  • This has happened to me in the worst possible way not long ago:

    I got involved in a car crash (ugly thing, a truck hit me while I was in my car stopped in a traffic jam and the asshole was looking at his phone so he didn’t see the cars in front of him) and ended in the hospital.

    On thursday morning, they told me that they would send me to OR to fix my broken vertebra at 16.00. At 20.00 I was still waiting and nobody had given me a reason. At 21.00 they finally decided (after I got angry) to tell me that I wasn’t going to OR due to an unexpected emergency. I’d be having the surgery instead early in the next morning.

    At 11.00 of that next day I snapped because I was still waiting without any information at all and couldn’t hold it anymore so I started yelling. They knew (I told them) that I was autistic. They decided to ignore my constant request for even the slightest info to make the wait more bearable, I ended up yelling and I was told that I was acting childish.

    I went to OR at 14.00 that day.

    Worst time ever I’ve spent in a hospital.
