Hiya daisygrrl-
Glad you joined in humanitarian!!!

I think in order to create what you are asking may involve creating an equal empathy playing field for all patients and all medical diagnosises. Medical discourse can almost be like an "ism". Doctors/medical providers/health insurance workers/people in general, and their personal ideologies/prejudices get in the way and create an oppressive structure stemming from unconscious behavior or not unconscious behavior coming from my own personal experince. I agree with you...I wish all peoples personal medical needs would be recognized and not structurally marginalized/minimized.
