not having a family doctor is the bane of my existence I’m so tired of needing to fight to avoid the ER for something as simple as a med refill

I keep seeing people say Canadians who were banned from TikTok must have a US SIM card or have made their account in the US meanwhile I have never been there 😭

Out of every single shitty aspect of the healthcare system that I’ve encountered as a chronically ill person, not having a family doctor has been the most impactful by far. It affects every aspect of my care because the system is built around family doctors that don’t exist.

Let’s talk about why emergency departments are full.

We’re going to use Mary as an example. Mary is a completely fictional patient.

Let’s say Mary is 72. Her family doctor retired 5 years ago.

She’s in the ED after a fall “weak and dizzy” (we see this a lot.)

@JoannaNoBanana I’m missing Christmas with my sister and nephews on the 28th because my MCAS is so bad rn it’s not safe for me to step into her house :/ also on 24 hours with a migraine from Christmas Day

my meaningless hot take is that this argument for Fahrenheit makes sense until you live somewhere with dramatic temp swings cause 5C in sept is scarf weather and 5C in feb is shorts weather and the “Fahrenheit describes how humans feel” doesn’t account for that relativity https://t.co/NDVBVx8Zth

I need the digital vs physical game debate to move from “you don’t actually own digital games” to “we need better models of digital ownership” because I refuse to get out of bed to change a cartridge every time I switch games idc

I said this in my class on MAID and I’ll say it here: in a vacuum I am 100% in favour of MAID/assisted dying but none of us live in a vacuum and the governments passing these laws are using them as another means of subjugating sick and disabled people & underfunding healthcare

[Callie 🏳️‍🌈 @chronicallycal]

being chronically ill and neurodivergent is so fun cause let me try to explain to people but that I couldn’t be productive the last two days because I’m Itchy from an MCAS reaction and need to play comfort video games to cope 😭

having an ODSP caseworker tell me that she “didn’t know if” an nj feeding tube insertion is a medical procedure is so fun

please tell me about all these people getting cosmetic nj tubes

I don’t know how I’m supposed to keep watching hypermobile family members develop chronic pain and myltisystemic symptoms just for my whole family to act like I’m crazy for thinking it’s a connective tissue disorder

[Callie 🏳️‍🌈 @chronicallycal]

@JoannaNoBanana Are the side effects different at all? I had horrible side effects on the capsules (they caused my gastroparesis flare that landed me with a feeding tube) and I’ve wondered if I should ever consider the vials or just write off the med for a While

My brother just said, and I quote, “I just don’t like equal treatment.”

Like I been knew but damn saying the quiet part out loud.
