hey - been in such profound crisis in a neglectful hospital admission and haven’t been able to update. queer multiply disabled Filipina femme forcibly discharged from hospital two days ago, after ten days in hell with a doctor who pitted me as a hypochondriac through his first impression of me when I landed in the hospital against my will, so sick with PEM after a necessary ED investigation that I couldn’t sit up or walk out, followed by a decline in the hospital that kept me stuck in there without any investigation or care besides forced rehab.
Because of this framing, I was routinely neglected by nurses to the point I was constantly on the verge of fainting while they ignored my buzzers, and my new and acute issues remain uninvestigated for concerns of “further harming me through testing”. I’m currently experiencing big blood pressure drops, sensory loss, rapid muscle loss, my bladder isn’t working normally, struggling to physically move, and more.
There’s a general medicine doctor who works with complex presentations and treated a friend of mine who took interest in my case, but I’ll need to present to the ED of a private hospital to see her and it’s $510 just to enter, and up to $270 for imaging and $150 for bloods. I have been unable to care for myself, need to get seen today and would like to crowdfund it through many and w visibility because my only other options rn are relying on my abusers or another patient who I don’t know well who offered to assist, with much more power than me. any amount would be really helpful, pls donate if white waged and able
