Wish I could say the same, I browse while on lunch break. I’m a desensitised ghoul though. Animal cruelty and child cruelty is where I struggle, so not a complete heartless weirdo. Working in the care sector means you see and deal with a lot of unpleasantness and must remain composed.
Some people, like me and you, I guess, have a really high tolerance for blood and gore. Some people apparently just like, faint at the sight of a tiny amount of it? can't relate imo. But child and animal abuse make me cry really quick too, even if these amateur-hour SRS results no longer make much of an impression.
Sadly it's a veritable gold mine for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. Permanent dependency on drugs AND countless surgeries? It's too good for them to pass up so I have no doubt they'll open the lobbying cash floodgates to keep it legal
The industrialists would feed the dairy cows distillery swill and cut their products with inedible gypsum if there wasn't a large, powerful regulatory body to stop them from putting that shit up for sale, and medicine is no different. SRS surgeons are in SRS because it pays well and they don't need to have good (or even ANY) surgical skills. They're negligent in their follow-up care and tell patients to slap Neosporin on it and don't show the infection to any other doctor (because that might actually have professional consequences for these ghouls.)
The patients tolerate it because they want SRS and are willing to race to the bottom to find a doctor willing to go ahead with them. Concurrent medical problems (e.g. High BMI) that should get patients take out of queue are treated like nice-to-have suggestions. Pre-surgical procedures that shouldn't be optional (like electrolysis) are, because they're an additional expense and the patients will accuse providers of "gatekeeping" if they act to prevent the patient from getting a stinkditch. Even if it’s one that’s destined to be perennially clogged with scrotal hair.
Basically, this doesn't change until the medical malpractice payouts for SRS are so common and unbearably high that surgeons aren't willing to do the surgery because it's no longer profitable. Hospitals, ditto: they're only going to ban SRS in their OR suites when it's clear that SRS =/= massive incoming insurance payouts, but rather SRS = inevitable lawsuit against hospital because Dr. Anger (real name) sewed a patient's ass to their elbow on purpose.
This court isn't as friendly to planned parenthood (who now make the most of their money from transition, before it was abortion). Don't lose hope! That's what they want.
I genuinely have no idea where HRT and SRS come into being a part of parenthood or planning for parenthood. It’s the only clinic I know whose services are dictated by political ideology rather than purpose or patient need.
Does PP actually do the surgeries, or just the hormones? And what's the profit breakdown? Very interesting.
They don’t do the surgeries. They hand out HRT on informed consent basis and then bill the troon’s insurance.
