A short thread on Weird Things Doctors Say to Patients.
Going to leave it here in case I want to add to it later.

Unable to sleep cos I'm thinking how redundant the doctor's cliche "you can't see pain on an MRI" is.
No, but you can see damage, bleeding, inflammation, lesions and structural abnormalities.
I don't need you to see my pain. I can feel it. I know where it is.

Becca is the British Labour Party's worst nightmare. In the United Kingdom the Labour government considers any questioning of Zionism to be antisemitic.

An example of just how far the British Labour Party will go to shut down criticism of the Palestinian Genocide...

York’s ‘Ring of Steel’, permanent HVM barriers that cost £3.5 million have developed a fault at Spurriergate 6 days before the Christmas market starts. What’s the cost of plugging the gap from the counter terror warehouse to a council in serious financial difficulty ⁉️

Another severe ME patient is being treated badly in @RoyalDevonNHS hospital. They say her illness is severe personality disorder despite Dr Weir having diagnosed her as having ME in 2019. Royal Devon is once more proposing to withdraw fluids and pain medications, 1/4

We need an honest debate about welfare, not one built on myths and misinformation.
The repeated claim that people receive PIP for mild anxiety simply isn't true. PIP is assessed on someone's ability to carry out everyday tasks, not on their condition or diagnosis.

i got diagnosed with eds at ~15 and pots at ~14, mcas at ~17. ive watched over the years as they turned from a largely unknown overlapping group of illnesses that i had to fight every waking moment to get help for, to internet "buzzwords" that mean "fake disabled". its disgusting

So odd how we're not calling years of below-inflation pay rises "quiet paycutting"

When I started working I used to get a bonus, thank you payment at Christmas, bank Holiday time and a half if worked and paid if taken off, canteen with a cooked lunch now all gone. Bosses constantly look for ways to give staff the bare minimum so should expect the same in return

I think Doctors really need to start from a place where they recognise how much they get wrong. Saying ‘we care too much’ gives real ‘my only weakness is perfectionism’ vibes.
You could even ask patients if that isn’t too beneath you!

It's disturbing to think that a world famous athlete can be raising awareness of the mistreatment and neglect of people with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis on national television while at the same time another severely ill #pwME is being denied lifesaving treatment in an NHS hospital.
