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.

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/

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/

We can hope that the @USSupremeCourt ruling today on the #Ruan case which required the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the CSA was Knowingly or Intentionally violated will encourage a return to #PatientCenteredCare

However, as long as the @DEAHQ, @CMSGov & Fraud Task Forces continue to target clinicians based on a subjective definition of medical treatment, many may still be hesitant to provide the treatment necessary to restore function & quality of life to patients with #RareDisease,

The options for patients deprived of medical assistance to maintain their health are untenable.

For patients in my daughter's situation where her Seizure RX is involved the outlook is bleak. With less than 10-days remaining to resolve the situation her health & safety are Image
uncertain.

Will she survive? That's our main primary concern.

Will she die of medical neglect or be forced to attempt to self-medicate via the illicit market.

Forced to play a deadly game where all potential *options* may be cost her her life.
