Sometimes itโs hard not to be angry or bitter about the fact that chronic illness has made me feel stuck in time while everyone else is moving forward in life.
Just in case you needed to hear it:
Telling a sick and disabled person that weโre strong because you wouldโve ended your life if you had to live like us isnโt a compliment
yโall cough and laugh at people on chemo + their family members for wearing masks at the grocery store and then you go do your relay for life, breast cancer walks, MS walks, dance marathon, etc. thinking that means you give a fuck about people who are affected by these illnesses
HCWs didnโt have a problem masking prior to COVID. Especially in NICU, oncology, transplant and/or around vulnerable patients
I never received pushback. Now ALL I get is pushback.
Masks were made political & the patients suffer.
Wear a mask. Itโs the right thing to do.
Clinicians, if you see a patient
wearing a mask - just put yours on too.
Donโt ask us if thatโs what we want.
Donโt ask if we are unwell.
Donโt make it so obvious that you donโt understand infection control.
You work in a hospital.
Pretend you get it, and put it on.
medicine is this weird thing where youโre always GOGOGO but then your Life is also essentially stuck in a rut? like iโm sprinting every day but i havenโt moved a single step
โNo Olympic athletes are going to get Long Covid! Itโs been 4 years and I donโt know anyone who has Long Covid!โ
Yes. You do. Many people donโt disclose their disabilities for fear of ableist backlash. Others donโt connect the dots and may not realize they have Long Covid ๐งต/1
@PortiaMcGonagal Someone in my neighborhood had a huge trump decal on the back of his truck. He noticed I saw it and looked at me expecting I would agree with it.
The sadness in his face when I laughed at him was so satisfying.
I randomly gained a chunk of new followers overnight so let me trim the fat. Free Palestine. Epstein was a blackmail op. Trump should stand trial for staging a coup attempt. Biden should stand trial for genocide. Police are state-sanctioned thugs. End the War on Drugs.
