went in for a long awaited eye appointment after a blunt force trauma left me with partial vision for the last 6 months.
Was given the wrong procedure (painful, disorientating)
the wrong advice (annoying, frustrating)
and my concerns about my eye were dismissed (worrying, sad)
call it medical racism or call it a failing NHS.

Whatever it is clearly there's some stuff going wrong. I'm lucky/privileged enough that today is frustrating to the max, but nothing more. thinking of people that have way worse ramifications after experiences like this.
I think we need to stop doing up 'clap for the NHS' and billboards saying 'thank you' and face up to the fact that the last two decades has destroyed this national treasure.
i'm fine now, just a painful and frustrating day (got my sight back after 6 hours, but still left with a headache)
next available appointment to do the right procedure...???? two months time 🙃

A thread absolutely no one asked for but has been in my drafts for days ⬇️⬇️⬇️:

I've been thinking a lot lately of the framing of 'critical friend'. It's often used in EDI discourse etc, and I'm going to be a #ControversialTurtle here and say: I don't like it.
If you know me, you know that I'm driven by Love over Fear. 'Critical Friend' sits in the realm of fear. Do you have critical friends? Family? parents? How does that work for you?
If you believe in Radical Love (and by the bell hooks I do) then my read of that is that you believe in taking people on the journey of self discovery to self actualization. It's not 'You're Wrong' it's 'I can understand why you said that, but have you thought of it this way'
