Every few months I need to attend a pharmacy to grab a medication. A lot of people who take this medication are ex substance users.
I have a great relationship with the owner, and she often is quite flexible and friendly with me. At times I’ve had to call her mobile to get her to explain something to the pharmacist whose serving me because they’ve made a mistake.
Generally their treatment of people such as myself is quite poor.
The pharmacists she employs absolutely hate my guts. I think they’re annoyed that someone who they consider scum is doing quite well. And to be honest, I play it up when I’m there lol
I love every minute of it.
If you want to play the superficial status game, then I’m going to rub it in your fucking face lol
I do get it. I was taken to emergency by ambulance once , just in a terrible crippling pain, there was a nurse who I could tell actively hated me and thought I was faking. I had pink hair and an old detroit tshirt. The doctor brought in neurosurgeons and I was diagnosed with severe sciatica. Nurse was still angry and basically dumped me on the street when the specialists were done. I had to hail a cab myself.
Yep. Being followed around shops because you have weird hair and piercings is one thing, poor healthcare because of incorrect assumptions is a whole different matter.

I just don’t understand, aren’t they supposed to be people who want to help others?
Sure. Normal people. Not people like myself and others like me.
All healthcare is like this for us.

Even if the assumptions are correct. It’s not a reason to treat people like they’re refuse.
True. Apologies for seeming to imply otherwise.
It’s all good :)
Its sadly true.
The ones who try to belittle me, are the ones I make sure understand where exactly they sit in societies bullshit superficial capitalistic ladder.
Nurses and pharmacists. It’s always those 2.
Am Nurse, can confirm that some nurses have forgotten that they are not superior beings.
