I love how the article just glosses over the fact that this woman reported doctors were treating her poorly because her notes mentioned she’d consumed psychoactive substances. Like apparently that’s just an acceptable and a valid way to treat patients.
I know healthcare workers get compassion fatigue but it’s just fucking depressing how normalised shitty behaviour is from them towards the vulnerable people rekying on them.
I used to be a chronic self harmer. Anyway, I went to hospital once because I self harmed pretty fucking badly and the nurses and doctors treated me so badly. They wouldn’t give me anaesthetic to suture my wounds. They said “you did this to yourself. Why are you complaining?” Like? Really?
