Recently I had some moderately intense encounters with medical staff, but I managed to be assertive and advocate for myself with some success. I even received actually good advice from some of them. I am feeling tired but cautiously optimistic. How about you all? Did anything go well for you recently? What was some stuff that...
That’s so good to hear! Glad it went well in the end.
For me, I moved cities a while ago and was very anxious about losing my doctor. I had been her patient for the last near decade after a string of doctors who looked like they hated their job. Happy to say my new doctor is quite caring. I’m also seeing another doctor who can prescribe me a new medication which I’m having high hopes for and he is quite decent.
I need something like that in my life. A lot of them can be somewhat reactionary and sometimes a little right wing. Not always completely but I think sometimes it can get weird.
This is why I’m too scared to see a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist, even when they advertise that they deal with chronic fatigue etc. I’m seeing that their work revolves around doing things, but that’s what’s making my symptoms and health worse.
It’s depressing having to explain to every health professional that the literal journey to attend their appointment is easily too much and affecting my health, even if it involves a short walk. If getting there and back is an issue, how is doing whatever they’re recommending in addition likely to help?

Are there any communities or instances on this website for Asians or people of color to talk about racial politics?
