I need to talk about #endometriosis care in #Alberta

If you don’t want to hear period talk, scroll.

I may mention transgender health, if you don’t like it, unfollow me.

This may or may not get political, if that bugs you... scroll.

We need better gynaecological health care in Alberta. For both women AND men.

Here’s why.

I went 25 years undiagnosed and being told “it’s in my head.” In fact, I’ve been hospitalized for that, through so much psychotherapy and even been on drugs for that.

It didn’t help. I mean I learned to shut up about my symptoms. But they were still there. And I thought I was hysterical or something.

Meanwhile. It’s been affecting every facet of my life. Relationships, jobs, marriages. I’ve been homeless from this.

Oh, I’m sorry,
Are you offended
By my unicorn fist?
Well, after a year of this government,
I’m feeling
Mighty pissed.

UCP policies tell
Albertans to
Suck it.
Education, health care,
Human rights?
Ya, they’ve fucked it.
These career politicians
Without any
Degrees,
Spend their days
Gaslighting
However they please.

And while we struggle
Our way through a
Global pandemic,
They’re spreading
Ideology like a
Swift epidemic.
And maybe all of this
Was part of their
Plan,
Keep the woman at home,
Reliant on her
“Man”.

But this Mom
Won’t go down without
A fight.
You start messing with kids?
Watch out for
My bite.

We need to start talking about the real problem with #AlbertaHealthcare and why @shandro and @jkenney plans will not work, will harm patients, and will cost the system more while delivering less. MDs leaving (and they are) is not the primary problem. 1/x
The biggest issue, is that we started with too few.
I have worked all over this province, and from day one there has been a massive shortage of MDs. Where I work (rural and remote AB) the problem is most apparent. Large % of people unable to get a FM doc. 2/x
Many others driving upwards of 4 hours to see one. Those that are lucky enough to have one? Wait lists are up to 7 MONTHS. The incredible rural docs serving these communities work tirelessly. Routinely > 100 hours a week. But they are human, and can only do so much. 3/x
