The Art of Conversation
By Adam Widdison, author of The Expert Clinician A consultation is, at its heart, a conversation—but not an ordinary one. It is a purposeful exchange in which the patient and the healthcare professional (HCP) are both trying to understand something, and each holds information the other needs. Treating patients as people with a problem from the first moment is essential if we are to deliver compassionate care. The opening of the consultation establishes the aims and initial focus.

Demography Beyond Age: Understanding Sex, Gender Identity, and Ethnicity
My work explores how we can sharpen our thinking and performance in the demanding realities of modern clinical practice. Demographic information often provides our first glimpse into the circumstances, experiences, pressures and risks that shape a patient’s life. Used thoughtfully, it offers valuable context, helping us understand not only what may be happening medically but also how best to communicate, support decision-making and tailor care to the individual sitting in front of us.

CW: GenderQuest phase 1 complete -- see display name
Phase 1 of my #GenderQuest is complete. I have realized I am a woman, contrary to what I believed for 56 years and change. For now, I'm sticking with my the name I've gone by all my life, "Pat," as perhaps the most androgynous (shortened) given name in the English-speaking Western world.
This toot is the first public component of my transition.
No element of medical transition can or will ever happen due to my physical health, even aside from other barriers, and that's fine.
I don't yet know where GenderQuest will go from here. Presentation, shapewear, name and/or pronouns in different settings, I just don't know. I'll probably start shaving my face for the first time in over twenty years.
But I don't have to know. This is good for now.
Thank you all my friends for your support, to date and ongoing.

[Petition] Black & #Transgender Lives Lost to Medical Neglect: Demand Justice in MA Hospitals!
The Issue
"My name is And Steiner. I am a Queer, gender-diverse patient that has been hospitalized in Massachusetts' (MA) Department of Mental Health (#DMH) hospitals for four years because of severe suicidality with suicide attempts.
"During that time, I have endured three attempts by DMH to suddenly discharge me from treatment without appropriate support, a practice known as '#PatientDumping'. This usually occurs when insurance has denied coverage or a patient has become a legal liability and often proves deadly, as you will see in this petition.
"While under DMH’s care, I have learned of at least two cases of serious medical neglect, and one suspected, which resulted in patient deaths. #HaywoodEarl was a Black man who died 'a painful and untimely death' from medical neglect at #LemuelShattuck Hospital, according to an investigation by #DisabilityLawCenter. Disability Law Center also investigated the death of #CaSonyaKing (pictured), a Black woman who they concluded 'died needlessly' from being 'patient dumped" from a #PsychiatricHospital. It is suspected that #JeanBusch, a transgender patient at Lemuel Shattuck, died similarly. All minorities. All died needlessly.
"When I learned of their deaths I was affected deeply. I reported Jean's death to DMH Authority, Attorney General Campbell and Governor Maura Healey in Jan 2023.
"Despite being under no criminal investigation, as punishment for reporting Jean's death, I was illegally and forcibly transferred to a dangerous forensic ward with no due process. There I experience 15 months of relentless physical #assaults, as well as verbal and sexual #harassment, often directly related to my sexual orientation and #GenderIdentity."

#History-making #trans #rabbi wants young people to find #joy and ‘#spiritual #connection’
When he came out during his #rabbinical #studies, #ElliotKukla was told he would “never get a #job as a #rabbi”. Now, as a #spiritualleader, he wants #trans and #nonbinary #youth to feel the same #joy and ‘#spiritualconnection’ to their #identities as he did.

A #lawsuit filed in #federalcourt Tuesday calls a transgender woman's #pretrialdetention in #Maryland #cruelandunusual. Despite her #femininity and #genderidentity as a #woman, Ms. Gilliam was forced to #live and #shower with #male #inmates at the Baltimore jail, the law firm said. "During this time, she was #harassed by both #officers and #inmates and ultimately #sexuallyassaulted by another #inmate," and the jail did nothing when she reported the rape.

#Women’s #panel seeks #action against ‘#conversiontherapy #training’ targeting #LGBTQIA+ #community
A #Tirupati-based #organisation had #advertised a training program on treating 47 ‘#psychosomaticdisorders’, and listed #homosexuality, lesbianism, #transvestism among them.
Conversion therapies are #pseudoscientificpractices, targeting the LGBTIQA+ into changing their #SexualOrientation, #GenderIdentity and #GenderExpression.
