Dr. Rachel Rubin

That is the most incredible thing.

They just believe themselves because they've been gaslighting themselves.

They've been gaslighting themselves.

They're like, well, surely this is in my head because I've seen 10 doctors.

And that's the magic, right?

Have they been told that everything looks normal?

All the time.

And in fact, I had a patient recently who had a vestibule pain and she had been to vestibule doctors and pelvic floor physical therapists and nobody could, she said, no one ever finds my pain on exam.

She says, you're never going to find my pain on exam.

And I said, oh my gosh, okay, let's look and let's do it.

And I found her pain on exam and she looked at me like I was some kind of wizard.

Right.

And she didn't even believe it.

She had the mirror and she's like, oh, my God, you're going to believe me.

You're going to be the first one to believe me.

Of course, I believe you.

Your story makes perfect sense.

Your exam makes perfect sense with what's going on with you.

Again, I joke that I'm a sex detective.

Right.
