#the way i perceive healthcare you have to forcibly impose your own agency on doctors be willfull be knowledgable
Text
one good thing about the 21st century is telehealth. if i had to actually make an appt w/ my primary care doctor every time i needed more meds i would lose my mind
#like. the in-person healthcare system is so fucked#i would have to wait weeks to see ''my'' primary care doctor in person and i'm out of my antidepressants now#so i would just be in misery for 2 weeks#but instead i can just make a virtual appt w/ some random doctor and be like hey give me more meds.#and theyll be like 'well hows your dose do we need to adjust-'#and ill be like NAAAUURRR no. its been almost 5 years im happy w my meds just give. me. more.#and theyll be like okay.#same day appointment w/ a copay thats the same as if i went to my doctor in person#today im gonna try to get an amount thats longer than 90 days i cant be paying $100+ every 3 months just to get a refill#the other day my mom was complaining about how she's been on her antidepressants for 10 years-#-and no doctor ever suggested weaning off and she was like 'someone should have suggested that to me-#-bc i just got complacent and now ive been taking antidepressants for 10 years and thats not healthy'#and i was like why are you acting like you have no agency in your own healthcare. if you wanted to wean off then why didnt you just-#-suggest it yourself#the way i perceive healthcare you have to forcibly impose your own agency on doctors be willfull be knowledgable#theyre there to listen to you and diagnose/prescribe based on your direction especially w/ mental health/antidepressants#i weaned myself from 200mg/daily to 100mg/daily bc i was like i dont need this much. i just did it myself
