Just doing some digging. #Pain is extremely nuanced. And the approach should also. W my kids #health & #pain there has been continued lack of knowledge, assumptions, & unwillingness to understand.

#Pain is nuanced
The difficulty with articles such as below example, is nuances not recognized.
For example, I could identify as someone with #chronicPain I have a few conditions that are accompanied by #pain.
My #pain is NOT unrelenting, it’s there ‘hovering’ in the 1 Image
background. I do #yoga 🧘‍♂️ & #meditation & for ME, for the #pain I experience, it provides benefit.
However, take my kids; NASH, kidney disease, gastroperisis, T3, scar tissue neuropathy etc. #mindfullness #meditation is not going even touch it. Not in anyway

It’s understandable that many in nation that are not in #medical profession struggle w the #nuances

Almost 25 years ago I entered the world 🌍 of #raredisease when 1st my husband was dx w #PRSS1 & then our children.
What I’ve learned is #HealthcareInAmerica is brutal & often #harms those most in need.
The system is broken.
There is no disguising it.
I believe that our 1
#Healthcare system truly only benefits a small populous; individuals that are mainly #healthy & don’t belong to a marginalized group.
There are monumental system issues that need to be addressed that impact #medicalprofessionals ability to provide necessary 2
care. I understand that. I believe that #patients, #caregivers #medicalprofessionals need to work in collaboration to push back on the systemic issues that plague the system. I absolutely can give & find grace in many situations.
What I have no time for is the void of 3/

I continually see research papers and presentations given on how #childhood #trauma relates to likelihood of #chronicpain.

While I do not dismiss this may be a factor, I am very frustrated at the lack of introspection by many #physicians where #medicaltrauma due to care that 1/
was dismissive, shaming, manipulative and lacked transparency does a great deal of harm leading to PTSD & I would postulate the worsening of #pain & or #disease. It’s as if the model, is backwards. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely believe #trauma can have long lasting impacts 2/
impacts that impact multiple areas. What I don’t understand is how many physicians don’t understand how care for children & youth w #rare or #complex #health issues or/and ones that include #pain can lead to #MH issues (not always be the cause). Why is it difficult for some 3/

Honestly #medtwitter why is it so damn had to have a consistent plan in place for #patients w #complexhealth issues when person necessitates hospital frequently?

Also, why get upset with #patient when lack of coordination between #medicalprofessionals, assumption of #patient 1/
goals as well as often your own biases result in care that is subpar & harmful & leads to said hospitalizations 🤦🏻‍♀️. I understand you all are in a difficult position yourselves but you definitely have much more #power than #patient. 2
Also, why does it seem so difficult for #hospitalists to pick up phone 2 specialists? I know many of you work hard to acknowledge your biases, to incorporate the #patients voice in care planning, BUT if you are not one, YOU are harming #patients. #HealthcareInAmerica 3/
