I have been a nurse for 22 years and I can not believe this lack of compassion and empathy is still out there. It enrages me. I loved the last response in the video: "Our lives depend on their capacity to care". I took an oath to do this and it is in my practice to treat everyone with respect.
Great video but how are you gon tell a story about Adam wanting to be called Emily and then misgender her, It's the little things folks this could've been caught and corrected in editing.
I have a question regarding this video. Why does a healthcare provider need to know this? A person's thinking has little relevance on if a person has an infection, disease, plague, etc? Gender does not determine the severity of Cancer. Or if one contracted a viral or bacterial infection? Healthcare is based on anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, etc.
Stephen Ferris Hello Steven, I hope my response answers your question. When caring for patients, a primary objective for health care providers is to establish a therapeutic relationship with patients in order to promote healthy lives. When working with LGBTQ patients, it is important to develop trust to counteract the discriminations or stigma they previously had experienced in health care. During an exchange, the health care staff may display negative verbal or non verbal behaviors based on biases that can be internalized by the patient and may lead to worse physical healthcare outcomes. Therefore, it is important to be aware of any biases or stereotypes you may have towards this community. This is the first step in becoming a cultural competent health care provider. Yes, you must be aware of the sciences when caring for your patients. However, health care is much more holistic. It aims to take care of all factors of health and illness, spiritual, physical, psychological, and sociological. Holistic care treats the whole person, rather than just the disease or illness.
As long as there is potential discrimination for being part of LGBT, there will be reticence in sharing the information with the medical community. We want to be treated for whatever ailment brings us to get help and this often means having to hide our LGBT status. Bringing it out can get us ignored, mistreated, fired, etc.
to the B AND T people only -WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT, YOU ARE PART OF THE ABSOLUTE MOST PRIVALEGED POWERFUL GROUP IN THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PRISON FOR SPEAKING ABOUT YOU , NOT EVEN AGAINST YOU, you are disgusting spoilt brats. Lesbians and Gays are right to distance themselves from you !!!
I am not one to judge and never will. We are all humans and have feelings and rights to those feelings. I dont care what anyone is or isnt. I treat people with respect period. Our society needs to just focus on their lives and helping others and not so much hatred. Not everyone is using the same Bible either. I use King James version but Im not going to judge people as it is not my place. I love visiting with people of all walks of life.
I am not insensitive towards this issues. I do apologize for being crass. However, as a person of Color (I despise the term), I don't expect any different medical treatment or request for an Hispanic doctor. I don't expect to be treated any differently. All patients, of whatever stripes, should be treated with respect and compassion. Your identity should not used for preferential treatment. Many blessings to this community, and I hope all of you flourish and find happiness in this life.
I don't think anyone is asking for preferential treatment. They are asking to be treated with compassion and for their life experiences to be validated and respected by their providers.
@@albertogutierrez8653 , we’re going to have to agree to disagree then. I believe respect is something to extend to all human beings as a recognition of their human dignity. Admiration can be earned, but I respect everyone.
It can be a challenge, for sure. Before the current time period of increased education for healthcare workers, something I and other nurses encountered was rage and vitriol from patients whom we innocently and accidentally addressed as the non-preferred Mr. or Ms. The good news is, this has not happened to me in the past few years when I make this mortifying mistake (and apologize!) I hope there is more compassion now on “both” sides.
I don’t really see why sexual orientation has anything to do with healthcare. When you take your car in the mechanic, he doesn’t question your driving habits and it’s none of his business. Just diagnose the symptoms, give an estimate and either I can afford it or not. It’s as simple as that.
That would be nice if people weren't being treated poorly for their sexual orientation. Also, it can definitely be medically relevant. So if you choose to ignore the aspects you don't agree with, there are still other reasons to know and be respectful of this information
This is good. I can't find out much out there. I'm part of the LGBTQ and I'm studying to be a provider. 💕 if you are reading this, you, LGBTQ, you are wonderful!
In healthcare, none of this matters to me. I treat everyone with care and compassion and the levels do not increase or decrease due to knowledge of gender, race or sexual orientation. I’m here to do a job, not to provide emotional support bc isn’t that what a therapist does? Shouldn’t this be geared towards them instead of ALL healthcare workers? Where’s the training on caring for ALL patients we come in contact with, with dignity and respect? If anything, discussing any of this makes you MORE of a target. It’s toxic how so much of this is MANDATED or else you’ll lose your job. It should be optional to the healthcare employee.
Sexual orientation is IRRELEVANT when diagnosing illness. What matters is your BEHAVIOR and LIFESTYLE. Doesn't matter what you "identify" as. You're a HUMAN. You are NOT a separate species. And to the doctors, having an attraction towards the same sex does NOT mean you automatically have certain diseases.
The doctor's office called/addressed him by the name on his insurance card and he was offended? Silliness. Shoulda gotten the card changed if it was that important. That's like if I go to my doctor and they call me Katrina when I prefer to be called Peaches, or something. Am I gonna get pissed about that? Do I require that they call me by my nickname? People are looking for reasons to be offended.
With a transgender in progress, you dont really have a fixed time to change your (given)name and gender... so listening to wishes and just writing a note, can be of help!
So you don’t care if people are called by their names or not? Then why write this post? You seem pretty “offended” almost like you understand why someone would want to be called by the name they identity with. You’re so close to the point.

That really irks me cause she literally contradicts herself and is also part of the problem.
I caught that too. Like come on people this isn’t rocket science
I can assure you there are more than 8.8 million LGBT Americans.
Very helpful video, but could be improved by removing / turning down the music.
I would like to use this video as part of my presentation. Would I need to get permission; if so who would I contact?

It's important to know because of the health risk factors and the ability to establish a genuine therapeutic relationship.

How about as a human being.... ?
5:00 Cruel!!! In the Netherlands, forms often have "parent 1" and "parent 2" on them!
The woman should probably be using she/they pronouns for the person that identifies as Emily. (Adam)
Is there a copyright on this material?

Insightful!
Humanity and Gender respect is more important for us to live a healthy life. WOnderful video. Amazing job.

Great video. Well done illustrating the power of stories and the first person narratives.
John Knudsen Stories are subjective feelings not objective facts. I don't deal in people's delusions.
Amazing Video. All HCPs should watch this video.

@@santolina8 It is called civility. However, I don't respect people off the cuff. Respect is earned.

Would you want anything less for yourself or your loved ones?

Its something II think everyone should see this
Well……first you have to know what you are so we can get to know who you are and treat you safely and properly.

Actually it isn't. It can be a massive indicator of different risk factors
Well done!
Thanks for this video.

Just be honest with your doctor, then he can do his job.
How insensitive and narrow minded Howard Cole is. I wouldn't want him as my provider.
Constance L. Jackson Science and facts are stubborn things.
Who cares Who you are is irrelevant
I identify as a huwhite man
This is a joke LOL
I know who you are. A human being lol..
Homosexuality is not norm in human society.
I believe this came from that we, as human beings forgot the word called:
1) "Friend"
2) "Friendship".
3) "buddy"
Any way, we must treat them with respect as same as everybody else is respected.
May God bless them.
good job! your cultural competency and comprehension skills are outstanding!!
werdios!!!!!!!!!!!!
