Research chasm alive and well. There is little appetite for accredited medical professionals to crack open a published paper. They have to be strong-arm protocoled into it by their employers and licensing boards. Stomach ulcers my dudes.
Adam Gaffney@awgaffney

Over-diagnosis / misdiagnosis / self-diagnosis of EDS, MCAS, POTS, & Lyme is a real problem, and it would appear that there is little appetite by medical professionals to discuss this issue publicly.

@Tweet4_Life @Moonbae222 So true. It’s a paramilitary hierarchy. Plenty of young nurses will also tell you that you need the charge nurses to retire or die before you can implement more humane or up-to-date care.

@Moonbae222 Good nurses have been saying that for decades - to accomplish anything useful for the patients they have to persuade the doctors into thinking it was their idea to begin with – it's an ego driven nightmare.

It’s wild how every disabled or chronically ill person I know is very aware that you basically have to manipulate drs into treating you but we can’t ever say it or have it acknowledged. The gaslighting that comes with being in a marginalised body is enough to drive anyone mad.

@adjectivenoun Further down the thread another weighs in that they chose peds because adults are so awful. That’s power bonding all while being unaware that choosing children for their acquiescence and their inability to advocate for themselves is a red flag. But yeah, then there’s the parents.

@Isanthropia i find it intriguing that she’s a pediatrician don’t know if she’s talking about children or parents when she refers to patients

It’s problematic when a statement like that is taken out of context. Patients are talking about tiptoeing around physicians who get irritated, dismissive, contemptuous and rude because the patient has the audacity to speak of symptoms as a diagnosed condition. 1.
Nikki M. Johnson, MD@notaproviderMD

The last 24 hours has enlightened me about the way people think about their doctors. I'm truly floored, and deeply saddened by statements like this: "Patients have no responsibility to act in a particular way. Period."

Il y a une vague de publications présentement d'histoires d'horreur vécues par des patients dans un système de santé paternaliste. Le tout ayant été déclenché par une publication particulièrement arrogante et insultante d'un médecin.

Je me reconnais dans chacune de ces histoires et j'en ai vécues moi-même beaucoup trop pour une seule vie. J’ai écrit sur plusieurs au fil des années dans mon blogue.   Il y en a, de supers médecins qui travaillent en partenariat. J'ai la chance d'en connaître plusieurs! Mais on ne pourra pas corriger la situation si on refuse de voir l'ampleur du problème, qui est complexe, systémique et international.

Il faut nommer les choses pour pouvoir s'y attaquer.

If someone is in pain, is in crisis, has been dismissed, ignored, psychologized, then yeah I’m so sorry, it is indeed your job to own the entire exchange and not to stomp your foot and insist on a “modicum of politeness and respect for all those years of memorization and rounds.”

But most are indignant. It’s a sea of docsplainin’ and whataboutism. Most importantly, they continue to centre it on themselves. They could learn a thing or two from vets, or even some exceptional forensic psychiatric nurses I know…3.

Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario? That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale. @globalnews apple.news/A59EHd4IQS-OXx…

@unintrstngcritt But in reference to the original thread most are responding to the bad attitude the physician has when a patient offers a diagnosis for their symptoms.

@unintrstngcritt This is also very true. In case review we found patients can accept genuine misdiagnosis as a mistake if the physician is transparent and apologetic. But withheld care is outright punishment and discrimination - a real and growing problem. 1.

For the doctors in the very back: it’s not that you will ask questions; it’s your frustration. The outrage is over the frustration. The patients have an issue with a physician being frustrated that they have to ask questions of a patient. Attitude. It’s bad attitude.
Jason@Dr_JSA

The outrage over this is something. If you want to tell doctors your diagnosis and take issue with them questioning it, just waive your right to sue. I've personally had a patient complain of heartburn when they were having a heart attack... So yeah, I'm asking questions.

@jewstein3000 You are absolutely right migraineurs are all over the map. NSAIDs not only may not be tolerated, they may not work at all. Truly not at all. There are those with migraines that respond wildly well to the triptan class of drugs and others, not at all.

There’s a doctor on here mocking patients and recommending high dose NSAIDs and caffeine for migraines and I just want to say that’s terrible advice. He appeals to authority a lot but please don’t follow that advice. He’s a rheumatologist. See a migraine specialist please,

@Isanthropia That seems so weird to me... are the cops examining every prescription? Are there no ways to physicians to override this? The US police state is totally absurd

Many folks are misunderstanding the problem here. It’s the *attitude* a patient gets and not that a physician will do due dilligence. The Dr. who admitted to being frustrated when a patient comes in with a diagnosis - it’s that: the frustration. 1.
Franklin Collins@Frankli07435432

@kirabira If you went to the doctor and they just unquestioningly gave you antibiotics in 2 minutes, but then it turned out to be something else, you'd complain that they rushed it and didn't listen to you.

@ejdndndkdndn But I believe the Nuremberg Defence (that you cannot escape culpability because you were just following orders) holds. If you are a burnt out HCP, go on leave get help. If you witness abuse as a colleague - call it out.

@ejdndndkdndn I’ve investigated and written reports on some of the most egregious examples of this kind of abuse and damage in complex care spaces. There’s a myriad reasons everyone from senior leadership on down turns a blind eye. 2.

Anyone noticing that patients are all out here describing all the social contortions they take on to try to not piss doctors off, and doctors just respond with “Yeah, well you don’t get it. You aren’t as educated as me. I’m a good person. You don’t know what a pain patients are.”
