I've been watching a YouTube series about an A&E department in a UK hospital, and I'm becoming disturbed by how judgemental the staff are, separating patients into those "there through no fault of their own" and those "who have brought it on themselves"...1/ #MedTwitter #MedEd

What the #StreamlineSurgical troll has demonstrated is a phenomenon all too common in medicine: if an organization lacks the expertise to deal with disabled/mentally unwell/neurodivergent patients - as they so often do - the PATIENTS will be blamed. #ShawSomers #GuySlater #MedEd

Activists/advocates of my generation know that we probably won't see any major reduction in #Stigma and #Discrimination toward those with #SevereMentalIllness #SeriousMentalIllness in our lifetime. What we are doing now is for future generations; we won't live long enough. #MedEd

The constant thought today: if I EXPECT HCPs to be inhuman, I'll be able to deal with them better. Expecting Shaw Somers to be kind was my biggest mistake where #StreamlineSurgical was concerned. Kindness is impossible - he's a doctor. This was a valuable LESSON. #MedEd

What patients see as “advocacy” is seen by many clinicians as “harassment". Patients who stand up for their rights and protest about inadequate services/discrimination are often demonized by HCPs. This is true for all patients, not just those of us with mental illness. #MedEd

What patients see as pursuing accountability is seen by many clinicians as "harassment". HCPs who refuse to be held accountable for their actions or those of their subordinates must be challenged. This is true for all patients, not just those of us with mental illness. #MedEd

1/ It might surprise people to learn that stigma and discrimination of those with SMI (severe/serious mental illness) can come from other mentally unwell people. #MentalHealth #BipolarClub #Bipolar #Schizophrenia #Schizoaffective #Psychosis #Mania #Depression #Stigma #MedEd

Lacking knowledge of mental illness and neurological conditions, clinicians make excuses, close the door and abandon us. They call this "professionalism" to avoid responsibility #StreamlineSurgical #ShawSomers #GuySlater #DeniseRatcliffe #MentalHealth #MedTwitter #MedEd #Medicine

Clinicians need to realize that their stigmatization of the mentally unwell can lead us to hide our illnesses from them, with possibly fatal results. #StreamlineSurgical #ShawSomers #GuySlater #DeniseRatcliffe #MentalHealth #MedTwitter #MedEd #Stigma #Discrimination

1/ It seems that some clinicians would rather completely deny MH patients treatment than "risk" them not being able to "comply". #MentalHealth #StreamlineSurgical #ShawSomers #GuySlater #DeniseRatcliffe #MedTwitter #MedEd

I want to start a new hashtag: #MentalHealthUnawarenessAwareness because that's what I've been posting about just lately: the fact that so many HCPs THINK they are MH-aware when actually they aren't. #MentalHealth #MedTwitter #MedEd #MentalHealthAwareness #Advocacy #MHStigma
