#healthcare-system — Public Fediverse posts

UPMC called to follow up on the glowing review I left for one of their staff. A sharp, kind young woman who actually gave a damn.

Instead they got to hear me explain that it took five months and two denials to get the first mental health medication that's made me feel better in over a decade.

She was great. The system she works in is not.

Minnesota’s largest pediatric system restarts gender-affirming care for trans minors

@fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!

In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.

I feel

towards the Czech regime.

For the e-prescription, which is IMO another dysfunctional failure of the 4th world "health" system of Czech regime, I made a fill-it-out-yourself paper form. The doctor is obliged to give you at least the e-prescription code on "paper form" under a fine up to 2 000 000 CZK ($90 909). So you can ask the doctor to fill it in, then you can fill in the dosage, duration and usage rules information as the doctor explains and ask in pharmacies for the remaining information.

I get a compounding pharmacy prescription whose composition I got neither on the printed physician's report, nor in the e-prescription information, nor written on the package by the pharmacy.

IMO 4th world snake oil patent medicine.

Happy to hear the last health minister was kicked out in elections with his political party spectacularly.

I feel

s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech🇵🇭*) regime.

*) It's actually Philippine flag and not Czech🇵🇭 flag. I use it because the Czech regime has a thoughtcrime regarding the Czech🇵🇭 flag so I use a similar looking flag which is provably not the Czech🇵🇭 flag, so that the Czech🇵🇭 regime cannot retaliate for criticism or dissent via lawfare. I also feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech🇵🇭 regime for this.

Friend: lung doctor: waiting 1 month.
Me: skin doctor: waiting 4 months.
Me: dentist: phoning for 2 months before I find a dentist who is available and not corrupt, not violating the law and not illegally refusing to do insurance-paid dental fillings, which they are obliged to do by law.

This is the real state of Czech Republic, EU🇪🇺 's "health" system as experienced by its users and citizens.

I feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech regime when we have such experience.

For two years, the system misdiagnosed my Akathisia as "panic." The truth? A chatbot identified the drug overdose, forcing me to become my own advocate.

Our #healthcaresystem in #manitoba is in a complete shambles, and the health care minister just keeps trying to placate with promises and meetings and committees.

People need help NOW!

Hi everyone. How are you tonight?

It’s been a rough few months, and I wanted to share an update since I haven’t posted in a while.

A few months ago, I was officially diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, something we’ve suspected for a while, so it was nice to finally get confirmation. My rheumatologist started me on Methotrexate, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse.

I was prescribed 6 tablets once a week and took them for 6 weeks. But I started getting extremely sick with flu-like symptoms, worsened gastroparesis, painful sores all over my body, and more. When we looked up Methotrexate side effects, I had around 20 of the ones that say to seek medical attention immediately.

We later found out that, due to my other health conditions, I should never have been prescribed Methotrexate in the first place. I also should’ve been monitored weekly, which wasn’t happening. Things got so bad we nearly went to the hospital several times, but since I’m immunocompromised and Methotrexate suppresses the immune system, we were afraid I’d catch something in the ER.

We tried contacting my doctors, but no one responded. So we stopped the medication ourselves. It’s been about 3 weeks since I stopped, and I’m still recovering, but I’m slowly getting stronger. Unfortunately, my RA is flaring badly in my hands and feet since it’s currently untreated.

A few days ago, I did end up going to the hospital because I wasn’t improving. They found my blood sugar was dangerously high, diagnosed me with diabetes, gave me fluids, and discharged me. Ironically, I started feeling better the next day. Now we’re unsure if I truly have diabetes or if it’s a lingering effect of the Methotrexate, which can mess with blood levels.

I was so sick I had to take a C in my theology course because I couldn’t finish the final paper, and I had to drop the next class I was supposed to start. My next course begins August 25, and I’m doing everything I can to be well enough to take it.

This whole experience showed me how broken my care coordination is. My primary care doctor didn’t know what was happening and wasn’t communicating with my other specialists. No one was checking my chart to make sure treatments wouldn’t conflict with my other conditions. I have a meeting next week with my Medicaid service coordinator to talk about better coordinated care and possibly enrolling in dual Medicare/Medicaid, which I’ve been told I qualify for.

This could have killed me. I’m grateful to be alive and slowly healing, but I’m also angry and frustrated that this happened at all.

Thanks for reading. I appreciate all of you.
