(107,012 posts)I REFUSE to believe your suggestion and having had decades of direct experience, I find that suggestion beyond hyperbolic and outrageous. Yes, we are fighting politics vs good medicine, but that still doesn't turn us all into MURDERERS!
Again, I am glad you are doing better, but please. Don't make monsters of us all.
Think. Again.

(107,012 posts)patients. When YOU have had more than a decade of education and decades of experience, face tremendous lifetime debt AND have likewise experienced thousands of other physicians, nurses, and other health care workers similarly dedicated--as I HAVE-- you can come back to me. Until then this is horrendous. I hope you consider your attitudes before you need me and my colleagues! They will be professional to you, whether you treat them with undeserved accusations and contempt. Because they went into medicine to HELP PEOPLE. People--at least some on this thread who seem to have nothing but contempt for them and their sacrifices.
THis is beyond indefensible. How DARE YOU!

(371 posts)I don't agree with every doctor or nurse I interact with, but I do believe they are all professional, and there is EXTREME paranoia on the part of some folks, because all of the propaganda has programmed it. This is just as bad as the anti-vaxxx types who thought their dentist was going to give them "the clot shot" as soon as they went under for a root canal etc. I have had medical professionals in my family and I am highly agitated at the prospect that they would treat any patient with anything other than the utmost compassion and respect. Again, this is as bad as the covid crowd saying "hospitals let people die." That's not what hospitals are in the business of doing.

(840 posts)Just the ones he was dealing with. I always recommend having someone to advocate for you because there are good and bad health professionals.

(10,414 posts)I just was scared. We live in a very weary world now and they were fine with me detransitioning while sedated

(107,012 posts)did as well. I'd bet they fought for you. And now you accuse them of wanting you to die? Or of planning to LET YOU DIE? Based on WHAT PROOF? This is indefensible. Shameful.
I get your fear. As I said, I'd bet your HCWs did as well and FOUGHT FOR YOU. That is what WE DO.

(17,155 posts)So nice your Mother stepped forward to advocate for your needs while you were incapacitated. Be sure and give her an extra big hug.
Where I ended up. They were gonna let me detransition essentially until she raised hell
Think. Again.
(19,517 posts)One of the main things we good people have been saying as we face the new nazi administration is that we need to form strong support communities for all of us that might be facing the oppression trump and his nazi's have promised.
I'm hoping there are good people in your area that you can begin to form relationships with, not only for your protection and support, but also for the people of all stripes that YOU can join with others to protect and support.
We are going to need a solid social underground for all of us to get through the next four (or hopefully only 2) years.
