at this point my doctor’s ‘’chill’’ demeanor is becoming a fucking problem
#i have chronic iron issues
#i have to get my levels checked regularly
#at my last check my levels were low so my doctor told me to take supplements
#which would be fine except that i don't absorb supplements and she knows that
#''eh just try and we'll see what happens'' i was told
#what happened is that my ferritin level dropped to a fucking 2 and i am so ill i'm basically non functional
#and now it's going to take longer to fix
#i get that as a canadian i'm not allowed to complain about healthcare where americans can see it without risking being piled on
#but canadian healthcare fucking sucks
#it was borderline negligent before the pandemic collapsed the system
#you go to your doctor and say ''something's wrong''
#and they say ''here's a band aid if you don't die it wasn't serious if you do die it was that's pretty much all we're willing to do''
#now you don't even get the fucking band aid
#you get sick and you go to your doctor or the emergency room and you wait hours and days and months
#and they look at you for five seconds and go ''oh damn this is bad lol thoughts and prayers off you go''
#a thirty seven year old woman died in a nova scotia emergency room on new year's after waiting seven hours
#she was in excruciating pain and kept telling her husband ''i think i'm dying'' and they kept brushing her off
#she died slow and scared and in pain after lying on the dirty floor of an emergency room
#she was essentially tortured to death and left behind children and a husband who had to sit there and watch her die like that
#and it was completely preventable
#and it will happen again in this country
#it's probably happening somewhere right now
#anyway now i get to go fight for the infusions i should have gotten months ago while i'm so ill i can't stand for longer than a few minutes
#end rant
