Some Things It Is A-OK To Say To Your Doctor:

Some things it is A-OK to say to your doctor:

No

Wait

Stop 

(These are full sentences! You do not need to say any more) 

I am not comfortable. 

I am not comfortable, I would like… 

you to wait a moment.

another person in the room. 

everyone else out of the room. 

a doctor/nurse of my same gender to preform this test/procedure. 

the person who came with me to this appointment in the room. 

you to explain everything before you begin. 

you to tell me what you are doing as you go. 

to do this another day. 

I want to get a second opinion before we proceed.

I don’t understand, please repeat that. 

I don’t understand, please explain more simply. 

Please say that slower/spell that, I want to do some research myself.

I would like to talk to [someone in my life, ie my parents to SO] before making this decision. 

No, I do not need to talk to [anyone] before making this decision, I am confidant on my own and am ready to proceed. 

What are the side effects of this medication/procedure? What are the potential complications? 

Why are you recommending/prescribing this specific thing? 

What other treatment options are there? Why are you choosing this?

Would your treatment plan be different if I were a man/woman older/younger had kids, etc? Why are you choosing this one then?

IS there anything I should know about this treatment you have not yet told me?  

I understand you say not to, but If I choose to do X, against medical advice, what risks am I running? (ie taking recreational drugs while on medication)

How much will this cost? 

Are there any less expensive options/tests we can run first? 

Is there a generic of this medication you can prescribe instead?

I think you are not understanding me, I said…

You are not listening to me, please let me finish describing my symptoms. 

You are not understanding how much pain I am in, let me clarify… 

I do not think it is anxiety/depression/my weight/etc, what else could it potentially be? 

I think by assuming it is anxiety/depression/my weight/etc you are ignoring some symptoms. Please listen again and let’s discuss what else it could be. 

Please write in my chart that you are not testing for X and why not. 

I am in enough pain/this is detrimental enough to my life that non-treatment is not an option. If you can not treat this/figure out what is wrong, to whom can you refer me?

Please write (or help me write) a summary of what we did today so I don’t forget 

What are our next steps? 

If [what you are recommending] is ineffective, what would my next steps be? What other doctor should I talk to? 

What is the best way to contact you if I have additional questions or issues? 

Remember, a doctor is a person YOU pay because they know a lot about bodies in general, to help you figure out whats best for YOUR body. It is still your body, not theirs! They know about medicine but you are the expert in your body. Don’t let them act like they own you. Don’t leave if you’ve still got questions, don’t stay if you’re uncomfortable, and feel free to insist on ANY information you want.

Then tell him! It's important that he knows if your uncomfortable!

I do not want to make him feel like I regret being with him or that his affections are not returned. I don't want to hurt him.

What This Is All About

Admin: Hello! This is a blog that has already existed for a while and i used to use for rp, but i don’t much anymore so i decided to use it for a different rp. This blog will be a part of an already going rp i’m doing over at @anxiouslyvirgil. It’s basically just Virgil posting about his housemates (Roman, Logan, Patton, Dee, and Remy) and all the stuff that goes on in his day-to-day life. I dub it a college AU since they’re all housemates because they all go to the same college. 

This blog will be pretty much the same thing but from Logan’s point of view. I’ll do my best not to make them repetitive

SO some things you should know if you’re new: 

Logan and Roman are a couple 

Virgil and Patton are a couple 

They’re all either sophomores or juniors in college (i honestly can’t remember) 

Please read the Rules and Disclaimers over on the virgil’s blog. It just sets some boundaries for my own comfort and to make sure we’re all on the same page. i’d appreciate it if you followed them. 

Everything on the rules post applies to both blogs, even if the wording favors the virgil one. just replace his name with Logan’s. 

And I’m Specs! Yes i know that’s a nickname for Logan, but it’s also what i go by on Tumblr so...yeah. Let’s try to avoid the confusion when we can, lol. 

You can find me over at @sanders-specs so if you reply to a post and i reply back you know it’s me since this is just a side blog and tumblr doesn’t let you reply to posts on your side blog. 

About Logan

His parents are controlling and emotionally abusive (feel free to ask him more about it, and i will be tagging it as #tw emotional abuse for those of you who want to block it) 

The boy loves space 

He’s stubborn and short tempered sometimes

He’s got a little sibling he absolutely loves and will do just about anything for 

He’s a giant sucker for Roman 

He cares very very deeply about all of his housemates even if he won’t show it 

He can’t flirt to save his life, but boy does he try because it makes Roman happy

He’s asexual 

About Virgil

He fucking adores Patton, man, like...so much 

He’s a little whiny but most of the time it’s all in good fun

He is also stubborn and short tempered at times, though not quite like Logan

He and Dee don’t get along that well and argue a lot 

He cares about all of his housemates, though, even Dee 

His parents love him but sometimes a little too much. Like when he’s sick or hurt they get a little controlling over his care 

this bothers Patton to no end and annoys Virgil 

Sometimes he doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut 

He’s gay

In my eyes, good conversation is the birthplace of true attraction. So open up and share with me every encounter and experience that shaped you into who you are today. Tell me all about your hopes and dreams and captivate me with your passions. Arouse my curiosity and you'll have my attention.

Hi Logan! I was wondering if you could tell me what it is like living with the others? And, I see you very much like crofters, so what is your favorite flavor?

Living with the others is like living in a zoo. Sometimes you never see anyone, and then sometimes everyone is out and then the entire place becomes a mess and usually some strange concoction gets made in the kitchen, usually something Roman or Remy or Virgil come up with.

As for your second question, I do have a particular fondness for regular strawberry however all of Crofters Jam is good. There is not a flavor I would turn down

We are all but dust and dirt

Nothing more than the ground we walk on

But for this brief time we are glorious,

Magnificent creatures given a chance to see the stars

Place your bare feet on the grass

And breathe in the air around

Dip your hands into a cold lake

Feel the heat of a raging fire

Let the rain run down your hair

And bathe in the morning light

With every sunrise we’re given a gift

A chance to be better than yesterday

So take a step no matter how small

And make someone smile before you go

From a world where every moment

Can be worth more than drops of pure gold

(i'm new so sorry if someone already said this) You say you don't have emotions, but Roman's your boyfriend which means you must love him in someway but love is a emotion and is also linked with other emotions such as happiness and compassion and may lead to jealousy and anger so how do you explain that??

It is not that I do not have emotions, it is that I do not let my emotions rule over every part of myself like some others do. I prefer to think rationally rather than emotionally, which I suppose can come off as if I do not “feel” anything. 

However with Roman it is quite...difficult to think with anything but my emotions at times. Everything about my relationship with him is new and strange to me, so I am still figuring out the difference between my emotional responses versus my rational responses. 

((Hi friend! Sorry for taking so long to reply, tumblr isn’t sending me notifications for asks for whatever reason. In case you haven’t already check out the what this is all about and rules and disclaimers posts. Let me know if you have any questions too!))
