Often said by old creepy men, this phrase means that the person it is spoken to or about, is so gorgeous that the creepy man can hardly hold their temptation.
This phrase in its nature is enforcing rape-culture and one of those phrases that can slide by under the radar if you don’t stop to think about it.

Definition 1 (Concise / Popular Use):
When a medical institution, healthcare provider, or system withholds, omits, or deliberately excludes critical medical records, information, or care, leading to harm, neglect, or denial of rights.

Definition 2 (Formal / Academic Use):
A systemic pattern where healthcare professionals fail to document, acknowledge, or accurately represent the concerns, symptoms, and advocacy of patients — disproportionately harming vulnerable populations such as

An event which doctors have consensually denied possible because A) they have never seen it, B) they don't know how to make it happen, and C) it does not fit within the narrow guidelines of their practice, which are in place to keep patients where they are.
The patient had been diagnosed with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, told that she would never walk again, classed as "non-ambulatory" for insurance purposes, issued a steel leg brace and a motorized scooter. Dutifully, she did not walk, or try to, for two decades. With the help of someone who believed that a miraculous medical reversal was possible, the day came when she walked into her neurologist's office on her own feet, without the scooter, without the leg brace. Her doctor responded with total refusal of acknowledgement. His practice, after all, was described as "maintenance", not cure, and what the hell was this.
