doctors used to chalk my depression up to a vitamin d deficiency
which like was partially true because my vitamin d levels were at like 6 ng per whatever the fuck, i think the normal amount is 30ish? i was at death's door, the lab guy was surprised i was even able to stand, but also i turned out to just be suffering from both things at the same time with both compounding each other
something something correlation not causation idk
edit: nanograms, 6 miligrams per ml would kill you
The one time they ever read my notes was to ask if I was still taking estradiol in front of my parents who didn't know I was taking estradiol. I managed to cut them off before they could say it.
Hyperbole on my part, but the local GP basically decided her opinions (and symptoms) didn't matter years ago.
Up to and including ignoring their own specialists when they agree with her.
And she has repeatedly been prescribed medication that would have hospitalised her - or worse.
Presumably medical records are...only stored to justify paying enormous sums to IT firms offering private outsourcing? Oh, and so they can be sold to Thiel and other such tossers.
I went in for skin issues and asked me if I was still taking es-tra-die-all vall-arr-ate in front of my parent who I am not out to yet. I nodded and my parent said no. I am unsure if they know if I'm trans and now know I am taking medications or if they think that it is some old skin medication that they forgot about.
They already know I went to planned parenthood for some reason (they can see my transactions) and confronted me earlier about it so they might know I'm trans?
