The stories shared in the comments regarding endometriosis and similar conditions are a powerful reminder of the real pain behind these medical dismissals. I have been spending my time documenting these experiences to ensure that when we eventually present this request, the human impact is impossible to ignore.
April 26, 2014
Seeing the momentum grow around this request confirms that the frustration felt by so many is both valid and shared. It is clear that people are ready for a serious acknowledgment of these chronic conditions. This growing consensus encourages me to remain diligent as we prepare the next steps for delivery.

Apology is insufficient. Please have Dr. Camran Nezhat and Dr. Ken Sinervo on your show to help set the record straight about women's health. Take this as an opportunity to revolutionize/improve medical awareness

I am beyond disappointed by Dr. Drew's comments which were not only demeaning but also negligent as a medical professional.

To state that endometriosis is a "garbage bag" diagnosis is ignorant and demeaning. The 176 million women suffering across the globe deserve an apology.

Drew, you are way out of line with this. I endured many years of endo, since I was 15 years of age. My drs. Would tell me it was all in my head, even though there is a family history of endo in my family. It took 15 years to get properly diagnosed because of quacks like you saying that it's all in our heads. I hope you get educated.

Dr. Drew, your comments on endometriosis are insulting and ignorant. Those of us who have suffered infertility, extreme physical pain, and sometimes multiple surgeries deserve a sincere apology that does not include you denying what you clearly said.

Dr Drew is a sexist, bigoted, jumped up problematic arsehole who should be banned from tv and from practicing. His opinions are damaging to vulnerable people.
