that neurologist is by far the most useful doctor i’ve ever seen, she said this was unnecessary transphobic bullshit, did some tests, diagnosed me with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, thanked me for seeing a therapist every week and getting a seizure alert dog on my own

then after that he said he needed BOTH letters. this was at 5pm, the night before i was scheduled to have surgery.

somehow an on call cardiologist was able to see me this morning, and took a third EKG. he started laughing and said the anaesthesiologist has said “some strange things that didn’t make any sense”

so previously, when the anaesthesiologist said i was a “pretty young woman with unexplained seizures” and that i couldn’t have surgery because of it, he took an EKG immediately AFTERWARDS, while i was shaking from rage and on the verge of tears

he apparently then went around with the bad result telling the other doctors that he suspected atrial fibrillation, hypertrophic, and some other mishmash of cardiac conditions, presumedly as yet another way to try to block me from getting surgery?

can’t even imagine how transphobic someone would have to be to be so hell bent on denying someone care, but i guess the answer is, this fucking guy

anyway my heart is fine, the cardiologist was nice and said “i’m not a neurologist but you really are a textbook case of someone with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures”

your anesthesiologist is shit. Seizures are NOT a problem for Anesthesia. We provide Anesthesia to kids as part of their work up for seizures. Call him out, call the patient advocate.
