I feel like most people assume that my hatred of medicine comes from my experiences as a patient.
But nah, most of it actually comes from the years I spent inside that culture.

Like just on the basis of my experiences as a patient I’ve obviously got a good, solid baseline level of rage.
But it’s knowing how doctors talk about their patients to other “insiders,” how medical students are trained to think about their patients, and what qualities are selected for by the systems that train them that keep me from thinking the clinic is redeemable.
And no, I’m not interested in hearing “things have changed.” It’s been all of a decade, I see how y’all still talk to each other on here, and I know you’re saving the really bad shit for your group chats.
