What gender dysphoria looks like when your bloodwork came back approved to start horomones, but the doctor you saw wasn’t qualified enough to approve testosterone, and then the virtual visit included 15 minutes of waiting to see a doctor who could approve:
#irl posts#gender dysphoria#gender transition journey#good news is i’m getting the boi gel#bad news is i gotta see if my pharmacy can give it to me or if i gotta seek out an alternative pharmacist#also bad news is seeing if i gotta wait for it after insurance renewals#i hate american healthcare#self doodle#the godzilla screaming was me having to wait another week to get my needed T

I am about to burn my gynecologist office to the fucking ground
#everyone keeps giving me incorrect information#FOR A MONTH AND A FUCKING HALF#first they told me I needed a referral and I got the referral#then they told me the referral was done incorrectly and to call my pcp and correct it#it took my pcp a WEEK to correct even though I called every day#now with the correct referral there telling me I DIDNT FUCKING NEED ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE#and then when I called to schedule… they tell me that the referral authorization is wrong#WHYYY ARE YOU PLAYING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IN A STATE THAT HATES WOMEN#while making this post I was on the phone with them and had to tear them a new ass because if they had listened to me a fucking month ago#NONE OF THIS WOULDVE BEEN A FUCKING ISSUE#I hate American healthcare

my insurance after refusing to cover my medication refill the second time in a row: simply ask your doctor to change you to a different medication (one that could very well have new side effects for me, you never know) because we don't like this one! teehee!

GOOD NEWS! I called my insurance and they found an in-network imaging center that's 1) closer to me and 2) WILL COST HALF THE PRICE OF THE FIRST PLACE. You don't even know how much better I feel rn. I called to cancel my appointment at this other place but I had to leave a voice mail. But once that's done I can get my doctor to send the order to this other place instead 🙏🏻
#personal#i hate american healthcare#like. with a passion#it's sad that the cost at this new place is still not cheap but it's WAY cheaper than what I was quoted at the other place

Sometimes being an adult means schedule your own appointments for a surgery that you really need to get done.
And I take offense to that.
#i also take offense to the fact that being knocked out for the surgery costs an extra $550 and hour#like fuck you i dont want to be awake for this shit#i almost punched my doctor in the face the last time I had to do this awake#i hate american healthcare

At the very fucking least, they should be covered by insurance!
wheelchairs and canes and glasses and hearing aids and every single other mobility aid should be free btw and if you disagree i hate you
#why are hearing aids not considered a prosthetic?#my ears don’t fucking work#so I need new ears#same as if my leg stopped working and I needed a new leg#canes and walkers and wheelchairs too#it’s not that fucking complicated#I hate American healthcare

#and all the other docs in the practice don’t have anything until OCTOBER#apparently there are some appointments available in the deep suburbs but like.#I live in a large metropolitan area near the main hospital I don’t want to have to get to a suburban clinic on a random Tuesday#I HATE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE#rare pic of me in the wild

i've been trying to get a new doctor since at least june...
i was given a referral by the psych hospital to call X Community Health Center because they take my insurance and are taking new patients
with everything going on i wasn't able to call them until just before thanksgiving. and they told me that i had to fill out my patient forms online so they could process them before i could be seen or contacted. i did. they never contacted me.
i called them a week ago. they said i wasn't in their system. a week later they find me, say they'll finish processing my paperwork and send me an email. no email.
i call today. yes i am in the system. good. so when can i be seen?
"well what's wrong with you?" nothing's wrong with me, i just need to get a new primary care provider (pcp). "oh, we don't do that. you have to have something wrong for us to see you, and then we'll let you see a doctor, and then that doctor will assign you to another doctor.... who will become your pcp."
...but i was specifically referred here because i was told you are taking new patients. "we are taking new patients. you just have to have something wrong with you to be seen or we won't see you."
well there's nothing currently wrong with me so how would i be able to be seen....?

I think instead of charging outrageous amounts, hospitals should instead sell merch.

i literally just woke up so thisis like word vomit but. the rest of the world are watching america and we’re all just so fucking BAFFLEDDDDD and like. its almost frustrating as an outsider to see this most powerful, influential country be so reminiscent of a bygone era like the US is SO influential over the rest of us we cannot escape US news or anything and sometimes i just think like. why. why should the rest of us let a country with so much backwards thinking have so much impact on us ??? idk
#does anyone understand what i mean#the guns the lack of healthcare even the fact abortion is one of the main election points is INSANE#i dont even know how the problem can be fixed because it needs to happen in US schools#education is so god damn important and we’ve seen recently education is lacking severely#i feel so fucking bad for all the good people of the US like over 60 million americans dont want this and have to live with it#have to live in a shit ass situation because the stupid uneducated hateful people outnumber them its CRAZYYYYY
