Well, YOU aren’t the doctor, are you?

If you’ve ever wondered if healthcare could be any worse in this country, well, it can.

While the majority of doctors in the U.S. are already unqualified to provide true medical care, some of them also have god complexes. Forgoing the care of their patient, these self-appointed gods care only for themselves and the satisfaction of exerting power and control over their patients. I guess the power to save lives often comes at the cost of one’s soul.

Oh but don’t worry, you can just file a complaint with the DOH or something, and they’ll lose their license for sure, right? Nope. Sorry. Most complaints are never investigated, and those that are typically conclude with no action.

At least we can live healthy and avoid doctors by eating properly, exercising regularly, and staying away from bad habits? Yes and no. Firstly, some folx can’t avoid going to the doctor, such as if you have asthma, diabetes, cancer, or another permanent life-changing condition. For these folx, not seeing a doctor regualrly can be deadly. Secondly, if you had the privelige of being born healthy and staying that way, trying to live a healthy lifestyle can help, but it won’t do anything about the dirty air we breathe, nor will it remove the acid, plastic, and chemicals that are inevitably in our food, soil, and water. So kind of yes, mostly no.

To all the fellow spoonies who have to deal with this stuff on a regular basis, I feel ya, you’re not alone. This is my (Aya) actual doctor, I have eighty actuations left on my inhaler, we have no insurance, and no money, so I’m just hoping that asthma isn’t so bad when unmanaged (saying this knowing that people regularly die from inability to access a rescue inhaler 😅 ).
