A month ago, I got kicked out of an institution for noncompliance directly related to my disabilities and abandoned by my caretakers 1000 miles away from home. I have until April 27 to switch from living in a hotel to a short term rental, and right now I DO NOT have the funds.
Pt in ER with extreme pain out of proportion to exam. Cop in the ER: You know that patient, right? They're just a drug seeker, they're fine. Final diagnosis: Septic arthritis with deep tissue abscess. Take patients seriously.
I'm a bit bored, here's a thread on the various names for ways you can read Japanese kanji: 🧵
Getting rid of EMTALA, which the Supreme Court seems poised to do, means that if you show up to an ER bleeding to death from a car accident, the hospital can decide if you look rich enough to save. Pretty neat.
some things we learned during the george floyd protests that you should know if you’re attending a protest—a thread 🧵:
Healthcare providers in one of the FB groups I am in are bashing patients who self-diagnose. I’m trying to educate them on why patients do this, how it is valid, how to actually help, etc.. I’m also trying to communicate that it’s problematic to mock this behavior (all while…
Medical gaslighting is a very real and severe issue that doesn’t get talked about enough. It can lead to lifelong consequences (and even death) for patients. Women & marginalized individuals are disproportionately impacted. It’s happened to me many times - with dire effects. 🧵/1
"mental illness used to be the ups and downs of life" No, mental illness used to be your mum taking to her bed for 20 years with what was euphemistically called "nerves".
Destroying literature, film, and culture is the foundation of fascism. If you wonder what you would have done in 1933, now is the time to prove you would have acted. It never ends with books.
🧵There's a myth repeated by both the left and right that we don't have records of what Nazis destroyed in the book burnings. Historians know some but not all of the literature. Much of it discussed queer/trans issues. Here are some examples of what Nazis didn't want you to know:
Why do we undervalue the lives of disabled people so much? Why do we expect them to survive on a disability benefit that keeps them below poverty line - especially when being chronically ill drives expenses up? I spoke to a friend about this & was shocked by the response 🧵/1
I was at this event talking for Black Maternal Health Week and this amazing law professor and author from Georgetown started talking about how raping Black women became a pillar of the American economy because it was a “free” way to expand your wealth during slavery and…
PARENTS: You need to sit your kid down and tell them about sextorsion. They are not going to know randos messaging them for sexting is a trap. reddit.com/r/Sextortion/
7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime. A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.” What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear A thread
I need a lot of people to realize a strong contribution to the purity discourse in media we see among young people is due to radfems & gender criticals poisoning the water supply on sites like Tumblr since 2014. It's been 10 years. 10 years of disinformation culminated.🧵(cont..)
Let me remind you of the events of Friday, October 7, 2016. I bet you've forgotten all but one of these--or, at the least, you've forgotten they all happened on the same day. There's a =reason= they all happened on the same day. And there's a reason you forgot. 1/19
My grandma told me before Reagan the interest from your car payment was tax deductible.
The MAiD discussions this week are taking a toll on disabled people. Our view of medically assisted death isn’t as rosy as others. Disabled & chronically ill patients cost the system a LOT of money. We’re very sick but could take decades to die. A 🧵 on coercion & euthanasia /1

120K Followers 6K Following We are the US's official Visit Japan Twitter feed from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO).@eofallthings My always said I was faking injuries or being dramatic. Once, my hand was closed in an elevator door while we were in a hospital visiting someone. A nurse in the elevator with us insisted I get an x-ray. It revealed my fingers had previously broken in 7 places. I was 4.
@eofallthings Those aren’t good evidence, but I’ve always been pretty sure there was some story missing there. I never dared ask because I was sure they “wouldn’t remember.”
@eofallthings I was emotionally abused by my first grade teacher. She was a smoker and would leave us alone and chaos would break out - so eventually I tattled to the office and she spent the rest of the year torturing me. Mom and dad said they couldn’t get the school to do anything and
@eofallthings that’s why we moved, but I have two memories from first grade: One, of *someone* walking into our classroom and losing their shit at us; two, of my teacher AND my mom losing their shit at me for hiding milk in my desk to avoid getting yelled at about my milk as I was every day.
@eofallthings Parents gaslighting their children about their own bodies is psychological abuse, period. To everyone who endured this-- especially those who developed chronic health issues from their injuries, you deserved better. /3
@eofallthings dislocation was so brutal that it splintered my knee cap and a 1cm bone chip got stuck in my patella grinding against bone. Mom went into $7.5k of medical debt to pay for my surgery. I would've been permanently physically disabled if my mom had told me to walk it off. /2
@eofallthings This thread breaks my heart. When I dislocated my knee when I was 10, I was in so much pain that I screamed that I wanted to die until my voice was hoarse. We didn't have health insurance b/c of my dad (long story) but my mom called an ambulance anyways. Turns out, the /1
@eofallthings My ex had rheumatic fever as a child. His father didn't believe it and would shame him. He grew up to be cruel, laughing and taunting when I or my daughter were sick or got hurt. He wouldn't go therapy. So I divorced him.
@eofallthings I was sick w/ T1 diabetes for ~ 6 mos before anyone (including doctors) listened. As a teen I struggled to remember insulin injections. My mom asked my doctor to put me in the psych ward for self-harm. One of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I actually just have ADHD.
@eofallthings Wasn’t life threatening but my mom didn’t break a bone until she was in her 40’s, never had a major illness or surgery until almost her 50’s. So her concept of pain was skewed. I shattered my foot, over half a dozen fractures, and I walked on it for 3 days before-
@eofallthings When i broke a vertebrae it was about a month b4 ER visit even though I passed out from pain when it happened, had trouble breathing & was inconsolable. I complained enough about the tingling, funny feelings and numbness in both my arms 😅 My parents did apologize at least
@eofallthings It’s not quite the same, but untreated/un-dxed mental health issues + oldest daughter “mom & dad have enough to worry about” self-reliance literally almost killed me a few times. I made plans, it was pretty scary/severe in retrospect.
@eofallthings I was born early and born blue with the cord around my neck. The doctors did nothing for me and told my mom it was no big deal and I’d be fine. They told her the same about my asthma and my frequent pains. Reader, I was not fine. It wasn’t my mom’s fault. She believed them.
@eofallthings I had my first gallbladder attack when i was ~11, woke up in the middle of the night screaming in pain, begged my mom to take me to the er and she said she would if i was still hurting by 4am, then never took me 😭 Had it removed at 14, it was functioning at 26% lmao
@eofallthings cant count the number of times, but the 2 that stand out most would be having a uti for Nine Months as a you g teen then when i did get care my mother made sure to tell me how much i "cost her". and an ear infection so bad untreated for so long it cost me hearing in my right ear.
@eofallthings not my experience at all, but I was also a preemie with multiple CHDs and a disabled/chronically ill (t1d and kidney recipient) mom…. guess disabled people really do make better parents 😭
@eofallthings I had a root canal done at 10 yrs old with no anesthesia. My mom told me not to over react as I was squirming in my seat.
@eofallthings Just found out the “sprain” I had at 16 that the family doc (moms friend) didn’t want to look further into was actually a torn ACL that I’ve been dismissed about for half my life now. She did “care react” to my FB post about it though… 🤢
@eofallthings Lots of broken limbs that didnt get treatment for weeks, and were made very much worse, dislocated shoulder (i ended up having to set it myself). Broken fingers & Dislocated patellas (also learned to fix myself). unless there was blood everywhere, she did not believe me.
@eofallthings And then there’s the time when I was nine when I told my parents I needed glasses. They thought I wanted them because the girl up the street had just gotten them. They finally listened when my teacher told them I had to sit in front of the chalkboard to copy assignments.
