Whenever I talk about the medical neglect and ableism I've encountered as a victim of the healthcare system, there's always some cockwaffle who feels entitled to come into my inbox and make the argument of "not all doctors" while talking about how "people like them" (because it's always someone in a field of medicine who does this) are doing their best and it's really hard because so many people fake being ill to get on welfare (Yikes), but like, yeah, obviously #not all doctors, because if all doctors were negligent, bullying scum bags, I'd be dead.

But here's the thing: while I truly believe that the majority of doctors are doing their best in a system stacked against them and their patients, their presence does not negate the mass harm caused by the bad ones. And there are far more bad ones than you realize.

Fuck, John Oliver literally did a segment on this last week:

Yes, the truly bad, malicious doctors are in the minority. Most are just horrifically burned out and fighting a losing battle against a system, killing both them and their patients through a lack of funding and resources and profound overwork.

But the malicious ones do exist, and they will go out of their way to harm patients who don't kowtow to them.

I almost lost my life because when I was in my early twenties, I told a doctor I didn't think she was listening to me, and I disagreed with her assessment of my mental health (she was not a mental health doctor, and I was there for heart palpitations and chronic pain). She retaliated by putting "non-compliant" in my file.

There was also a fun little "doesn't show respect" note too that lives rent-free in my head because I know I wasn't rude. I was polite. I just didn't agree with her, and my refusal to accept her off-handed comment that "you probably have bipolar or BPD" (again, I was there for heart palpitations and chronic pain) meant I was "refusing care."

I wasn't. I just refused to be slapped with a mood/personality disorder when I was there because I kept fucking fainting when I stood up.

(Spoiler alert: it was dysautonomia)

That "non-compliant" marker followed me around for years. It followed me across an ocean and effectively ensured that any doctor I saw was going to treat me like absolute dogshit because no one wants to help Difficult Patients. It wasn't until I was so undeniably ill, literally on the brink of death, that anyone helped me.

I'm alive because of a good doctor. And all the good ones that came after him because of him.

So, I know they exist. You don't have to tell me that.

But I really fucking need you to acknowledge the bad ones and that you're part of a system with a long, long history of abusing minorities and vulnerable people. I need you to acknowledge that because it's the only way we're going to survive this godforsaken nightmare and make things better.

So yeah, #notalldoctors, but if you feel the need to say that because someone talking about being literally left to die by the medical system hurts your feelings, I'm going to have to ask you to take a step back and ask yourself if you're going into medicine for the right reasons.

Namely: do you want to help people, even the "difficult" ones?

Even the ones who might disagree with you?

Even if they're on welfare?

Even if they'll never get "better" in a way that means "cured"?

Just a thought. But hey, what do I know. I'm just someone who experienced hemolytic anemia because doctors kept telling me I was anxious and needed to exercise more 🤷‍♀️.

Katniss if she obeyed Dr. A in my fic and kept a journal:

Sunday, bedtime - Peeta hums while he brushes his teeth. Cute but lame.

Monday, worktime - Found some cool rocks.

Monday, dinner - Haymitch's dumb nose bled on the table. Funny.

Monday, bedtime - Peeta says he felt sick. Doesn't want to make me sick. Called my mother. Might be dying.

Tuesday, breakfast - Peeta says he's fine. Suspicious. Will follow him around.

Tuesday, worktime - Tom made me laugh. Made me kind of sad.

Tuesday, worktime - Made Peeta drink tea. He says he's fine.

Tuesday, TV time - Haymitch thinks he knows who the TV guy is.

*Forgets her journal for a week or so*

Friday, Dr. A time - I'm fine. Saw Buttercup crash into a window.

Sunday, hunting - There's strawberries again. No Madge to bring them to.

Sunday, dinner - Peeta made a strawberry pie.

Monday, dinner - I couldn't find Buttercup. Got caught in a snare. Survived but scary.

Tuesday, working - Sae made soup for the crew. Had real beef this time! Peeta gave me the soft side of his bread.

Tuesday, TV time - Haymitch fell asleep with buttercup on his chest.

Wednesday, morning - Mother called. Says a lot of the fish are coming back.

Wednesday, dinner - Peeta does not know how to sing. Funny.

There's something to the picture that all this season and the release of the first three seasons' scripts have painted of Logan and Caroline's divorce not as one of maternal abandonment, but one of maternal dislocation and suffocating abuse that's ruining me right now.

The way Caroline tried to take her children and flee in the dead of the night to Morocco, the way Logan took meetings with every worth-its-salt law firm in the city to cut off Caroline's access to them, wielding the legal system like an axe to an umbilical cord, the way Caroline's one recourse was to try and keep their position in the company, to keep them with something even if she gave it away later as they rejected her in adulthood. The way she stayed for their adolescence in New York even as Logan froze her out, the way she had to bargain for Christmas even in their adulthood, the way she sat in the pews with the rest of the women Logan loved and hurt and discarded while her children cried, with no tools or ability to comfort them, the way she sat as her son wrote her out of her own motherhood as he gave their father sole credit in creating them, stood opposite her daughter as she told her she wouldn't see it, i'm just gonna do it the family way like it was on Caroline and not their father, that she never got to see them.

Something about the way it feels like Logan trained them how to bark at her scent, to make sure she stayed away from the door.

I love bad art so much. I love when people just scribble and do random brush strokes and I love seeing artists just not care if the end result looks pleasing or good. I love when people do art just because it's fun.

do you think leigh used 30 million kruge so she could split it among haskell and the crows really easily

The gods won't make the same mistake twice

There's one hero Percy Jackson is similar to, someone the gods broke, and they regretted it

Someone kind, that they made ruthless

Someone loving, that they made brutal:

Odysseus

You need to be more kind to yourself. This is your first time living. You deserve to go through life being a bit kinder to yourself.

With the post Clown made today and other people’s responses, let me make it abundantly clear:

If you think that Clown setting boundaries is bullshit bc “ppl will draw nsfw in fandoms, it just happens and creators should just accept that” and that they’re being dramatic or ungrateful-

Do me a favor and block me. My blog is not for you, you ungrateful proshippers. It’s very easy to- oh what’s that?- not draw or write nsfw if someone doesn’t want it!! That’s all you have to do!!!!

And Clown, I’m really really sorry people haven’t been kind to you. Thank you so much for letting us experience Welcome Home. I want nothing for you but safety and space. Take all the time you need, we won’t rush you.
