Healthcare Is Causing Patients to Have PTSD

“Medical PTSD” is conventionally thought to be a thing that happens to those “suddenly” struck by a stroke, or a car accident. An acute incident, or only as chronic as curable cancer.
It seems more sensible to call that “trauma” until it has been processed. As a nation, we are really bad as processing things that don’t feel good. Not everything is a “trauma” just because it wasn’t ideal. Some of us truly are caught in an abusive relationship with doctors. The adage that “hurt people hurt people” is valid–doctors are being run into the ground. They were not given the fine print on what their job would really look like.
Thing is: patients weren’t given the fine print on what it meant to be chronically disabled, either.
We should be in this together. That our society is so narcissistic and “ruggedly individualistic” is incredibly toxic and destructive.
My PTSD inducing experiences include being bullied while experiencing symptoms from a brain cyst, TBI, telengiectasia, and an autoimmune disease that is attacking part of my brain (which is separate from the effects of my other autoimmune diseases on my brain.)
