During the 1980s in some health-care settings in the UK an acronym started appearing in medical notes, or rather, in women's medical notes: TATT CC AAO. Many doctors were trying to get the “tired all the time, can’t cope, aching all over” patients out of their consulting rooms as quickly as possible. This shorthand betrayed the medical system's bias and a hubristic resistance to engage with these patients’ symptoms. The overlap of exhaustion, pain, and distress still leaves women vulnerable to different, and inadequate, care.
