It's my job to teach med students direct, accurate communication with patients. I reckon patients should have access to this knowledge. Some useful patient phrases translated into hospital-speak: "please explain this further so I can decide if I consent'

@h_zurcher I'm pretty sure it's class signalling. People want to make a public show of knowing (and pointing out that others don't know) the 'correct' way to wear clothing.

why is anyone at all bothered by this? Why is anyone bothered enough to--as per the replies--want to cut the clothing of total strangers?

Adding my hot tip: Listening empowers the speaker. Listening is something you can & should withdraw from any speaker whose message you don't endorse. I stand up & quietly walk out of the room multiple times during every family gathering. Any time someone starts getting fashy.

@SimonAmstell very much want to thank you for the greatest piece of holiday family gathering advice I ever heard; don't ever expect it to be any different than it was the last time. That and "you don't have to be the host of every interaction." Both absolute gamechangers 💜👍

Was about to upload this to elephant site when I saw a toot that said "your toots are not gifts to your audience". I immediately realised I was putting this gift under the wrong tree.

@mireelr @Leo_Puglisi6 There was this guy who used to regularly come to parties in Melbourne in a giant orange furry dinosaur costume about a decade ago. He just did normal party stuff, mostly dancing, but in a giant furry dinosaur suit. Pretty sure that's what it is.

the most bizarre and vaguely unsettling thing I've seen in a while is this photo on the Wikipedia article "Cheddar cheese" where, if you look closely, you can see Santa's sleigh hanging in front of locked cabinets of cheese in a cave

@Saraheboon Having my dog* beside me. The whole situation being safe and not stressful for him throughout the day. *He's not a therapy or assistance dog, simply my dog.

When I take my 6 foot 6 family member with me into a health care setting, suddenly all medical things about me are trusted to be exactly as I say they are. Family member doesn't even have to say anything, just sits quietly in the corner in officewear.

You know who is extremely respectful of pronouns? Vet surgery staff. I went to pick up a corpse wrapped in a cotton bag. The staff, on the other hand, were definitely handing over a he/him.

Why do they call it a gender reveal that makes no sense. Babies can't have a gender.

Anyone who has ever tried to advocate for a loved one in a health care setting knows that it’s normal to endure microaggressions from health care staff. It’s one of the dark sides of medicine no one wants to talk about.
