"In medicine, we do not ask who someone is before we treat them. We do not ask where they are from, what they believe or whether they are "deserving." We treat them because they are injured. Full stop.

This principle is not sentimental idealism; it is the ethical foundation of emergency medicine, trauma care and humanitarian response across the world.… What happened in Minneapolis represents a rupture of that shared ethic."

This is a long post, it is just one part of my story with medical discrimination and denial of care. The cost that is scary as hell. This should only belong in works of fiction but is my life. Now I have a fear I shouldn't.

The Impact of Gaslighting in Medicine on Patient Health a Personal Experience

This is a longer post yes, however the story it tells is one that needs to be told. Even now I barely scratch the surface and that is so far from okay that I have no words for what I touch on.
