YTA claims IUD caused infertility, sparks family drama

“Ah so you’re a doctor! That’s great! I’ve been having some issues lately maybe I can send you a dm and you can tell me what I did wrong? Since it seems so easy for you to diagnose people. Jk, I’m not American my healthcare is almost free. Are you American? Is this what happens when healthcare isn’t free, like family members being a**holes while diagnosing other family members? You have no idea why she’s having trouble conceiving. Zip it and be supportive. YTA”
