here's something I didn't know until a few years ago: nurses at a hospital don't answer to doctors. they have their own bosses. docs also have bosses. they're coworkers. it's not a hierarchy except in terms of whose say comes first in medical treatments. they're all just workers the same as we are
there is not an easy line between evil doctors who are rich and nice nurses who aren't. that's not real on any level

I'm not one to demonize nurses anymore than I am to demonize doctors, but I do think it's important to note that nurses are often The Problem Too
Teen psychiatric patients felt 'belittled and bullied' - report
An inspection was made months after a BBC Disclosure documentary exposed a culture of cruelty among nursing staff.

listen this is gonna be a hot take so bear with me: being a doctor, especially in a hospital, is one of the worst service worker positions you could hold
sure it pays good (we won't talk about med school student loans) but listen: do most people get literal shit thrown at them at work regularly lol

somebody I love had a young resident jump off the roof of their hospital a few years back and that was the moment I realized that there isn't somebody else you can call in. the people who took that call were the people who knew and worked with her. she was 26
man, I couldn't ever watch people die the way I know doctors I know do. especially kids. and they have to just turn around and try to save the next person, without any time to grieve, really, even when it's their own. because guess who has to take care of a hospital worker who's dying or dead

Having been yelled at/dismissed/traumatised by a veritable shedload of doctors in the past, I think about this open letter/apology from a doctor to patients w/ chronic (including mental) illness a LOT.

just as a gentle reminder: this is my take on doctors please don't say things like "all doctors are monsters" @ me and assume I'll take it in stride. not where I'm at and not a stance I'm willing to accommodate with grace
I think a lot of doctors actually do care very much, but they are neither equipped nor trained to deal with chronic issues/disability much more than the general population. they're humans; they have 100% NECESSARY skills and knowledge most don't, but that doesn't make them immune to stigma/bigotry

One of the big disability myths I see a lot of disabled people ascribe to is the idea that all of the *Other* disabled people must be getting the care and empathy they themselves aren’t getting.
“If I were physically ill”/“If I was visibly disabled”/“If I had cancer”/“If I was more severe” etc.

"but the care I received was essentially non-existent and people treated me like shit for needing it and it ultimately did nothing and bankrupted me at the same time, how could it possibly be worse, keez"

I guess another way to put it is; if you've ever had a slimmer of thought that "if I was only a little worse off, they'd care/take me seriously/give me the support or accommodations i need"
please dispel any spark of that thought. it's as much a fantasy as me thinking the street lights are demons

I see a lot of people frustrated with lack of accommodation for low-medium needs autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression and I want to caution us all to keep in mind that high/severe needs people with mental illness/neurodivergence are neither your rivals, nor are they receiving higher quality care

Writing Phyla-Vell and Teddy has been an absolute blast, queer siblings are such a rare sight in comics (especially rad sword-swinging ones) and I'm thrilled to tell their story.
