The TV at my GP clinic said women tend exaggerate their pain.

I was in the waiting room at my GP clinic. They have a television there and it is programmed to display health related media from a company called Tonic.

I was watching it on and off (I waited over an hour) when something caught my attention - chronic pain.

They literally said that women experience severe and chronic pain at a higher rate than men, but the most common reason for that was patient "exaggeration".

Thankfully my GP is lovely, but WHAT IN THE FUCK! There are studies that detail the cause and effect of this bias and the belief that the difference in chronic pain exists because women exaggerate is so harmful. It's disgusting those beliefs are being pushed by a TV in a GP clinic.

Do I complain or let it go?

Edit: I don't have enough in me to reply to you all individually, but I did read your comments and I appreciate your feedback on the situation. I should have said something at the time but I was just in disbelief (and I'm a bit cowardly). I don't know how to show proof of what I heard and saw, but I'll do my best to address the content from Tonic with my GPs management and Tonic itself (although I doubt Tonic will care). I liked the suggestion of nature images being displayed so I think I'll suggest that as an alternative too. These horrible perceptions need to die and you're right that saying something is a tiny step forward.
