I'm the COO of a small Telehealth startup. We actually have the ability to obtain vital signs, ekg, blood work and more through our unique mode of practice. We offer virtual primary care. Oh and we also don't shove woke gobblygook down your throat.
So, she was assigned to you. Did you disrespect her wishes to be called she or her (if that was in fact what they wanted) during the consult? Or is that just something you do here?
He stated the patient was a man. So it would make no sense to use the pronouns she or her. More to the point, during the actual consultation with the patient there would never be any need to use third person pronouns. The doctor would never be in a position to use the words "she" or "her" in his conversations with the patient. Perhaps he might have been required to use the title "Ms" in directly addressing him, but that would be only for the purpose of accommodating the patient's mental illness and not distract from the subject of the consultation.
It would appear you embrace the idea that people have an obligation to speak about such individuals in a manner dictated by the individual's delusions, rather than objective reality. Cassandra, I don't think your position will stand the test of time. I think its days are numbered.

I'm interested
Awesome - how do we go about this? Does Substack have direct messages?
I'm new here so I'm not sure. Let me see.
I hate what is happening and am sorry for your situation. Hoping you get a better one!

No. I asked this patient what name they preferred and I used that.

Cassandra. Is snark your usual tone or do you just do that here in substack?
