At one point I was asked if my parents were siblings. I bet you haven’t been asked that before! Felt a mild urge to troll a bit, but didn’t, |

It was a genetics team. I was treated like some sort of circus freak for two hours. They discussed me and my body as if I wasn’t there. I can’t say I hold them dearly in my heart. |

They might have had honest medical questions but if they, damn even I’m scared now |

remember the doctor who eventually got busted for taking over a million from pharmaceutical companies, who was using me as a data point to fucking generate the "evidence" to market risperdal as an off-label treatment for ADHD and my mom. talking about me as if i'm not in the room. well, what's wrong with my behavior this week? when i got to college, i flushed it down the toilet. i distinctly remember how the trees and the sky suddenly seemed noticeably more colorful. risperdal is a fucking evil drug that turns you into emotional cardboard, big on watching shit reality shows on MTV so i know the feeling. remind yourself you're an adult and you can tell them all to go fist themselves. as you remind yourself they're just a bunch of pretentious wankers, and how can we mock them in our head? that one has the worst tie ever. i bet that guy's farts fucking peel paint. and then, yes: we're not telling them to go fist themselves because we're an adult here of our own volition for medical whatever we've agreed is warranted. the overall point is to remind yourself that, despite such moments -- you are the one in control. try not to go so far you begin to treat them as disposable peasants, however -- they notice when someone steals their bit |

I’d be silly not to want to know what exactly is making my health so poor. It’s not that I’m inbred though I’m sure if you go back enough…. You could tell these people had little to zero bedside manner. Their job is very black and white, lots of zeroes and ones. They were appalling. |

on some levels, you do want a doctor like that: emotionally un-invested. because if you're wracked with the feels it will impact your medical judgement in a clutch situation. imagine being a surgeon -- not all surgeries go well, even if the doctor is the best on the planet. can you imagine operating on someone, then losing them? how do you go on after that? if they didn't remain detached (remember the doctor in the first robocop movie? "let's go have lunch" after murphy dies) then we wouldn't have surgeons because they'd be too busted up after a few particularly rough failures neurosurgeons are legendarily the worst, because it combines that detachment with the supreme ego you need to work on someone's brain with a bunch of sharp things but, "bedside manner" you've nailed it. the simplest way to put it is the ol' saying, "there are ways to do things... and ways not to do things." |

while i'm talking out of my behind -- bananas, yogurt, hydration, ensuring to move your abdomen around physically regularly -- no miracle cure but if a few weeks of that doesn't improve things you can eliminate a whole host of things as the potential cause. |

For me that goes without saying. I have some very high end people working on my case as it’s very rare and means opportunities for them. Surgeons, professors in surgery, cardiology, neurology and specialists in rare diseases. They’re all weird and wonderful in their own way, some invest themselves emotionally but most avoid it best they can. It’s only normal and often for the best. No, these three twits were in a world of their own. I’m more amused/bemused by it than hurt. |

The twits I mean the genetics team. I was warned by a House like woman who specialises in rare diseases (and plays tennis) that they were weird. Coming from her it meant a lot. |

“Yes look at his palate, oh and check his deformed (insert name of body parts I don’t know of) and how deformed and horrible this bit of his body is omg… and how has he not had a pneumothorax yet? This is madness!” I’m about a foot away from them. Naked on a chair. Ok I’m in my briefs. That was for dramatic intent. |
