Disappointing to find that people I follow support this bullshit about how pts sharing experiences w bad drs is an attack on the hard-working salt-of-the-earth EM drs

Not bc I feel bad unfollowing. Yeet. Bc those HCWs are out there doing this IRL & that is disgusting.
Yall can’t blubber on about how mean patients are when they have a distrust of medicine bc of past bad experiences w/o looking like an ass. You could be the dr who breaks the pattern of medical abuse against that pt but here’s the kicker: you won’t.
You won’t, bc you refuse to admit there’s a problem, & you make yourself the victim & the pt the bad guy. Why are you taking it personally if you’re not one of those bad drs? Or do you think that all these people are lying? Shut the fuck up.
Waah patients were mean to me :( they’re not even TALKING about you! They’re telling their experiences. If those experiences are bad, take that up with the people in YOUR field who did that to those people. If you think that’s a personal attack, you’re telling on yourself.
How can you be so fucking insensitive? Are you really that jaded? It’s not a good look. I don’t give a shit if you can name every step of complement activation if you’re gonna dismiss people right in front of you. Your knowledge is useless & you chose the wrong field.
I’m a pathological introvert & not sentimental. No one has ever accused me of being a “people person.” And even I know that medicine is supposed to be about treating the patient, not stroking the dr’s (or nurse’s) ego. If you can’t do that, you’re doing harm & you should leave.
