I couldn't fall asleep last night so I had some medical alcohol - a few shots of vodka did the trick!

Medical treatments

You fucking hear this guy? This is why I don't believe rich people are particularly intelligent.

Hym "He says 'medical treatments shouldn't not be based on feelings' and he says it in relationship to trannies. Ok... ALL NON-WOUND MEDICAL TREATMENT... Is predicated on 'feeling.' Your internal state is deviating from (either) your previous internal state OR the base-line internal state of the average person. It's all predicated on a self-reported non-concordance between yourself and one of those two internal states. And BEYOND THAT... ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT... Is predicated on 'feelings.' The entire practice. (Unless (of course) your one of the online therapy hacks downstream of Jordan Peterson, in which case, you just aren't treated and are just told to replace your current source of dopamine with things they would subjectively rather see people do). So no. He's retarded. That's a retarded thing to think. That thought can only exist within a retarded mind. This is what I mean when I say these people a solipsistic. They do not accept the legitimacy of the internal beings of other people."

Medical Strudent

Medical Strudent (noun)

A curious hybrid of “strident” and “medical student,” denoting a medical student who exhibits a combination of intellectual fervor, unshakable self-assurance, and, at times, a certain proclivity for ostentatiousness.

The medical strudent, often hailing from an upper-echelon background (or at least projecting such airs), navigates academic halls with the determination of one destined to cure humanity’s ills—or at least command its admiration. With an unyielding belief in their burgeoning expertise, they are as quick to correct as they are to champion their own brilliance.

Though their demeanor may verge on the abrasive, their intent is rarely malevolent; it is simply the side effect of carrying the world’s health on their impeccably broad shoulders (or so they imagine). A medical strudent’s existence is a blend of caffeine-fueled cramming, lofty ambitions, and the occasional display of privilege cloaked in medical jargon—sprinkled, of course, with a hint of endearing charm that almost makes their audacity forgivable.

"During the lecture on advanced diagnostics, the medical strudent in the front row interrupted the professor with a pointed correction, their voice ringing with the confidence of one who had clearly read half the textbook—and with all the conviction of someone destined to revolutionize medicine."

Medical Bigotry

Systemic prejudice within healthcare systems that leads to discriminatory diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes based on a patient's race, gender, disability, socioeconomic status, or perceived credibility. It goes beyond individual bias to include institutional practices, diagnostic criteria, and research gaps that systematically disadvantage certain groups. It manifests as dismissing pain, attributing symptoms to psychological causes without evidence, or providing less aggressive care based on biased assumptions.

Example: Studies show Black patients are systematically under-treated for pain compared to white patients, based on false beliefs about biological differences in pain tolerance. Women with heart attacks are more likely than men to have their symptoms dismissed as "anxiety," leading to fatal delays in care. Patients with psychiatric diagnoses often have their physical symptoms automatically attributed to their mental health condition ("diagnostic overshadowing"). This is bigotry baked into the structure of medical knowledge and practice. Medical Bigotry.

Medical Slurs

Derogatory terms or labels, often disguised as clinical language, used to discredit, demean, or pathologize a person's lived experience, identity, or health complaints. These are not formal diagnoses but weaponized pseudo-clinical terms deployed to dismiss patients (especially from marginalized groups) by implying their problems are "all in their head," a sign of weakness, or a character flaw. They shortcut medical investigation by blaming the patient.

Example: A woman with debilitating, unexplained chronic pain is told she's just "hysterical" (a term with a deeply sexist history pathologizing the uterus). A patient with complex symptoms is labeled a "frequent flyer" or "hypochondriac" by staff, ensuring their future concerns are met with eye-rolls, not exams. The slur "crocks" (for patients with "crock" of complaints) is used in some hospital slang. These terms serve to gatekeep medical resources and absolve clinicians from diagnostic effort. Medical Slurs.

medical misogyny

Medical misogyny (n.) — The unconscious, or conscious prejudice that women receive when receiving treatment in healthcare settings such as hospitals, family doctors, or outpatient clinics. Often minimised, and a common refrain is to say it doesn't exist in the 21st century, which is patently false simply by asking any woman her experiences.

The experiences of many women in healthcare can be summarised through the lens of medical misogyny.
