Sigh.... Flips
"It's been _ _ days since I was last gaslit by somebody I was counting on care for" sign back to 00.
Screen cap from side chat where I accidentally summed up the whole fekkin system rather well methinks:
#gaslighting #medicalTrauma #chronicIllness

Text bubble with: 
"The irony is these docs are oblivious to the fact they are in real time contributing to the trauma they are using as an excuse to not provide care. 
*whispers* the trauma is coming from inside the system"
and a friend has dropped a 100% emoji on it.

@vlrny 'you are full of mysteries' is a nice whimsical way of describing a shit sandwich being served

@vlrny sorry about the counter going back down again. I almost got a diagnosis today, but doc wanted to ask her husband first (he works for a related service apparently and she wants to check that she as GP can diagnose it). She's only been treating me for 5 years. These people sometimes are reaching right down the bottom of the barrel for the last flakes of dust down there aren't they? Often "with all good intentions".

@EdibleFuchsia
"Almost got a diagnosis" 馃槅 sigh....
It's like the fekkin holy grail.
Your experience isn't real until it has a label.
And ya know what a diagnosis is? Just a frickin lens to look at a malfunction, a paradigm to guide a response.
All models are wrong; some models are useful.
And the world (and my own damn body) are still full of mysteries.

@vlrny thank you for making me smile at it. Your quote marks got a chuckle out of me. It is ridiculous. I had to give an explanation as to why I wanted the label too. As if they'd withhold it until have a good enough reason too. Damn it's only my actual life and experience. We need a snow shaker to put these professionals in now and again me thinks. With a gas light twinkling under the starry sky.

@vlrny

because it is all corporate bullshit my friend, I deal with it as well. And it is usually a member of the younger generations who think their entitlement is knowledge.
