I've worked medical for over a decade (10 years as OR Attendant, 4 years as Anesthesia Supply Tech, 3 years BHA)
I agree fully with the above post that so much of what makes medical terrible is the fact that patients are seen problems to be solved and that if your problem isn't easily solved it's because YOU, THE PATIENT, have fucked up in some way.
The constant assumption that if you can't be "cured" it's because you're actually just lying and it's not really that bad.
The constant assumption that if you aren't cis, het, and white then the medical workers have to be on egg shells around you or risk a lawsuit.
The constant attempts to just speak at the patient and expect that patient to believe, understand, and go along with everything you say.
This all comes down to a fundemental interpretation of the medical team being at odds with the patient.
Good medical care, the medical care we should be expecting and moving towards, is always going to be collaborative. A patient is a PART of the care team, always.
I've had patients tell me things that they never would have told the Dr. just because I sat with them for a bit and let them be very vulnerable about their thoughts and ideas.
I've had small break throughs with some of my psych patients where they literally just told me "I think it might be X based on what I read online." and we discussed why they think this and what exploring this possability would look like for them. "Yes, I can see where you're coming from. Let's explore that together and create a care plan and see what happens. Worst case scenario, we get some data to use together."
I have a lot more to say, especially on the topic of "fixing" people but that is an even longer rant and goes into ethics, a bunch of different isms, and the entire system as a whole viewing certain bodies as correct over other ones.
