    Re “provider”: If you learn that a word used to describe them bothers individuals in a group, do you: ✅ Avoid using that word 🚫 Keep using that word, and insist that those who are bothered are too sensitive and overreacting There is a term for the second option, by the way.

        🤣 I’ve always found “provider” very odd & actively avoid using it ... I feel it commodifies & depersonalises healthhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1107278 …

        I’ve often felt that way about “first responder”.

        Are you trying to conflate use of a term to group disparate types of medical professionals who perform similar or related functions with the use of race-, gender-, religion-, or sexuality-based slurs?

        Privilege will lead a guy to do just that, and, yes, that's the implication I got.

        Health care "provider" is a generic term for not only physicians but also nurses, EMTs, medical technicians in labs, phlebotomists, transporters, health office admin, etc. Would you prefer that I spend 5 minutes listing them all, or could you provide a new term for people to use?

        I mean, sure, if an individual is offended by being called a health care provider, then I can determine what term to use since they have an individual job title. But I can't just stop using a generic term for an entire class of jobs without starting to use something else.
