✨ The second We, The Patients conference is now available! 🎉
On October 9th in Madrid, we had the honor of hosting Isabel López Ramos, a lawyer and patient advocate, who clarified key patient rights and explained the difference between disability and incapacity.
At We, The Patients, we aim to create a supportive space for medical cannabis patients to learn, connect, and feel empowered.

June is Informed Consent Month in our District – where we share information about informed consent, how you can get involved in discussions about your care, and where to find out more – such as on our website here: https://lnkd.in/gH3xZ4Xk.
This year, we’re focusing on Substitute Decision Making.
Are you someone living with an intellectual disability? Do you have a carer or are you a carer? It’s OK to have a family member, carer or close friend who may be a carer support you when talking to your doctor or other health care provider. They can help you make a decision about a test, treatment or surgery being recommended.
Some people may not be able to make a healthcare decision and will need a ‘substitute decision maker’.

If you feel like the physician I discuss in this excerpt, you are not alone.
It does not take hours of learning to change.
It takes a willingness to review, reflect, and improve.
Ultimately, you and your patients will benefit more than you ever could imagine.

Have you ever felt dismissed or had your health concerns downplayed by medical professionals? You could be experiencing "medical gaslighting" - when doctors invalidate or ignore a patient's symptoms. This disturbing phenomenon can lead to misdiagnoses, delayed treatment, and unnecessary suffering. Recognizing the signs of medical gaslighting is crucial.
Watch out for doctors using negative language, attributing your issues to your weight/gender/race, or making you doubt your own experiences. Women and minorities are particularly vulnerable.
Don't let yourself be gaslit! Be your own advocate - prepare for appointments, ask questions, get second opinions if needed.
Consider working with a patient advocate who can ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected. Your health and well-being deserve to be taken seriously.
Speak up against medical gaslighting and demand the care you deserve.

Dr. Miriam Grossman is one of my favorite thought leaders in the battle against so-called "gender affirming care." In the medical community, we've experienced several historical episodes of barbaric practices, including lobotomies, for which Dr. António Egas Moniz won the 1949 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. We look back on lobotomies with horror and we should have exactly the same reaction to the butchery performed by medical practitioners who engage in irreversible and sterilizing surgical procedures on young, impressionable gender dysphoric patients. And unfortunately, most of these patients are young girls suffering from a multitude of other mental health co-comorbidities including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). What's the take-away? Firstly, children should not be subject to procedures that render them permanently sterile and mutilated. Secondly, hospitals, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies absolutely love having what I call 'permanent patients,' who need to be on life-long meds and hormone therapy. This is capitalism at its absolute worst. And finally, I've been saying this for some time now, and I believe that every single medical practitioner involved in "gender affirming care" should have their licenses permanently revoked and, for those involved in barbaric surgeries on minors, they should at minimum serve life sentences in prison for crimes against humanity.
