like. i know this is because my entire blog is forcibly marked mature. so every single original post i make is immediately marked mature. but the extreme juxtaposition of the Request Second Review button over photos of a literal cat is. stark.
I’ve seen blogs nuked between yesterday and today and my cat is still under review this website is a joke
my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she’s too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn’t read my file because it explains that I’m not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it’s impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn’t believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she “looks fatter than that”. So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?
My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.
My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.
There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.
Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.
We should be allowed to kick the everloving literal shit out of these people. May they reap the care they give, all at once, with no pain relief and nobody who believes them. May they know fear.
physically incapable of being upset by being rickrolled. if it’s well executed i get to engage in the playful wink-nod with the jokester. and if it’s obvious. well then i just get to see my beautiful friend rick astley
