    So sorry you dealt with this.

    Related/unrelated, I had my wisdom teeth extracted by an intern (went as well as you expect), who butchered the situation and left me in the ER. Genuinely felt like I was dying. Bless those doctors though as they did fix me up without any money out of pocket (or ever which I'll always have guilt for). After the medical bills started coming in, "helpful friends" kept saying "this is just a lawsuit, you'll win in a heartbeat"

    Which, cool! Except no lawyer would work with me without a hefty down payment (unsure if that's the term). So I was just fucked. For 7 years, I dodged phone calls and had shit credit.

    The system sucks for poor people. And I sympathize so much with non-rich trans folks, for whom treatments/surgeries just aren't an option.

      yeah i have nerve damage from one procedure and all the medical tests i'd need to legally prove i have nerve damage would exceed 5k and then i'd have to pay legal fees, stress out, hope i win the case, and then if i win all i'd get is nerve damage test costs+legal fees+the money to cover a new surgery to deal with nerve damage (WHICH INCLUDES YOUR INSURANCE :agony-consuming: )

      whoever thought our legal system should function like a fucking gambling machine should be redacted
