everybody: youβve got to advocate for yourself in medical settings!
medical professionals when a patient advocates for themselves in a medical setting (x100 if that patient is a part of any minority): damn. youβre a hypochondriac crazy bitch who has every mental illness and is seeking every narcotic in existence. thatβs the only reason youβd be disappointed in the care youβre receiving here. in retaliation, we will be even less helpful and less sympathetic. our jobs are hard. people are dying. we donβt have time to deal with anyone who is slightly inconvenient for us.
