  4. This is how propagandist sentences look: "I recently read ’s newsletter. If I get sick, I’m moving to Malaysia, about the nightmare of navigating the US healthcare system." (-E.T. 2025s).

    Maybe they haven't read my article yet, which explains how healthcare institutions here endlessly refuse their responsibilities.

  5. One thing I’ve never quite understood is the reluctance of certain doctors to provide medical imaging to patients in a digital format.

    As someone with interests in photography, programming, data, and my own health, I find the RAW-like DICOM image file format fascinating. So, even if it comes on a CD-R and costs 2500 JPY, I always try to get my own medial imagery whenever possible. (These are also extremely helpful to have in advance if an issue recurs and you need to show the progression to a new clinic.)

    I’ve had good luck getting endoscopy, X-ray, and MRI data over the years, but the doctor at the colonoscopy clinic today was a hard no. They’ll only provide the photos they took of the inside of my own body to another doctor, not to me, myself, the subject in question.

    (They did provide a printout of a few key moments for my reference. Why this is available when the actual image data is not remains a mystery to me.)

  7. This comes right on the heels of #BCgovernment trying to shutdown / stop funding the only #LongCovid clinic for patients in #VictoriaBC - which serves patients on the island & surrounding Gulf Islands.
    This #BCNDP government is failing patients on multiple fronts.

  12. **They don't mention that many kids who got #covid (then #LongCovid) ended up at this clinic! Expect more #failures from #BCPublicHealth when they have #eugenist #BonnieHenry calling the #PublicHealthSafety shots. I'm not surprised with this news at all.**

    #Pediatric unit closing, #physicians say they are overwhelmed by demand.

    A memo from the #pediatricians to their non-ER physician colleagues said that the Urgent Pediatric Assessment Clinic will close on Sept. 1.

    The memo advises that patients requiring urgent pediatric consultation — within 24 hours — should be sent to Victoria General’s emergency department, where they can be assessed by an ER doctor with a subsequent on-call pediatric referral as needed.

    For patients needing semi-urgent pediatric consultation — within four weeks — the pediatrician on call at Victoria General can assist with the referral and triaging.

  17. I want to remind everyone that you have every right to speak up & stand up against any #medical staff who is violating #HippocraticOath. It is our duty to speak up & stand up against any #eugenics enabling BS. Don't fucking keep complaining if you're unwilling to push back against eugenics enablers.

    PUSH BACK. SPEAK OUT. WE NEED MORE #COURAGE & LESS #COWARDICE!

  18. I blast highway to hell, almost every time I have to go to hospital for work or personal related reasons. It's hellish for #ZeroCovid disabled folks like me because our hospitals aren't really covid safe & they haven't been safe for a few years now. It is where Dad & big Auntie were infected. Mask policy returned to hospitals recently but almost all staff just wear the flimsy surgical blue masks. I wear my own N95s & use a nasal spray for additional protection.
    I'll be playing highway to hell again at 10am because I have to go to VGH for a client meeting.

  19. Health insurance companies like Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah do not have the right to reinterpret the design or findings of clinical studies, or rewrite established industry guidelines and protocols.

    Their job isn’t to redefine healthcare. Their job is to INSURE it.

  20. The revelations about the government’s numbers were also frustrating for Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau.

    “This government — and in particular when it comes to anything to do with health care — loves rolling out a whole bunch of numbers that they think are going to somehow convince people that what they're experiencing in their communities isn't real,” she told the IJF.

    But she said she was exhausted by the other parties’ deflection on the issue, and by their shared push for involuntary care. She described secured treatment facilities as the “the most expensive end of the continuum of care” for substance use disorders, and said they are not well supported by the evidence.

    “We are starving for access to preventive and proactive mental health care services in this province, and we hear again and again from parents who say ‘I couldn't get help from my child when they needed it,’” Furstenau said.

    “The response of both Eby and Rustad is to say, well, we'll wait until that person is in absolutely the worst state of crisis and then we'll force them into involuntary care. It makes no sense.”

  25. CW: CW: No GP will help / ME, disabled despair

    #Boost please

    GPs in clinics are waiting for me to:

    1. Go into #agedcare (I’m not aged.)
    2. To see a #GP (Who works in their clinic.)
    3. Because I don’t fit their business model. (They won’t #homevisit or #Telehealth me even if I see them once.)

    Yes they literally said this.

    (So I am too sick to help now, but as a younger person in aged care I wouldn’t be?….???!!! What???)

    Someone help me! 😭
