I'd respond back that a person stuck walking on a narrow ledge seems fine, too. Nevermind that the slightest push could destroy everything. Nevermind that the wind can be pretty strong up there and it never seems to stop. Nevermind that the person may have only just now realized that not everybody lives their whole lives fighting to keep their balance, and that they actually can reach out for help.

Imagine if rescuers finally arrived and said, "They've made it this far. They must be fine," and left. How heartless would that be considered?

I wish I were surprised to hear that a woman's experiences were dismissed by medical professionals. Unfortunately, I understand it all too well. I've developed an annoying habit of explaining things that nobody asked about, in anticipation of being treated with mistrust. It's yet another habit on the long list of things I have to be perpetually mindful of whenever I'm interacting with anybody (except my closest friends, who by and large are fellow ADHD/autists.)
