I wanted to pull this out of adjacent topics and focus on women's pain management.
It's abysmal and even more stark for minority women. Anecdotal, but Mr. Cosmic and I both had (different) surgeries in the same month some years ago. We both received the same pain prescription. I got three days, no refill. He got a week, 1 refill.

"From heart disease to IUDs: How doctors dismiss women’s pain"
Reproductive pain management is particularly awful, pregnant or not.
Fibroids, IUDs (coming and going), menstrual cramps, child birth, miscarriage, biopsies, and on and on.
They gave Mr. Cosmic a local for a damned splinter removal in his foot, y'all. The man walks on callouses. I swear he doesn't feel Legos.
PS. I do not want to take away his pain management. I'd just like the same consideration. 🤷
