ADHD and Navigating Healthcare Systems

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: navigating the US healthcare system is a Kafkaesque executive dysfunction nightmare: -2019 GYN appointment: given a referral for an ultrasound and mammogram. This was before I was taking medication for my ADHD, and I didn’t even know who to call to make an appointment, so my referral paper sat on my table until the referral literally expired. *insert feelings of shame*

-Put off scheduling my 2020 annual GYN appointment for months, because of the pandemic.

-Executive functioning struggles have prevented me from scheduling my appointment until recently, because my medication dosage needed to be increased, and I’ve been really busy.

-Given a referral for that same ultrasound, but at least I was provided additional information about who to call this time.

-Call to schedule radiology appointment as soon as I got home from appointment (higher medication dosage helps immensely with executive functioning).

-Sat on hold for 20 minutes.

-Receptionist, whose phone is crackling and I can only hear every other word she’s saying, tells me, verbatim, “your mammogram referral can’t be written this way. It has to be written differently.”

-Me: “What do you mean differently? How should it be written differently?”

-Receptionist: “It can’t be written this way. Your doctor will know how to write it.”

?????

-Call GYN back and tell them this, with what little information I have, and they tell me that they will have the doctor change it.

-And now…what? I wait? I don’t know how long until they will change it in the system so that I can call the radiologist back. My brain operates like: “now or never, and needs obvious but novel/unexpected visual cues to remember,” so there is a very short window of opportunity here to actually do this.

And people wonder why folks with ADHD struggle to take care of their health. It’s such a nightmare, every time, and any failure to navigate the system makes you feel incompetent and ashamed.

Absolutely stunning!!!

“I know just the book you’re looking for. Here— don’t mind the moss, it’s part of the magic. But remember, you must return it by the due date, or the butterflies will find you.”

Absolutely spectacular!!!!

The crossover I never knew I needed in my life is here and I love it!

First page of a Gravity Falls AU Comic featuring Hitoshi and Eri! Still coming up with a name for the AU…

Far darker than the original, but hopefully they’ll get their found family in the end (and yes a found family can be two kids, a tired man and a cosmic chaotic being) ;)

They’re gonna get a bit of a surprise… Reblogs are appreciated!

I think this is something that we all need to hear! :)
