” for your loved ones is letting them know COMPASSIONATELY that they’re slipping, or, have slipped. Then, assuring them that they’re loved regardless, and, have support. A lot of people(maybe not all of them. But, you continually pray for those) would respond positively, and, proactively to that type of encouragement(I know I would)… Respect to those who agree, and, strive to live by that example. God first…
THIS! 13 long years KNOWING something was wrong with me only to be told it was all in my head.. it took a medical student to find my luekimia.. like HOW?! HOW DO YOU MISS THAT FOR 13 YEARS?!
Doctors just don't seem to care these days. It's all about the all mighty dollar to them. What needs to happen is that they need to be put through mandatary sensitivity training, because what Dorothy said was right, they lose their humanity.
I have severe epilepsy. I had it some what under control. I started having new seizures that I never had before and I was terrified and she literally gave no shits.I had 3 seizures in a row in the waiting room and they did nothing but send me downstairs. I'm so angry. I can relate to this. No one deserves this. It's hard. And she made me feel dumb. I felt guilty for seizing in her presence.
During this time, my mother, God rest her soul, also had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She slept all day and stayed up all night. She was always feeling like she had the flu and couldn’t get over it. I was about 9 yrs old. I was concerned about her but just thought she needed a nap. Her docs wouldn’t listen to her either. They just told her she was depressed and to take a pill. 🤷🏻♀️ Really sad. And my grandfather was a doc.-a baby doc, to be exact. He was better to her than most docs back then.
I can relate to this episode. Presently I’m suffering from back spasms. The usual painkillers that are used to help patients recover all contain lactose. I can’t take them because I’m allergic to dairy. Therefore anything containing lactose is only going to make matters worse. I have been to the doctor three times These past two weeks. Two out of the three they have prescribed medication’s that I cannot take due to lactose. The most recent one I even said right to his face does this contain lactose? When I got to the pharmacy, the pharmacist said oh you can’t take it it contains lactose. The level of anger I have right now is palpable.
God bless this show and it’s never ending timelessness. I just wish this particular instance wasn’t an experience shared 30+ years later. Instead I had to give 10 blood tests in two months, begging for a hysterectomy because I knew I had endometriosis. The symptoms lined up, and I had plenty of medical history including my bio-mom’s medical discharge from the navy for her endo. NOPE. JUST MAKING THINGS UP FOR DRUGS. CLEARLY.
When the woman said Louis who is this person I now saying a very tick off passant who is letting your husband boyfriend or fiancé have it for the bad service she got
If I could I would post this speech to the doctors, nurses, & clinics that fucked up, dismissed me/belittled me and didn't catch the Lyme Disease and 3 coinfections (Babesia, Bartonella, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) in time for me to not suffer the way I did and endure the physical and emotional damage the way I did.
I feel her...I had my ankle removed thru years of marathon running..doctors told me that I would heal and walk within a year and may spend my life in a wheelchair..I told the doctors, you know science but you don't know me. I was walking and healed within a month and working out , doctors were amazed and did a documentary on me but then labeled me bipolar manaic and demand I take 2000 mgs of meds which I refused..the psyche literally called the police on me during a session and they stuck me in a psyche ward for two months but I still refused the meds. My body, my choice.
This is your choice but don't let the fact that you had a bad experience with doctors blind you from good one. Prescribing strong meds and labeling someone a bipolar maniac is not a joke, they won't say this lightely. Maybe consult another doctor because in the end, you are the only one who will be suffering if you were correctly diagnosed, or if you have something near the spectrum of this illness (My cousin is bipolar, without his meds his health deteriorated suddenly and he never was able to go back to what he used to be). Good luck man.
Damien Bobby Jack thank you , but I saw people on those meds, they were heavily addicted and walked around dopey..I deal with my mania thru yoga and meditation.
hey, whoever is reading these comments, don't listen to the "yoga will heal your cancer" idiot. if you are struggling with mental health issues, get medication and start going to a therapist, if possible. this shit isn't a joke.
1:08 That line was so out of place. Duh, wife or girlfriend of the doctor, she's OBVIOUSLY A FORMER PATIENT OF HIS. Other than that silly line, I love this scene!
As a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder, I'm just waiting for getting at the same restaurant wit at least one of the doctors that told me I was a psychopath, histrionic, "normal" or something else, dismissing my actual diagnosis while taking my shoestring budget money at the same time.... 👿
I CAN'T be the only one who watched this entire exchange with only one thought: "Aw, man............he's not going to be getting any tonight, I GUARANTEE YOU!!!!!!!"
Relateable. If you are fat doctors will never take you seriously. Their answer will always be lose weight for whatever problem you are coming to them for. Once had a doctor tell me to stop eating cheeseburgers. I had just lost 20lbs by means of unhealthy disordered eating at the time. That just made cut more calories out until I was eating less than the nutritional needs of a toddler. A few years later was diagnosed with PCOS. A condition that can cause weight gain! Doctors: your patients might not want or need your diet advice. If they come to you with a hurt arm don't tell them to lose weight first in order to be treated.

The wife tells him to shut up because he did the same thing to her. Dr Budd tells Dorothy in New York, "change your attitude, maybe your hair color too. My wife is a totally different woman ever since she went blonde". Of course, she is depicted with blond hair. No doubt she understands Dorothy more than her husband ever will.

Seth Tubman Great analysis!!😊😊👍👍
I know
I wish I could say this to a few doctors who have done the same to me in my life
No, the harshest part was "Someday you're gonna be on the other side of the table."
Talk about killing him with kindnest

"Louis, who is this person?"
When he said “good” and her voice immediately solidified I read it as “I was gonna walk away but you said that shit.”
She was willing to back off if he had even a bit of humility, but because he was a dickhead she got her second wind. “Aight bet, we’re doing this now.”
Fucking love this show man
As someone with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, this scene will always get to me. It can be so hard to find doctors who take us seriously...
I actually dismissed a psychologist in a similar fashion and I'm so proud to say I learned it from Dorothy. Happened during the pandemic, she was supposed to have video appointments with me once every week, but she'd often skip several weeks with no explanation. It reached a point in which I genuinely stopped caring and didn't even message her anymore to confirm appointments, leading my mother (who had arranged the appointments) to talk to her and get the response that I was the one not contacting her, even though at one point she went an entire month confirming appointments and not showing up herself. I felt really proud when I messaged her and ended it all with "I hope that if you ever need a psychologist or any health professional, they're better professionals to you than you were to me."
Hands down Bea Arthur's greatest performace as Dorothy Zbornak. If you want an acting lesson, then here it is. She gives you comedy, drama, perfect timing and makes you really believe that her character went through the pain of this illness. A great scene is television history.
Incredible performer
As someone who gets dismissed by doctors because I’m a young woman who “shouldn’t have these problems because I’m young” this hit close to me. I loved it
"but I will", Bea had killer timing...rip (
1:58 - "Shut up, Louis."
The best moment of this scene.
Love me some Bea Arthur regardless.
This is so relatable. Dealt with this when trying to find a diagnosis for Endometriosis. After being in so much pain and being told that "it's probably all in your head" they reluctantly did my 1st of 3 laporoscopies. While still under anesthesia, the Dr told my Mom "I don't know how she was even walking around like that. Out of the 40 plus yrs of practicing medicine I've never seen a case that bad" I felt so relieved. I wasn't crazy! It wasn't all in my head! My internal organs literally had shifted from so much scar tissue. And even after 3 laporoscopies and having Stage 4 Endometriosis I still get dismissed by some Dr's as having "just a bad period" when for women who suffer from this understand it is SO much more than that. From those experiences, luckily between migraines and Trigeminal Neuralgia I learned to advocate for myself because if not, no one will. Some times you need to be the loudest voice in the room just to be heard and I'm ok with that
i so relate!!!
How are you now?
Thank you for your service to all of us. Every time a woman or any vulnerable patient advocates for themselves when they shouldn't have to, you bring us that much closer to the day when our health is valued and we are taken seriously on the first visit to the doctor. You're making the world better and I hope that your health improves now you finally have a proper diagnosis.
I saw this on Facebook and came here to reshare it with every woman I know. Endo, PCOS, vaginitis, ovarian cyst etc. We have to fight for help. Sending you all the love. Proud of you for fighting for yourself.
Infact, most women with endometriosis get almost no reassurance or are even acknowledged that they are suffering in pain.
I've suffered most of my life with severe endometriosis and the stories I could tell,could fill a book.
We still need to stand up to these arrogant, ignorant so called medical professionals and either tell them to listen or walk out if they don't believe us.
I've had to walk out many times.
It's a relief to find a Dr who believes me and supports me but they are few and far between.
Keep strong and never put up with any b.s. from anyone.
Jo.
"As angry as I am and as ANGRY as I always will be..." I love the clenched teeth on the second ANGRY! GO DOROTHY!
The series was so mature, funny, sincere.... One of the best shows ever.
I'm wondering if the actor playing "Dr. Budd" is wearing a toupee. If he is, that is one God awful men's hairpiece.
@@02chevyguy odd comment.
@@bradc7882no it isn’t
I've never actually watched this show, at least nothing more than bits and pieces of an episode, but someone posted this clip on Tumblr some time back, and I have to agree with them: this is a PERFECT representation of how invisible illnesses are treated.
Watch the show, it was well ahead of it's time and the writing/acting is brilliant
Yes! I post this in the lyme disease groups. Many of them get accused as well of faking, you don't look sick, etc. Even their own families! When they're riddled with chronic infections, suicidal and just want to be normal and not on disability. I know bc I have it too.
2:22-2:31 I love how in this scene, while Dorothy is angry, she still has the compassion in herself to point out that this doctor should rethink his attitude not just for her, but for other patients who could've just as easily been pushed aside as she was. "They need to be HEARD!"
thats what i love about this show, they really did tackle a lot of taboo subject among ts the laughts
The episode with Rose possibly having AIDS was definitely gutsy for its time, even if it took the safe route of contracting it through nonsexual means (DESIGNING WOMEN actually went there). But any discussion of it in the epidemic's earliest days was brave enough.
Eric Andrews I think Rose being affected was a strong point. So many then and now assume AIDS is for bad people. When it has no direction, AIDS is like bullets, it doesn't matter who it is. Just like Blanche says, when Rose questions why she would have to deal with having such a horrible disease.
We so need sitcoms like this again.
I love how his wife just tells him to sit down and *shut up* and listen.
This hits oh-too-close-to-home for me. For six years, I had baffling symptoms that no GP could seem to pinpoint. After about six months of going to multiple doctors, most of whom blew me of as a hysterical hypochondriac, Never mind how I had passed out on a street, or how I had felt like I was having a heart attack one day, it felt like every part of me inside was on fire, and it took me over an hour to get back to any kind of normalcy. But, nope, I was just a silly woman.
Fast forward six years. I was a late-life college student, and I couldn't even go up a flight of stairs without having to suck on an inhaler every few steps because I couldn't breathe. That night, I had the classic "elephant on the chest" pain, and went to an ER. The doctor said I wasn't having a heart attack, but thought something else, something serious, was going on. He referred me to a cardiologist. That guy got one look at me, and sent me to yet another ER, he suspected for congestive heart failure, but he admitted something about it didn't quite add up, let's find out what's going on. I was in the hospital for a week while they rain every test imaginable on me. At last, one test pointed him in a whole new direction. A simple test, one that any fricking doctor could have run for pennies on the dollar: a full thyroid panel. I had Graves Disease. I'd had it for year. That day I felt like I was dying for over an hour? I almost went into something called thyroid storm, when every system in the body goes fricking haywire. Most people die from it. And I'd been blown off, all that time..
Later, I started having bad symptoms that no woman my age should have, post-menopausal bleeding, and bad. One of my OTHER specialists, an endocrinologist no less, literally IGNORED my complaints about it. He didn't even acknowledge what I'd said!
Turned out I had uterine cancer. I fired that sexist piece of shit. LOUDLY. When I was leaving the clinic, and the receptionist tried to set up a followup appointment for me, I again got loud and said that wouldn't be necessary. Not after I'd just fired their doctor for almost killing me.--"I had cancer, and he ignored me. Not no but hell no will I ever see that murderous quack again! You're lucky I'm too sick and too tired to sue you into oblivion." They had at least 40 people in their waiting room, and all of them were paying rapt attention.
Nobody could deliver a line like Bea! Brilliant acting and top notch writing. Funny and mature without being vulgar..I can't tell you how many times tones I've binge- watched the entire series!
I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Three years ago I was moments away from suicide before a health professional FINALLy listened to me and was able to give me care and medication to help deal with the crippling pain, depression and anxiety that comes with these illnesses.
I aspire to be like Dorothy one day. She's sarcastic and funny as hell, but she can also get really serious when she wants to and she gives the most amazing speeches. The one she gave to Stan in the second episode was just as heart-wrenching.
Not only is Dorothy a great character but bea Arthur is a great actress it just 3 minutes she delivers comedy with excellent timing, a heartfelt speech which plays with different emotions whilst remaining to keep her grit and grace. Excellent scene
This episode really hits home for me because I’m sick and I’ve been to many many doctors that dismissed me and makes me feel I was crazy! Doctors don’t really know shit!
That's not entirely true. My doctor knew what he was doing whenever I visited him. He was really good to me whenever I was sick. Along with my brothers to.
It just depends on what kind of Doctor. Like how experienced they are.
TheNebulaXYZ very true. Like with all professions, there is a bad egg in every career.’
TowerClimber81 my mother can relate to this. She’s gone to doctors to help my sister who has ADHD, and they all told her she was a bad mom. It’s pretty terrible...
TheNebulaXYZ yeah. I’ve had good doctors, but we’ve also had really nasty doctors. But I think you’d be surprised how many bad doctors there are....
TowerClimber81 I hope you find out what you have, I have actually found out recently I have ME. Best of wishes
His wife/date probably told him to shut up and listen because he's an ass to her and other people outside of work.
On a personal note, this reminded me of what my grandma went through. Her doctor (a woman) she'd been seeing for years completely blew her off even though she was in pain - like she was faking it. My grandmother was dead a year later. It's been 4 years and I still feel like cursing that bitch out. Maybe I'll send her an email one of these days..
Something like this happened to me too, only at the ER. While it was not serious, I was very scared since I was 17/18, homeless, and very ill out of the blue.
I understand completely that patients who crave attention come in with fake/self-diagnosed illnesses all the time, and it's very annoying and time consuming, but it comes with the territory. Other people are simply scared and doctors never really know (or ask/try to find out why) their patients seem to be so scared. Maybe some doctors need to find a different profession? Just because you like practicing medicine doesn't mean you need to be a caregiver.
William Holmes my mom had a similar experience, not just personally, but with all of us. I have a little sister who has a lot of health problems and even has ADHD, but every time my mom went to the doctor, they always told her she was a bad mom who refused to discipline her kids. And she finally got a doctor who helped her solve the problem. I definitely think a doctor needs to be compassionate in order to work. I think if they cared more about the patient and less about the money, more proper healing could get done.
William Holmes, she probably told him to "Shut Up", because it happened to her!
That's right. "My wife became a blonde. She's a new woman." All you did was silence her anger with you and make her doubt herself. Dorothy just woke her back up.
*voice cracking* "I can't do this in a restaurant..."
"Good."
*voice steady as fuck* "But, I will!"
That's why i love this show...meanful scenes,touching scenes,And real situations but with humor ..... These days i'm taking care of my mother And i've meet a few doctors like this....Sad but True..Sorry but English ia not my First language.
“You dismissed me!”
This touched me
Love this scene. I think it was a brilliant choice for the doctors wife to tell him to shut up. A subtle women supporting each other moment.
Indeed. She understands in a way only another woman can just how insulting the way he treated Dorothy was, and Dorothy has just helped her see him for what he truly is. Of course she'll be her silent support in this situation.
“SHUT UP, LEWIS.” 😂
There are some lines only Bibi Besch can say. Yes you know her name. She was Dr. Carole Marcus, Captain Kirk's ex-wife in Star Trek 2 (the real one from the 80's).
As great as Dorothy was, the legendary moment is: "Shut up Louis."
BOOM! HE GOT KNOCKED OUT THERE
I feel this so much. My old dr kept dismissing me, making me feel like it was all in my head, and now this year from a specialist was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. It's so nice being told I'm not crazy, it's not in my head. Some Dr's really don't care. And some do.
She's got a point, doctors are functioning and breathing human beings too whose bodies eventually break down and/or get sick with age just like the rest of us. They themselves will eventually end up on an operating table at the other end of a knife. They better take their jobs seriously and show compassion because they just might end up with a doctor who's just as cruel/corrupt/selfish as they themselves were to their patients.
i have rheumatoid arthritis and the doctors didn't believe me for so long. they just wrote it off as muscle strain or maybe a rotator cuff tear from my heavy backpack. they thought just because i was young, i couldn't be sick. i really related to dorothy's anger and frustration because i saw myself in her in that moment. and yeah, doctors don't seem to realize that they're as human as the rest of us and their bodies aren't infallible. for all they know, they could wake up tomorrow with an autoimmune disease like i did. that's why we need more compassion in healthcare and it's disappointing that this episode is roughly 30 years old and yet doctor's attitudes have hardly changed compared to today.
Still love this scene! 2023, tell hi, Dorothy ❤
Easily one of the best three minutes on television - not on sitcom television, not on comedy television, ALL of television. This scene lives rent-free in my head as a reminder of solid writing, acting, pacing, and masterful emotional payoff.
Love her channel suit, very sharp.
Buford Blu indeed. very elegant
Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite scenes
I know Bea Arthur was more known for sarcasm and bluntness, but here as Dorothy I think they toned her down too much. Dr Budd didn't deserve politeness or tact, I sure wouldn't have been this tactful with some one this arrogant! I would've verbally laid him out like a bath towel! Good scene though despite the described issue. Of course, when Mrs Budd steps in, that was pretty funny though, D should've said the same, imo.
I don't care about censorship or the PC b s in this case!
Dorothy for 3 from downtown.... COUNT IT, it's good!
And wifey totally gets the assist.
Can't even tell you how many doctors have tried to pull this crap with me (and I suspect that number will increase as I get older). I was literally laughed at as a hypochondriac in the ER when I went in with a nagging stomachache...I said, laugh away, but run the damn test. Good thing I insisted, as it turned out my appendix had ruptured. The Dr Budds of the world SUCK.
Whoever wrote that scene deserves an Oscar! 🏆
Shout out the the women who told Dr. Bud to shut up and let Dorothy say what needs to be said
I never thought I'd see Bea Arthur and Bibi Besch allied on screen for three minutes, but here it is.
It’s unfortunate how some doctors can be.. I remember going to see my family doctor at age 16 to get help for what I now know is anxiety and depression. I was dismissed and told it was all an act to simply get out of going to school - despite being an honor roll student.
Healthcare providers definitely need to listen to their patients. This episode was made 30 years ago, and it’s still a problem today.
You know that was very unpleasant of Dorothy to speak to the doctor like that. I mean can you imagine how embarrassed and humiliated he must've felt in front of his wife and all those people? Shame on you Dorothy....................AGH who am i kidding that was awesome, Dorothy rocks.
Bra Arthur was a beautiful and amazing actress and she was so brave and didn’t look back
I remember watching this episode the first time and it was very very true what Dorothy said ! This show highlighted many issues before it’s time ! It always taught me to be kind and caring and to listen . Loved this show ❤️
Tottaly different, and yet similar situations...
0:49 - My boss put me through a very embarrassing situation, and made me feel like me working was just because he allowed me, granted me the chance. And I couldnt have it, just couldnt. I quit my job right there on the spot. Words couldnt express how I felt then. But even now... I dont hate him, I only feel pity for the students under the carge of such a tyranical and cinical man.
This show was so ahead of its time
DISMISSED! yes that is the word.
This show reminds me of how I like my hamburgers; well done.
Valley Fire Nice. You use a colon for this, not a semicolon.
A Colon? I will remember that. Thank you.
Valley Fire Yes, when you are introducing something like that you use a colon. A semicolon is mainly for separating independent clauses or distinguishing items on a list when each item contains commas.
I have CFS. It started two years ago. This scene makes me want to burst into tears
Sad part is this was like 30 years ago and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients are still treated this way. Also I think the scene was meant to educate more than just the doctor, it was also aimed at the sceptical viewer about the reality of this illness. Many patients have family and friends that also don’t understand or believe them.
This episode always stuck w/ me. As a kid I was watching it in a re run, but in the summer after 4th grade my parents moved across town. They wanted a bigger home & bought in to our families 3 family house where my grandma & aunt lived. One aunt w/ her family was moving & my parents bought them out. So it was a better neighborhood but no kids around. Esp since we went to a private school I knew none of the few public school kids in the area. Where we used to live I at least was closer to the kids from my parochial school & the public school kids I'd already made friends w/ b4 I started school. So when we moved another aspect was my parents worked 9 to 5 jobs or longer til 7 sometimes so they had my grandma in her apt down stairs if we needed anything or to cook dinner . That summer my brother went to basketball camp where our cousins lived in upper state ny. I was all alone. Yea my grandma was downstairs but I missed all my friends where I grew up to 9 years old & my bro wasnt around. I'd have breakfast sometimes lunch w/ my grandma but then right back to our apt. I was so lonely suddenly I could not swallow food anymore. My parents were frantic b/c I stopped eating b/c I kept fearing I'd choke on food. I also started feeling like I could not breathe anymore. My mom took me to my pediatrician who ran all these tests for asthma for breathing & I had an MRI of my throat to see why I felt the " food was stuck " they thought maybe I had " webbing " they told my mom nothing was wrong w/ me. I freaked even at 9 b/c I just wanted something wrong so it could be fixed. This was 1990 so my parents never thought maybe me sitting alone an entire summer missing my friends that I was having a reaction to that. Mom took me to the dr again & he wrote in my notes which I looked at a few years ago as I have my medical records " take her for a psychological evaluation " she obviously didnt. I sorta wish she did but taking ur 9 year old to a shrink prob freaked her out b/c I wasnt " crazy " as the summer went on I was losing weight having anxiety started sleeping in bed w/ my parents it was so crazy. She took me one more time & she asked for a different pediatrician in the practice. Finally instead of being dismissed of a dr saying I needed a shrink this dr was kind & asked me & my mom if any big changes had happened. She told them we moved across town. He asked what I did all day I said nothing just watch tv or swim by myself . He told her he thought that was the problem that I was reacting to this change & being alone so much I was " getting in my head " the dr told her maybe u should put her in camp too. My mom was blaming herself that she thought it would be ok to leave me w/ grandma right down stairs. So as the summer ended & I started school my brother came home I suddenly was all better. I could eat & breathe fine. We all realized that I was having a reaction to moving & being alone all summer. I was distracted again at school. I started getting bigger so the next summer she made sure to send me to my cousins houses I had a lot of cousins I was close to so she made sure I was busy. Camp wasnt a big thing like it is today. They also just spent a lot of money buying a piece of the 3 family home. So since my brother was older they only had the money to send him to camp plus they had to save for our private school b/c my school district was horrible. So what is so funny is I was watching this episode the weekend before school started & it's so funny at 9 I could totally relate to dorothy. Ok our issues were different but the same in that what we had was not something tangible a dr could fix w/ medicine or see. Now chronic fatigue syndrome I think is what they call Epstein barre syndrome & is a recognized medical problem. Mine was psychological but totally normal. I wasnt crazy & their was a " cure " keep ur kid busy & not alone for 13 weeks. So to me I must thank the golden girls b/c no joke seeing this episode was exactly how my first dr treated me like I was a crazy child when I was just a lonely child who moved & missed being w/ other kids .
I could relate this scene and Dorothy's words towards my dentist.
Omg, yesssss... thank you so so so much for sharing this!!!
I hope they show this episode at every uni and med school in the world. There is something really horrible about doctors dismissing you for something you know isnt right.
Brava!!! More doctors need to hear this, more doctors need to understand this. 99% of them seem to have lost their humanity along the way. I wish for all of them what she wished for him -- it's more kind than what I had in mind.
This isnt just about a doctor its about all authority figures who are responsible for lives and abuse there power you have my respect for life bea Arthur Rip
This is real. It reminds me of my mom. Every doctor she had they would say she was fine. They would never listen. They would dismiss her. She has a good doctor now and I'm so happy. ❤
I so relate to this. When I was in grammar school, I had to get an exam every year in the nurse's office with the town doctor. The town doctor dismissed that I had a problem with my tonsils. I walked around like that for so many years until I was 12 years old. I never confronted that doctor, but I would like to one day.
1:59… I miss the days when more people held their loved ones responsible for their wrong more appropriately… In the real world, a woman would’ve bucked on Dorothy. No disrespect to the people who ride for their significant others… But, right is right. And, wrong is wrong. Sometimes “riding” for your loved ones is letting them know COMPASSIONATELY that they’re slipping, or, have slipped. Then, assuring them that they’re loved regardless, and, have support. A lot of people(maybe not all of them. But, you continually pray for those) would respond positively, and, proactively to that type of encouragement(I know I would)… Respect to those who agree, and, strive to live by that example. God first…
Unfortunately, this happens to me all the time with pain management Dr.'s.
🙌🏾 Dorothy my forever fave
WOW Dorothy! Just WOW!
THIS! 13 long years KNOWING something was wrong with me only to be told it was all in my head.. it took a medical student to find my luekimia.. like HOW?! HOW DO YOU MISS THAT FOR 13 YEARS?!
Doctors just don't seem to care these days. It's all about the all mighty dollar to them. What needs to happen is that they need to be put through mandatary sensitivity training, because what Dorothy said was right, they lose their humanity.
I understand this so much..
Doctor Butt
I don't have chronic fatigue syndrome but I have endo and this speaks to me so much. Might be fiction but damn this golden girl is so on point.
I'm sat here cheering, I wish doctors would listen cause then I wouldn't be in a wheelchair
I have severe epilepsy. I had it some what under control. I started having new seizures that I never had before and I was terrified and she literally gave no shits.I had 3 seizures in a row in the waiting room and they did nothing but send me downstairs. I'm so angry. I can relate to this. No one deserves this. It's hard. And she made me feel dumb. I felt guilty for seizing in her presence.
I wish we could see the conversation, inn the car, while Dr. and Ms. Budd were returning home...
During this time, my mother, God rest her soul, also had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She slept all day and stayed up all night. She was always feeling like she had the flu and couldn’t get over it. I was about 9 yrs old. I was concerned about her but just thought she needed a nap. Her docs wouldn’t listen to her either. They just told her she was depressed and to take a pill. 🤷🏻♀️ Really sad. And my grandfather was a doc.-a baby doc, to be exact. He was better to her than most docs back then.
Go DORATHY💪🏽💜
CLASS!
Such a great scene.
Bravo Doherty, all doctors are the same.
Dr. Budd’s wife is Bibi Besch, Dr. Carol Marcus in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Yep, my Dr office in Gridley, Ca
SHADDUP LOUIS!!
I can relate to this episode. Presently I’m suffering from back spasms. The usual painkillers that are used to help patients recover all contain lactose. I can’t take them because I’m allergic to dairy. Therefore anything containing lactose is only going to make matters worse. I have been to the doctor three times These past two weeks. Two out of the three they have prescribed medication’s that I cannot take due to lactose. The most recent one I even said right to his face does this contain lactose? When I got to the pharmacy, the pharmacist said oh you can’t take it it contains lactose. The level of anger I have right now is palpable.
God bless this show and it’s never ending timelessness. I just wish this particular instance wasn’t an experience shared 30+ years later. Instead I had to give 10 blood tests in two months, begging for a hysterectomy because I knew I had endometriosis. The symptoms lined up, and I had plenty of medical history including my bio-mom’s medical discharge from the navy for her endo. NOPE. JUST MAKING THINGS UP FOR DRUGS. CLEARLY.
Wow, I can totally relate
Endometriosis in a nutshell.
As someone who suffers from a chronic pain disease that no one understands, I applaud this scene.
When the woman said Louis who is this person I now saying a very tick off passant who is letting your husband boyfriend or fiancé have it for the bad service she got
the terrible thing is drs still dismiss this illness in 2021 , a lot of us have medical ptsd because of this
When Dorothy is confronting Dr. Budd, he told her a lie. He said she can trust him.
i still wish you a better doctor than you were to me
If I could I would post this speech to the doctors, nurses, & clinics that fucked up, dismissed me/belittled me and didn't catch the Lyme Disease and 3 coinfections (Babesia, Bartonella, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) in time for me to not suffer the way I did and endure the physical and emotional damage the way I did.
Love this scene, but it appears that Bea is maybe reading her lines from cue cards?
I feel her...I had my ankle removed thru years of marathon running..doctors told me that I would heal and walk within a year and may spend my life in a wheelchair..I told the doctors, you know science but you don't know me. I was walking and healed within a month and working out , doctors were amazed and did a documentary on me but then labeled me bipolar manaic and demand I take 2000 mgs of meds which I refused..the psyche literally called the police on me during a session and they stuck me in a psyche ward for two months but I still refused the meds. My body, my choice.
This is your choice but don't let the fact that you had a bad experience with doctors blind you from good one. Prescribing strong meds and labeling someone a bipolar maniac is not a joke, they won't say this lightely. Maybe consult another doctor because in the end, you are the only one who will be suffering if you were correctly diagnosed, or if you have something near the spectrum of this illness (My cousin is bipolar, without his meds his health deteriorated suddenly and he never was able to go back to what he used to be). Good luck man.
Damien Bobby Jack thank you , but I saw people on those meds, they were heavily addicted and walked around dopey..I deal with my mania thru yoga and meditation.
hey, whoever is reading these comments, don't listen to the "yoga will heal your cancer" idiot. if you are struggling with mental health issues, get medication and start going to a therapist, if possible. this shit isn't a joke.
1:08 That line was so out of place. Duh, wife or girlfriend of the doctor, she's OBVIOUSLY A FORMER PATIENT OF HIS. Other than that silly line, I love this scene!
how the hell can u even tell?
As a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder, I'm just waiting for getting at the same restaurant wit at least one of the doctors that told me I was a psychopath, histrionic, "normal" or something else, dismissing my actual diagnosis while taking my shoestring budget money at the same time.... 👿
1:59 “shut up Lewis”
I CAN'T be the only one who watched this entire exchange with only one thought: "Aw, man............he's not going to be getting any tonight, I GUARANTEE YOU!!!!!!!"
landyachtfan79 sigh
I am thinking she might be calling a lawyer after this, too.
Relateable. If you are fat doctors will never take you seriously. Their answer will always be lose weight for whatever problem you are coming to them for. Once had a doctor tell me to stop eating cheeseburgers. I had just lost 20lbs by means of unhealthy disordered eating at the time. That just made cut more calories out until I was eating less than the nutritional needs of a toddler. A few years later was diagnosed with PCOS. A condition that can cause weight gain! Doctors: your patients might not want or need your diet advice. If they come to you with a hurt arm don't tell them to lose weight first in order to be treated.

Dorothy had depression in this episode right?
I also can relate this too
It was Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
@@jonathanwashington6083 i dont hav CFS,but i had mental illnesses
