Way too many lil dips**ts act like "may I help you?".

But they do not have the skill or authority to "help"

Nor are they willing to



Usually the greatest method of "help" is for them to shut the flying f**k up and beat is

While I don’t get asked that question and don’t have that problem (I have people to call on should I need them, but more often than not it’s me who others call to help them with moving or whatever.) I just figured I’d chime in and say it’s EXTREMELY common in the medical field that no one communicates with anyone else and patients have to explain the same whatever-it-is over and over to each nurse, doctor, insurance company representative etc etc. That’s just a normal part of dealing with medical professionals, really. You’re just frustrated because the particular question is likely a trigger for you, and understandably so.

Some people, for example, Jeanne Courtney and mister redelings, act nice and normal. But they can't be trusted to "help"


"Help," to whose satisfaction? Theirs , of course :roll:

Ulterior motive

Hidden agenda

To me, admitting that I live in a way that a medical pro can't relate to runs the risk of being institutionalized. They are only trying to help, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Once, John Duffie went to a meeting at a senior's home. The receptionist, forgetting that he had just driven there, and only asked her which direction a room was in, took him by the elbow and escorted him there.

Another problem arises, exacerbated by our usual lack of expression, if we ask for some accommodation that other people would lie to get. People are now insisting that all kinds of pets are their "support animals" on public transit.
I can tell people I moved 1,000 miles to be able to sleep, but they still think it must be a trivial problem, as it usually is for themselves.

The word "help" is so vague and sounds morally innocent

Mussolini was helping the Gestapo

Not all "help" deserves the Purple Heart Award

Not all "hurt," is a Mandated Reporter violation

Mister redelings had the nerve to tell me that "I am trying to help you"

He was not getting paid, he was not a Dr, and I called him

Good Samaritan

If , while trying to "help", he "hurt", he can't be sued

:roll:


He acted so innocent, like he had never done anything wrong before in his life


:jester:


He was homophobic


So what?


He did not invent homophobia

Just plagiarized

8O


He was an entitled homophobic lil penis

So what?


Plenty of entitled l dips**ts act not homophobic

Jeanne Courtney


"You were helping people eat"

She made it sound like they would have dropped dead otherwise. And dropping dead is always a good thing

Overpopulation


They acted all buddy buddy and indulgent


Then CIA interrogation and cross examination


When I asked Jeanne how I knew that she was notgoing to hurt me, she told me that she is not "a mean person"

Neither is mister redelings

The penis is a nice homophobic precious lil "person"


She made it sound like everyone is a mean or nice person

Only mean people hurt people


s**t I was 35 years old, not 5


Situational versus dispositional

Medical institutions often require that you have a close friend or relative to drive you home from a procedure and stay with you for 24 hours. I've had doctors admit that they don't even do that, themselves ... admit that they drive themselves home after a procedure requiring anesthesia.

We have to be our own best advocate in this as many other things. "I am autistic. I have no friends and family. Usually I prefer it that way. For my current medical situation, I need an attendant assigned that my insurance will cover. Please help me arrange this." Be prepared to hear "We don't offer anything like that," to which you will reply "Let's get the social work department to make this happen."

Yes, you might be "institutionalized" but only overnight, say, if that's what it takes for them to feel not-liable for your trip home and first night alone.

Yeah, that would be enough to ruin me before I could get out. Good food, exercise, and good sleep are the three most important things for health, and those are just what hospitals won't provide. If I'm not fit to drive, I am at least very well equipped to make a home in my car until I can, if people will let me sleep.
