I may have ‘leveled up’ in my medical self-advocacy 😂.
Rather than stewing on a response/only speaking up later, I just *reflexively* & sternly snapped at a doctor:
“Do NOT misdiagnose me with anxiety when I am upset with you over the mishandling of my medical care.”

She had just patronizingly begun saying “I can see you have a lot of anxiety over this,” because she could hear in my voice that I was upset at her disrupting my current pain management meds for my autoimmune disease because the pain meds also help w/kidney stone pain.
My family practice doctor is refusing to do any further treatment or support for my kidney stone pain until I get imaging AND come to the office. Despite the fact that I’ve had two previous confirmed stones (one on imaging, one sent to the lab) this calendar year.

Though to be clear poverty and disability poverty is deadly in a myriad of ways. It’s not always such an acute situation. Poverty is traumatic. #Poverty is violence. #Ableism is deadly. Ableism is traumatic. Ableism is violence. The same can be said of the #ClimateCrisis. #NAUWU
