Tell them that if they don’t cut it out with the woke stuff their pronouns will be was/were.
Kidney stones are really bad. Having to deal with medically incompetent but politically correct staff must be the worst!
I’ve dealt with many medical issues, kidney stones being among them but even though I could detect their political and gender preference I’ve gotten only professional care from them.
Of course this could be because I live in the South and the virus hasn’t taken over here ... Yet.
Inner city hospitals are going totally woke.
Obviously, this guy is a hater, anti-hamas, probably doesn’t deserve medical care. Didn’t get it. So...obviously. But the honor of a 21K bill to help the less fortunate so the fed wont be billed and the hospital still makes its profit.
When I had a kidney stone I went to the small town hospital where I was spending the weekend and was immediately admitted. All I knew is I was in extreme pain and had nausea. I had never been to an ER before, so going to a hospital was a new experience for me. I don’t recall giving a UA sample, although I may well have. I did get a cat scan, which revealed the kidney stone. Since I was six hours from home they gave me some pain meds and sent me on my way. This was on a Friday. On Monday morning I went to my doctor. He set me up with a specialist on Tuesday and on Wednesday the stone was laser blasted. Everything was fast and efficient and insurance covered it all so I had no out of pocket costs for anything.
Then walk out and find a doctor who actually cares about the proper practice of the art.
I have a long history of kidney stones, and I won’t fault the ER doctor for their treatment as described, although the pronoun BS would be annoying.
The ER doc had a passed-stone in hand, so they knew the cause of the pain. Infection is caused by blockages, rarely by the scratching/scarring of a stone passing. They gave a CT scan (not cheap) to see if any other stones remained. If they were scrimping on treatment, they wouldn’t have done that.
For better or worse, the ER’s job is to get you out of the ER alive, and pass you back to your primary care doctor or specialists.
Slightly off topic, but I’ve never heard my doctor at Kaiser even say the word “COVID” let alone pressure me about getting booster shots. I told how much I appreciated that and he was receptive to my comment. I’m keeping that doctor.
What race was she?
Take your magnesium. This is just one more reason to stay the hell out of the medical system
made the mistake of going once after a doc said “If you pass any more stones, go to hospital, they have help to ease the pain-
I went on my next stone— had to wait in emergency room for hours- They gave me nothing! Waste of time- I sat in the room praying it woudl pass quickly- it didn’t- it became obvious that they were not going to do anything so i walked out- I coulda stayed home and not had to deal with the pain from bouncing around for 40 miles to get to hospital and 40 back-
In the decadent phase of Western Civilization, all standards are continuously lowered.
I’ve got a “Ask Me About My Gonads” pin.
Time for new doctor.
Find another Doctor.
When Obamacare first came out, I had a doctor who spent half of my visit trying to figure out how to complete the new computerized forms that were necessary for reporting. I stopped going to him after that.
Result? They lost respect.
This story is scary. I was born at a time when MiG-15s and Sabre Jets were shooting at each other, so I will be seeing lots of medical personnel in the coming years. My current doctors are excellent, but as they move on, they will be replaced by products of “affirmative action” and our increasingly woke universities, medical schools, dental schools, nursing schools, etc.
Despite knowing the pain of kidney stones I’d have said Eff your Pronouns and hobbled some where else.
