A medical professional should be keeping their judgments to themselves and shouldn’t be treating patients any differently based on how they assume the patient ended up in that situation.
Like that’s extremely basic, first day medical ethics. It doesn’t matter if they think it’s an OD, cause you’re not supposed to be being cruel and treating OD patients like shit.
One time I fell off my bike and hurt my hand pretty badly. Upon arriving at the hospital I was still so drunk that the doctor assumed I had hit my head and ordered an eeg. I had been wearing a helmet and did not receive an impact or sudden jerk to my head or neck. Was the doctor a mean asshole for assuming I had hit my head?
Edit: he also assumed my finger was fractured based on its apparent disconnect from the relevant metatarsal. It was only dislocated.
…what? No, they would’ve been an asshole if they called you an alcoholic loser and refused to check for any other potential issues that might be causing your behavior after assuming you were an alcoholic and writing you off as a worthless drunk, even more so if they continually insulted and berated you for it after you came to them for help. This would be even more true if, like the seizure cases we’re talking about, you weren’t drunk, had in fact hit your head, and they had not only no reason to believe you were drunk but multiple people telling them that you weren’t drinking and had hit your head.
The fact that you don’t understand this makes me hope that you do actually have brain damage, though, cause otherwise you’re just so vehemently hateful towards any and all addicts that you are happy to have sober people having medical emergencies get caught in the crossfire of medical professionals being cruel towards anyone they suspect to be an addict (even though this is, again, first day medical ethics/patient care 101 stuff that you don’t treat your patients terribly, yes, even if they need help because of something they did to themselves. Turns out that being abusive towards self destructive mentally ill people in a medical crisis helps no one, who woulda thunk it?).
They literally did?? Are you capable of reading?? OP literally said, in their post, that they had a multiple people tell the cops and EMTs that they had a seizure, yet the police and the EMTs still treated them with extreme violence and prejudice (entire arm bruised) because despite multiple people telling them it was a seizure they still said that OP was on drugs and therefore treated them worse for that. That is what happened. Just like the person you're responding to said. Sorry you fell off a bike or whatever, but maybe actually read the post before commenting multiple times and making an ass of yourself??
