  • First off, I’m really sorry about your relative and I hope you’re doing well. That’s terrible. Secondly, that isn’t something that can be purely blamed on an automated system. There were people at multiple steps who could have made that stop happening and just didn’t.

    I have a funny one. In med school I had a patient with a BMI of 6,000+ and as most probably know 30+ is obese. As a med student I didn’t have the power to change the chart, and I had to go find the charge nurse, which was a struggle in and of itself, and then get her to change it. It took like an hour of my time and her like 15 minutes because she didn’t know how. Someone had entered their height as 5.6 inches instead of 5’6" and we struggled with that. I could have been learning that whole time. We need quality support staff so badly.

















  • I told my friend about it and he reacted poorly because he thought I was being transphobic. I have absolutely no beef with people choosing what they want to be called.
    My issue was that they were making accessing necessary healthcare more difficult and virtue signaling via recorded message by saying they care about our pronouns.
    I would have thought my friend I’ve known for a year would know I was trying to make a more nuanced point about capitalism and enshittification and I wasn’t saying that trans people should be disregarded. Actually quite painful to see that he saw me complaining and heard trans and went straight to bigotry.
