We have a fanpage on Facebook, we- I'm tired
I'm not even the one for the hospital, why are you here?
(Um. I'm dying of jaundice)
Can you please look at this angle (oh yeah, its the worst angle in the world)
Wait, its not about jaundice, the fuck you talkin' about, you have a kidney injection
(Yeah I have a kidney infection)
Oh yeah we talked about this in our last podcast. This is different cos this is-he- the antibiotics aren't working
Um, do you wanna talk about what just happened though
*laughing* (So, uhh, the nurse was talking about catheters, cos we didn't know...they're not gonna hear me) *laughing*
There you go (So while I was- I look great.
so she's talking about catheters
Is she coming?)
Nope
(And uhh, I didn't know that it was just like, it could be like, this
I thought it had to be like, in the bladder
(And she said "no it could be anywhere, in your bladder, in your arm, in your penis)
(And she gestured) Pointed
To the peen
(And I was like-)
And this is my face the whole time
(*laughing*)
Cos she couldn't see me, no no, but literally I was standing
right here, and I was looking at him like-
(I just looked like a 12 year old boy who laughs at the word 'penis' cos I was like-)
I know he went like 'hee hee hee'
And then she told us the story about the *laughs*
catheterising a penis I was like 'thanks, thanks that was great'
I don't know where the camera is
So hopefully you good
Do you see how yellow he is?
(I'm not well *laughs*)
show the hand, the other hand
Look at that
I don't know why we're showing this, people might be triggered by medical stuff
Things have happened in this hospital, I've been in this room before
Had a bladder infection once
Which I talk about often cos obviously I have no other stories
We're in the like, cremation-no! *laughing*
Ceramic room
Cremation, Jesus Christ
('Well Aaron, you're fucked now')
You know that he had to take like a like thirty minute uber to come here, cos he doesn't
live anywhere near this goddamn hospital. (And my parents don't know what answering the phone is)
(When I call to see if they need anything, I call and there's like crickets in the background)
Crickets!
(My mom lives two streets away, I'm like I know you're home)
I know- I can see your lights are on, woman
Maybe she's with Tony
(No she texted me and was like 'I was dying Lynda's hair' I'm like-)
(She's a hairdresser, but its funnier without that context)
But she's also a psychic
(A psychic)
She goes into trans (Tran. She's tran) She's transing
But yeah, so I wanna talk about, maybe just a little quick the experiences
of tran up in here. So I've had bad experience in this hospital, this is Montreal General Hospital
Um, just with them like not using my name, and like
Asking if I still have a penis, and like thinking I'm a transwoman, like what?
umm, but for some reason, Aaron's lucky as fuck, and he got some good experiences
so last time, the nurse actually asked, said "oh, Aaron's your name" cos I said 'Aaron'
and then she was like 'how do you spell that' I was like what?
And also she was like 'oh I don't know that much about testosterone, but like, blah blah blah'
and like asked- asked questions, not like 'oh have you had the surgery'
no-one asked if you had surgery
(Yeah)
No-one. Um
Which has like never happened, and I'm like-
And then, today, um, *whispering* they said the name
Ugh, but then I asked, I was like 'do you think that you could call him Aaron
cos that's his name he goes by' and they're like sure, we'll put in a note and then we'll see
And they didn't. (oh yeah)
And then the nurse thought you were cissy
The penis
(Is it the jogging pants? Do they give like) They don't, you're like concave
I'm kidding! Convex? No, concave right?
(I considered it but then I was like if I have to like
(drop my drawers) The peen's gonna like roll out
But uhh
I'm like very pleased with the
(Yeah. I've had really good luck when I come here)
I think that we're gonna have to (angle, this is bad, this is..and my-)
(am I your dream boy?) And like, we're gonna have to report
more on the fact that the (They're so good with trans patients) Yeah (They're really good) Like, really good
(mhm)
And I was just here but I've had my name and gender marker changed, and, they asked about
the surgery
here, they were like what's the surgery from, and I was like 'oh, I'm trans' and they were like 'okay, that's okay'
And I didn't have to explain more
(Yeah, like did they have sensitivity training or something? Like, how do they know?
Right? Cos, they definitely didn't have it 6 years ago when I was here
(They have like, proper etiquette, like some people have bad trans etiquette)
(But they're.....) I was like five years ago
Anyways, this is a short one
So its raining but we're out
Kidney injection still live
Gonna come back tomorrow for an ultrasound, I like that I'm telling the people
and that you're not telling them (*laughs*)
We're on our way home, its pouring rain though
(They left the needle in my arm and I'm very anxious about it)
Trigger alert
(I was very masc about it, so its okay)
