What’s with the pro-vax assholes? It’s pretty obvious to any thinking person that there’s something wrong with them.. Is there a way to change neuros?
@lordfroy @IgnorantHussy why does it even matter to the doctors when they arent the ones getting the blood transplant lmao
Because they’re psychopaths with a political agenda. I don’t think I’ve met a doctor that wasn’t some sort of socio or psychopath.
@lordfroy @IgnorantHussy this hits close to home lol, ive seen some specialists for a physical condition i have, and while theyre all knowledgable in their own right and dont show forms of strong bias, they do come up with their own assertions that turn out either to be misguided or confuse my family at the time and cause issues for me indirectly, plus like they never gave me a direct answer for what i should do, so i ended up doing nothing
@lordfroy @IgnorantHussy but yeah my optometrist always suggested i change my prescription lenses to something stronger even though my current glasses have been fine for years (in fact i think i need weaker lenses now) and dentists always chide me about how i dont floss, its annoying
Flossing is important. Get on that. I won’t kiss anyone with major plaque.
@lordfroy @IgnorantHussy never had cavities or other dental issues and i brush regularly, ya aint kissin me anyway
Phew. Thank the gods… good thing you have good teeth. I’ve been begging my dentist for years to just rip my teeth out. I hate teeth. They’re a bother.
@lordfroy @IgnorantHussy anyway the "do you floss" question isnt even my biggest gripe, its when they do a cleaning after my checkup and just stick a bunch of fluoride in my mouth and floss my teeth and cause my gums to bleed. i'll have to find a dentist who understands that i have my own ways of taking care of my teeth that dont involve following dentrist advice to the T because i dont want to be talked down to like a child
@opal @lordfroy @IgnorantHussy they really do not understand how someone might want to have a say into how their own body is treated, specially when it regards to drugs that alter daily existence which is wild. saw this a lot with an endo
they just balk when you dare talk back. you're an object receiving information as far as they're concerned.

@opal @IgnorantHussy @lordfroy the thing with the endo really was powerfully enraging because it made me feel inhuman
"we're going to switch you to this other AA"
"the one i have works fine? the dose is low and it's highly specific"
"it can cause liver problems"
"so can the one you're prescribing me. also this dose seems... high"
"it will work just as well, changing should be easy"
"it will fuck with my libido and sexual function a lot. those are things i care about"
"we'll mess with the dose if needed [at the next appointment, months in the future]"
just, talking to a wall. it's justified with the notion that your physical health comes before your mental peace with what you take, but fuck, these are not disconnected things. what happens is people ignore you. if you didn't take that personally you' realise that taking their desires into account would have led to good-enough care, instead of no care

@tarperfume @lordfroy @opal @IgnorantHussy Had a similar enraging experience recently, almost exactly, but it was about pain meds not hrt
@tarperfume @lordfroy @Jazzy_Butts @IgnorantHussy weed's probably the only pain medication i'd trust. i had a bottle of pain pills for my wisdom teeth surgery and only took two and i dont even remember them helping much. pain doesnt really bother me, the anaesthetic and the cotton in my mouth was annoying as hell though
@opal @lordfroy @Jazzy_Butts @IgnorantHussy weed's really good. benzos have worked for me for specifically muscular pain, but benzos fucking suck generally, so yeah.
@opal @IgnorantHussy @lordfroy @tarperfume The opiates work for me, they're the only thing that knocks out my pain so I can literally lift a normal amount of weight, and do a normal amount of work. Without them I can't even clean my damn house. I am a god damn scientist I know how to not get addicted to fucking drugs but the punks don't want to hear it because I didn't suck professor dick for a piece of toilet paper they call a diploma.
@tarperfume @lordfroy @opal @IgnorantHussy I was treated like a non person, and I got the pills but when they gave them to me it was like they were metaphorically throwing them at me with disrespect, saying "Here's your junk you junkie now piss off *spit*"
@Jazzy_Butts @lordfroy @opal @IgnorantHussy you'd think that "it hurts" should be something you'd hear standard in medicine, but apparently they don't have to deal with it at all
what was it like
