GM my fellow Bitcoining nostriches! Time for a short lesson in how to navigate the fiat landscape of healthcare (at least in the US)

A family member in another part of the US is undergoing an emergent and very painful experience. Here are the key takeaways for all you non-EMS or healthcare workers.

1. Go to the best place for healthcare in your area. Not the closest place, the best place. Don’t get cute, get to the best care and KISS. You are not a PIA and they’re paid to take care of truly ill patients. Booboos may be a different story, closest or your preference.

2. Guys especially, your toughness is not based on how much pain you can tolerate. Be smart and get some good health care immediately.

3. Your pain is yours, we can’t understand unless you speak up. And only you can rate your pain on a 1-10 scale. Think about that. This goes for mental health as well.

4. You are not a diagnosis, a label or a mistake. You are wonderfully and amazingly created. If anyone degrades you, judges you or abuses you… You need to be a safe distance from and find some appropriate help. They need help. This can get very sticky so maintain healthy boundaries.

This is written in love. I hope it’s received that way. Have a good and blessed day with your loved ones. ☀️☕️
