This is how propagandist sentences look: "I recently read ’s newsletter. If I get sick, I’m moving to Malaysia, about the nightmare of navigating the US healthcare system." (-E.T. 2025s).

Maybe they haven't read my article yet, which explains how healthcare institutions here endlessly refuse their responsibilities.

For two years, the system misdiagnosed my Akathisia as "panic." The truth? A chatbot identified the drug overdose, forcing me to become my own advocate.

One thing I’ve never quite understood is the reluctance of certain doctors to provide medical imaging to patients in a digital format.

As someone with interests in photography, programming, data, and my own health, I find the RAW-like DICOM image file format fascinating. So, even if it comes on a CD-R and costs 2500 JPY, I always try to get my own medial imagery whenever possible. (These are also extremely helpful to have in advance if an issue recurs and you need to show the progression to a new clinic.)

I’ve had good luck getting endoscopy, X-ray, and MRI data over the years, but the doctor at the colonoscopy clinic today was a hard no. They’ll only provide the photos they took of the inside of my own body to another doctor, not to me, myself, the subject in question.

(They did provide a printout of a few key moments for my reference. Why this is available when the actual image data is not remains a mystery to me.)
