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: CW' Financial distress, medical system failure, mental health / panic, emergency mutual aid request
Today is a bad day.
I went in to get med refills, but I couldn't afford them because the fucking free doctor prescribed them wrong. So I haven't had my meds for a week. Went to get the correct ones today, and they were $40.
Awesome. So I had to do a walk in I didn't mean to do. Got the meds prescribed for the third fucking time, and I was so stressed out I left without ever picking them up.
Went back to pick up my meds, was going to celebrate with a vape. Vape mod is missing. I look for it everywhere. It's gone. I lost it somewhere in all the stress of trying to save $40.
This is the poverty tax. To save $40, I lost $80. It is the snake that eats itself.
Also I have a second job interview next week. Unfortunately I also have agoraphobia, and my vape was my safety signal.
I'm freaking out and I need to replace it now. I will do anything to replace it. But to prevent myself from engaging in desperate, self-destructive acts, I'm going to have to require myself to do nothing.
I'm so fucked. I was getting $100 from a friend soon and none of it matters because I can never get ahead and begging for scraps kills my fucking soul.
So I'm begging. Because a soul can't live without a body, and I've been a body without a soul long enough.
No GFM. This is an emergency. If I have to wait, I might as well go inpatient and fuck both job interviews.

https://venmo.com/joanburgosP.S. Oh and next week I'll need new Adderall. So this is all hell. I get $20, it's gone. Beg for more. If you have anything, please spare me more hell. I am so close, but I'm so tired too. I can't take much more of this. At this point I feel like I'd lose less self esteem finding people to fuck me for money on Craigslist.

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.#MentalHealth #MentalHeathCare #MedicalAbuse #Disabled #Disability

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.

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: https://redbird.dreamwidth.org/3040619.html

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.
