CW: Medical scheduling mess
So the specialist have rescheduled his next visit yet again, without my spouse's consent or at least tried to, this time he at least got an email we both understood to be yet another incident of this pattern of ADA & overall attempts to invalidate the basic rights of people who aren't in inpatient care, to control their own schedules in visiting Dr's. He emailed back to refuse the newest date as at this point it's a refusal of theirs to provide the service of said physician..
After last night's rains, that kept us up most of the night, neither of us really have the strength to handle a local clinic visit, so as shitty as their system is, we used their general online contact form, to message our cancelation & request of reschedule via email.
*Patient portals at neither set of Dr's offer scheduling via using said portals, so our request for emails & not portal use isn't at all hampering scheduling. The fact that they still somehow don't seem to have it register as anything but an attitude problem of ours, that we can't use voice calls to schedule & reschedule visits, rather than their not granting said reasonable accommodation of email use, is a major & continual problem.
The specialist clinic being really intollerably bad because whenever they screwup, by changing the schedule yet again & not informing us of this until we've arrived to try & checkin, they've cost us about 1.5 hours of time & 1.25 gallons of gas just to drive there, park & get from an on campus parking garage spot to their actual office, with travel on my spouse for that distance & time not being very easy lately. Yes....sometimes we've the energy to stopoff around 1/2 way back for a store trip beyond often needing to eat out to avoid seizure issues on the exhaustion, but that doesn't make the setup anymore sensible to continue. The very reason we're going there is because they're supposedly the closest place that'll treat his issues, which likely are largely responsible for how little energy he has to begin with, but for care to be possible the Dr actually has to show up for when we've scheduled an appointment with them & not have nurses trot out what amounts to my mind to a long excuse set over the reality of
"we will not treat you unless you're a pair of people who'll gladly hop to answer any & all our phone calls, continually change your schedule in whatever ways we find convenient and accept our word as we pass along second hand, the easier for us to manage & track treatment methods from the Dr, to avoid you bothering them with more visits."#ADA #DisabilityAccessibility #MedicalCare #Communication #Anemia

We follow BC news since our closest family lives there now, and we’re heartbroken for the Tumbler Ridge community! The compassion and grace of this injured girl’s mom, who formerly babysat the individual who shot her daughter and the others, speaks volumes. "Edmonds says she watched the single mother, who she said worked long shifts at a nearby mine, fight to help her child. 'People are trying to politicize what this is about,’ Edmonds said 'It's not about guns. It's not about [being trans] ... It's about mental health. It's about a lack of resources.'” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/tumbler-ridge-bc-shooting-victim-parents-maya-gebala-9.7087967

Not all anger is bad, but every anger needs control.

The fellow who wrote 'The Trouble with Tribbles' and a lot of other SF has leukaemia, and lives in the US, and so, naturally, has a GoFundMe to help him pay the medical bills. Fuck this place, and if you can afford it, send him some dosh to help.
He's also offering up some titbits of writing to make up for it.
