More from the opening notes of the #Anarchist #Medical #Bookhttps://anarchistmedicalbook.com As Christopher Schwarz noted in The Anarchist's Tool Chest (Highly recommended book, but hard to find in physical form), these days paying for things is considered good, and doing things yourself is considered fringe behaviour. Additionally he said "The mere act of owning real tools and having the power to use them is a radical and rare idea that can help change the world around us..." this is as true of medicine as it is of woodworking, or any other craft. There are means of production to be seized, and it doesn't have to happen on a grand scale, just on your own scale. "[Tools and skills], in the dawn of the world were a [human's] first, best friends. They remain [thier] best friends still in a world grown old and infinitely complex. By means of them [they] can unlock the doors to a life of creative activity that is full of interest. Without them [they are] a mere shadow of the [humans they] might be." ---Charles .H. Hayward,The Woodworker, 1954

A few extra notes to share from the hospital today - not all directly about my Mom's health. In point form because that works best for me, when my brain is overloaded daily.

• I reprimanded 1 doctor & 1 student doctor today, for being part of the hospital team that was responsible for dangerous early discharge, on September 8th. I straight up told them - they almost killed Mom with that bullying/forced discharge, that they're responsible for her having her first stroke & I'm documenting everything & telling thousands of people online how they practiced eugenics fail care, using highly vulnerable patients as pawns. I said none of that is OK at all. They kept apologizing. Again, had to say stop apologizing & start to do better, every day!

• I had to tell one HCA that her saying elderly people can eat anything they want is dangerous, untrue & can kill a lot of elderly with conditions that need specialized diets. I reminded that ignorant LPN that proper, patient specific nutrition is key to successful recoveries & anyone who doesn't know that, doesn't really belong in health care work. She wasn't happy about me being direct like that. I don't care - she deserves to be told these things.

• A husband of one of Mom's roommates was glad that I wasn't budging & being very direct with staff. After staff left, he told me - I heard everything that you talked about with both of those staff. You are a strong advocate. I'm going to start documenting with photos & audio recordings too. I learned how to protect & advocate for my wife more, listening to how you handled those people. I noticed they were very uncomfortable when you looked at them in the face & said: I will not allow hospital staff to kill another of my parents. Do better, starting now.

• I had a nice 15 minutes reunion with the lovely, always masked Black family with the autistic young son. He wore my floral jacket with my purple hat for his photos at the hospital today. That family is wonderful & I love bumping into them at RJH ❤️

Another piece of good news to share. Regarding how consistently speaking up & asking for better preventative health measures can sometimes lead to medical clinics improving things, for increased safety for all. During the Summer, I had a polite but very stern talk with Mom's endocrinologist regarding my concerns over lack of masks required at her clinic (shared with another endocrinologist) & how lack of mandatory masking is putting already health compromised patients at more unnecessary risks of airborne infections. Since that phone talk, Mom's endocrinologist put in place mandatory masking for all staff working inside & patients who are having in person appointments at the clinic. I am pleased about this change 😷 #MasksSaveLives #WearAMask #PutYourMaskOn #MaskUp #PreventativeHealth #ProtectPatients #MasksPolicy #Medical #health #GoodNews #PositiveChanges #AirborneInfectionProtection #Covid #AirborneInfections #BCHealth #BCMedical #DoTheRightThing #StopEugenics #PeopleWithDisabilities #AntiAbleism #MasksAdvocate #AdvocateForSafety

I'm heading home bit earlier because Mom's tuckered out. She wants to try to sleep more. I'll be back there again, tomorrow. I had rides to/from hospital today, which saved me $50 👍💗 #MasksSaveLives #CovidIsNotOver #AirborneInfectionProtection #AirborneInfections #PreventativeHealth #MaskUp #Health #medical #StopEugenics #AntiAbleism #MasksAreCool #AsianMastodon #YYJ #PeopleWithDisabilities #LeadByExample

Yet another note from The #Anarchist #Medical #Book Https://anarchistmedicalbook.com Illness is the adversary of us all. It is the thing which is so hard to fight head on. It creeps in. It takes us when we least expect it, it takes us in ways we do not anticipate, and we are all too vulnerable to turning a blind eye when it finds us. And for all the time when we are outside its clutches, we live in fear of it taking us. We fear judgement and bigotry will haunt us if our sicknesses become visible. The worst part is that in order to get care in many cases, we are required to surrender to the authority of the medical establishment, and trust that an unauditable system has our best interests at heart. While we simultaneously know that it is a run-down, broken system which is teetering on the edge of collapse, and is playing a scattershot game perpetually trying to just do damage control.

PLEASE BOOST. Urgent question. Has anyone taken transexamic acid before to lessen excessive menstrual bleeding? How effective is it, and when should it be taken? At the start of a period or just when it gets heavy? (For context I'm a trans man with PCOS. My period has just started, and I have been given a script to fill for this so I hopefully can get to my surgery tomorrow- usually my period gets so heavy I flood super pads and tampons within an hour while lying down). #transmasc #transman #menstruation #question #medical #menstruation #pcos

Been busy juggling work/client appointments, Mom's medical appointments, community volunteering tasks & maintaining our gardens. Mom's arthritis has been bad the past week so she's been out of commission. Mom's getting more blood work done tomorrow morning; liver enzymes test. August 4th, we meet with her liver specialist again to go over recent abdominal MRI/discuss her liver disease & possible treatments. The ophthalmologist office just called about her first cataract surgery. We agreed to use their test evaluation advanced lenses for reduced cost of $600. The hospital fees are covered by Pharmacare but the advanced lens costs aren't. BC Pharmacare only covers basic cataract lenses & Mom needs advanced ones. She will need her 2nd eye done, 3-4 weeks after getting the first - it is same cost of $600. Dr. Pedago will be doing Mom's cataract surgeries. He's diligent with masking up. I need some help with public donations to cover the costs of her cataract lenses. I'm taking a week off work, after each of her eye surgeries, to ensure she's safe/recovers well. If you're able to assist with a donation to help us pay for Mom's cataract lenses, please use my PayPal link in bio or QR code or if you're in Canada, please etransfer donation instead : quebanhincedar@gmail.com Total donations needed by August 10th: $600. Total donations needed by August 31st, an additional $600. Please boost to help us, if you're unable to donate any funds. #medical #cataracts #fundraiser #EyeSurgery #mutualaid

"A sweeping investigation by #TheAustralian has detailed a series of allegations that #antisemitism has intensified across #Australia’s #healthcare system since #October7, prompting some #Jewish #patients to conceal their identity when seeking #medicaltreatment. The report includes testimony from patients and #medical professionals who allege that Jewish patients were, in some cases, deliberately mistreated while receiving care. The claims include repeated and painful attempts to insert intravenous lines, failure to provide pain relief to women after childbirth and offensive remarks by #medicalstaff. As a result, the investigation found that many #Jews are afraid to seek care at #hospitals and #clinics, while those who do often conceal their Jewish identity out of concern that it could affect the way they are treated."
