Damn did you message the psychologist the truth?
More like damn did you message your malpractice lawyers?
I’ve thought about it. It was all a lot to handle and I didn’t really think back to it for another year. Probably I should write her “hey, so here’s what actually happened…”
More like "hey, your actions were harmful to my health and you should reconsider your biases as a professional since it's your job to be open minded even when you think your patient is wrong"
Or at least "hey, here's my malpractice lawyer's number.
I wish I had, because they really failed and the psychologist BS was a disappointing insult on top of it. Apparently, this hospital has a reputation for doing that. It's common, in general, that if they can't figure out anything or don't want to keep trying, doctors conclude you're mentally ill or 'faking'.
If you want you can read a thread I posted on reddit asking for advice 2 years ago. As best I could gather, there's a time limit of 3 years and it was too late by the time I recovered enough to consider doing anything.
