    CW: UCLA sexual abuse trial

    "The renowned UCLA gynecologist, who at one point was one of the highest paid physicians employed by the school, was indicted in 2021 on multiple counts each of sexual battery by fraud, sexual exploitation of a patient and sexual penetration of an unconscious person by fraudulent representation. The charges were linked to the sexual assaults of seven women between 2009 and 2018."

    CW: Medical gaslighting, medical abuse(?), PH-, MH-

    So I go to the doctor with documentation and data (self-administered NASA Lean Test, showing textbook POTS), and also same data when tested during the appointment, yet got sent away with nothing.

    The doctor said he acknowledged that the physiology and symptoms matched, and that I'm clearly being affected by it daily, but he wouldn't refer me anywhere, because "there's no point, since there's no treatment within the Danish system", which is a straight up lie.

    So no referral to tilt table test, no cardiology, no neurology. Nothing... This is the 2nd time I've tried raising this issue - which at this point is causing me to have to lay down for hours a day, to recover - and both times I've been rejected (and both times by a man).

    I'm at a loss at this point. I can keep doctor hopping, to try and find someone who will actually help me, but every time I switch, it counts against me.

    ‘The Sleep Room’ is the harrowing story of psychiatric care in the 1960s

    In the 1960s, a hospital in London held a ward full of women who suffered from a range…

    The abusive system is designed to protect and perpetuate itself.

    From an old 2020 Facebook post:

    I can open up a bit about my mental health care themed post from Friday:
    .
    .
    On Friday, the therapist I have virtual counseling with through Brave Space LLC, listened to me telling them about what happened to me at the Urologist office two weeks ago. After hearing months of my accounts of medical abuse, gaslighting, and negligence, she voiced an opinion (with a tone of authority) that doctors are not prejudice against, or trying to harm Disabled people. She said to me, "that is not your story". When I broke down into tears, she couldn't connect the dots, so I told her about my 2 friends in nursing care who were literally begging for help on social media before they died. My therapist still did not think that the medical establishment is eugenicist and actively tries to kill disabled people. Again she told me " that's not your story".
    .
    This is strike 3 from Brave Space.
    .
    They may be great for non-disabled queer and trans people. But for disabled, Chronically-ill queer and trans people they miss the mark. I donno maybe that is just *my* story, and I should stop blaming others for my problems.
    .
    As I wrote before, I give up on mental health care.

    Warning: I received care this week at UPMC Mercy campus, Locust street, Uptown, Pittsburgh. I was repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed. When my PCP went back to check my chart, he found that they had changed my gender to F and my name too.

    That's right: They changed my medical chart! Top it off: I'm NOT female; I am AFAB, Intersex, and calling me female is a dangerous misrepresentation! I am beyond freaked out by this. Fortunately, my PCP is after them.

    If you're a #doctor who refuses to treat someone on the basis of their #SexualOrientation, you should immediately and irrevocably lose your license to practice #medicine. Medical #ethics demand that doctors not deny care to patients on the basis of natural characteristics outside the control of the #patient.

    Porting over from Twitter, a call to action from the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, for New York state Residents.

    Get Andre's Law back in motion in state legislature to stop sending kids out of state to a school that uses electroshock on them

    Yes, electroshock. in 2023.

    NY is main state sending students there. Use in-state is illegal, sending kids out of state to a facility using it is not.

    Change that.

    Ok, I'm going to put this as mildly as possible because no-one has glanced at my CW'd posts, but I don't want to retraumatize survivors.

    If you never have, please look up Intersex Surgery on Children, for information about an Actual thing that Really happens in our country every day, not a made-up thing that never has.

    I was lied to for 44 years. Trust me, this is NOT a good approach for someone to take with their child.

    CW: medical abuse

    A proposed law in Massachusetts would coerce prisoners to donate organs for transplant. Please, if you live in Mass., write to your legislators and tell them to oppose it.

    Some details, and a model letter to the legislature: redbird.dreamwidth.org/3040619

    Three EMTs have also been reportedly fired today. Initially called to the scene for pepper spray exposure, the EMTs failed to appropriately assess Tyre's medical condition. It would seem these EMTs made an effort to not contradict the police officers' story and may now be accessories.

    Blindly regurgitating police statements did not work out well for these three.
