It was a very mixed experience. The MA was really weirdly confrontational.
I validated the doc and imaging are awesome. And the problems. In full. She heard me out.
Doc gave me what I needed, and a means to handle all care and even scheduling via direct messaging with her. She even heard me out on the reality that hit me as I sat there: I have a physical disability that is visible, and while it doesn’t slow me down, I do get the occasional parental response to being visibly disabled. That might have played a role. Annnnd the snark and mishandling of the mistake by talking down to me like a confused 2 year old didn’t exactly distance the simple mistake further from the very tangled and too recent history of unwanted sterilizations for people with disabilities. It didn’t reassure me I had agency and voice over my own body, which is what I’m sure the doc wanted.
Doc did admit multiple mistakes were made and she understands why I would not feel safe to do any procedures. Ya think? Sigh.
I got the orders I needed for imaging and plan for access that would avoid all the snarky jerks.
Better than expected results.
