The wild thing about the concept of dignity in a medical setting is that people act like its not a given. Yes there are absolutely times where patients can be or feel humiliated, but humiliation is an emotion that people feel about different things. When it comes to the patient's feelings, they may or may not feel dignified in whatever medical care they're participating in. But then I hear Healthies advocating for very specific non-issues "so the patients can have dignity" and I'm like "😐 You weren't viewing me with dignity before??"

#yes this is about the scrubs thing but its also about healthy ppl projecting their sick dysphoria on chronically ill patients.#i like getting infusions!! i like taking pills!! its not just that they make me stay healthy. i LIKE them.#i like having the consistency and the rest day and seeing other sick people and getting medical trash.#i love being sedated and i love being complimented during induction because im So Good at being sick.#i dont mind hospital gowns bc most of them actually DO cover you. tv just lies about it.#being feeble makes me feel dreamy. being the Sick One gave me identity.#and also i think heart moniters are cute!!!#theyre like little things that stay attached to you and go everywhere #and they take MY heart readings because im their special little princess.#the fault in our stars was problematic but i love you bipap machine that is actually a dragon that syncs up with my breathing!!!!
