"inappropriate requests of staff" truly a horrible read
really interesting account full of some of the worst shit I've ever read though 
I was threatened with a psych hold as a kid and they told me I better consent to it otherwise it’ll be involuntary and ruin my future. Seems like every other MD is a complete and utter sociopath.
This is why I’m not going to see one in this country for anything other than bleeding out. I’m not spending hundreds of dollars just for a one minute conversation that ends with them telling me to fuck off while they joke with their colleagues about me being ugly or whatever.
About a year ago they figured out that 1 in 10 covid infections that were aquired in a hospital resulted in death, maybe that's improved since, but of course they stopped tracking hospital aquired infections last year.
We are killing off the most vulnerable (and most expensive to keep healthy) population. Solving the "social security crisis" by making sure we are all dead before we can retire.
I really believe the only way to fix the rift in society created by covid is to have covid Nuremberg trials. Every governor, most mayors, and most elected members of federal and state governments, must be executed if we live in what can in any way be considered a moral society.
Most hospital administrators and university presidents would be on that list too. Bar and restaurant owners maybe shouldn’t be shot for their part, we’ll give them the mercy of just taking their businesses and any other assets and maybe a couple years in prison.
See the problem with carrying out a communist revolution in the US is that 25% of the population would have to be shot while 50% would have to go into the gulags. The other 25% is going to have to all work in the gulags.
It's just not sustainable.
why would someone who believes this be a communist
I don’t really believe it but it is a funny bit
full agreement here comrade. mass murder is mass murder, regardless of how it is carried out. everyone with power should face the wall for what they've done (and continue to do)
This is really horrible and I hope she finds a lawyer who can handle this immediately. She needs to sue the shit out of them.
If she has time, energy, and resources to. Most people don't have time for litigation, even when it's appropriate, she seems to be focusing on her health nonstop as it is.
This seems like something an enterprising lawyer can take pro-bono to build his brand even if he loses
But yeah, it sounds like yet more bullshit in this poor woman's life either way
hmmm surely this will make people trust doctors and hospitals more
she's still suffering a migraine
Even from the point of view of the assholes that wouldn't wear masks, solving her migraine would have gotten her home by the hour and the situation would have been resolved for everyone
Yeah, but that's not really how being in the ER works, and how dare she remind them there's an ongoing pandemic.
Even so-called progressive nurses and docs test my patience tbh. Their favorite pastime is complaining online about their patients and labeling literally anyone in pain a drug addict. Their god complex makes them shameless.

I understand that the opioid crisis is a big problem and painkillers have been overprescribed, but I also don’t really think doctors should deny people painkillers pretty much ever.
If people are addicts and not actually in pain, okay? How’s that your fucking problem? Give them education and narcan along with their pills and stop fucking whining.

The number of overdoses and number of prescriptions have a negative correlation though

Ah so the one thing that makes me hesitate to say “You should just prescribe people painkillers when they ask for them” isn’t even true!
Pretty tru honestly. Like who are you to personally take their addiction away? I don’t care if you went to medical school that just means you should know better than anyone what happens when you keep and addict clean by force.
Exactly. I’ll even grant that there’s a place for rehabs to deny people drugs and even to force people to get clean against their will. I’m not gonna say “No addiction isn’t real and we should fully let addicts make their own choices no matter how destructive.” But hospitals and other doctors when that’s not the main issue at hand can fuck all the way off.
I think this both on a fundamental moral ground of “why do you get to make that choice for them?” but also for logistical reasons. Because of this disgusting behavior by doctors, patients are afraid of being seen as “drug seeking” even if they aren’t addicts, and will lie about pain and drugs to make sure they aren’t denied.
I have a weird genetic thing that means some oral opioids don’t work for me. I don’t have enough of whatever enzyme turns the precursor molecules in the pill into the actual active painkiller. When I had appendicitis it was so frustrating trying to tell the doctors “the new painkillers you gave me aren’t working, this hurts really fucking bad, you have to give me more dilaudid” without them just looking at me like a junkie. Motherfuckers one of my organs is exploding! Give me the heroin!
United states of America everybody! What a literal shithole
AMERICA IS BACK
