#PatientsAreNotFaking
TW medical negligence/body horror
My partner was sent away from hospital for "drug seeking"
Turns out his appendix had burst.
He somehow survived TWO WEEKS with it burst inside him and created a 5 pound pocket of infection in his guts.
I'm a medical professional and I'm ridiculously reluctant to seek medical help because of too many experiences like this. Gallstones obstructing my bile and pancreatic ducts? ER: "Definite panic attack" - I had to request the appropriate tests from my PCP
#PatientsAreNotFaking
The #PatientsAreNotFaking hashtag reveals the fundamental flaw in the GOP's view that healthcare is, and should be, a for-profit commodity, not a basic human right. The tag's full of people who paid the full price, but didn't get the service they paid for, no exam at all.
@JoshGeballe@3esp@WFSBnews@GovNedLamont Please be careful about surveys @WFSBnews@3esp. Those of us < 55 with serious medical conditions are clearly not a significant majority of the population & will never have a chance to move the needle in a “general” population survey. We need a voice too.
Getting severe covid is almost 4 times more likely if you are taking antipsychotics, and almost 3 times more likely if you are on antidepressants https://t.co/rjcRjRonR9 @ReadReadj@JDaviesPhD@markhoro
