next specialist to refuse testing or blame my maladies on my anxiety or weight despite me asking (begging, at this point) for further testing/a differential diagnosis is getting hit with the “document your refusal in my chart.” no i am not “taking it one step at a time” no i am not accepting “you’re just anxious” or “you’re just overweight” as an answer. you are going to be a FUCKING DOCTOR and treat me. fuck you.
this is ok to reblog btw, i Encourage people in similar situations to express their anger. you deserve better we all fucking deserve better. no more being afraid of making them upset or angry. THEY make us suffer and want to die with their negligence. whatever discomfort we bring them by demanding documentation doesnt mean SHIT compared to what we go through.
rise up my disabled siblings, we have nothing to lose but a shitty fucking doctor.
I’ve never done the “document refusal to treat” thing, but I have a good hack for this which is:
“I understand, but I’m not convinced. Can you recommend someone to offer a second opinion?”
NOBODY likes to have their work checked by a colleague. Any time I’ve done this, the person I was speaking to backpedaled and began to offer alternatives. Even outside of the medical establishment. Bank loan officers, for example, or the occasional customer service agent.
I like doctors, I’m friends with several, but they’re people like everyone else. Sometimes a person just needs their context reframed.
honestly the human brain is so small that you *will* forget how much beauty there is out there to experience unless you leave your house every three days. ik its fucked up but i promise its true
im always like hehe im so smart i will avoid shame by never doing anything ever but then i feel ashamed of not living and it turns out i didn’t escape any sort of discomfort i just traded it in for a less rewarding kind
hey netizens! i’m not sure how many people are aware, but youtube’s been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can’t be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you’re a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!
