The #DoctorsAreDickheads hashtag is wrong& should not be used to tar every 1.
My family have experienced the worst of all- cover up, deceit, collusion &concealment.
But listen to my parents below.
"Everyone in life makes mistakes".
More importantly - no more cover up!pic.twitter.com/j73Q3LDZew

That's unimaginably awful! The pain and the damage done to so many people are beyond words. I'd imagine it's very hard to trust any doctor after such shocking things happened to you.
-
It is, and I could go on even - eg/ about the doctor who told me to drown my cat in the lake to cure my allergies (I was like 6). I know the hashtag is offensive, but the discussion desperately needs to happen. Victims are being ignored, even branded as "trolls"...

You poor kid (I know you're grown up now :-)). If anyone told me to drown my cat in the lake I'd be beside myself. So cruel. You're right that the discussion desperately needs to happen. But problem with the # is that it's nasty and I won't stoop to nasty. This is too important.

Yeah, I was just stunned and cried as I recall. My mom was furious. I agree that it's not an ideal hashtag. It's provoking a response by being confrontational, but sadly not so many good responses. If you have ideas for a better wording, maybe we can do better next time.
-
Good for your mum. I hope she gave him/her hell. What about "DamagedByMedics" or "NotTreatedWithCare" or "LetDownByDoctors" Anything is going to sound tame by comparison, but we have to avoid being "doctorist". And anyway, it isn't always just doctors who cause the damage.
-
Hey, all three of those are better than anything I came up with, lol. I definitely apppreciate phrasing that doesn't insinuate ALL doctors are dickheads. Some are doing their best, others not so much. I'll keep those suggestions in mind and share them, thanks for your input!

Happy to help! I know what it's like to be damaged in a hospital and to be treated by arrogant doctors. But I also know that some doctors are good and kind and professional.
