I know this is a delayed response; I've been catching up on this forum at work and have been super backlogged. I am not the biggest fan of Autism Speaks as a parent of a kid with autism, only because they spend so much of the money they receive on researching things like the gene that determines autism so that they can "eradicate autism."
Autism is such a spectrum that there are people with autism who feel attacked by that; they feel as if Autism Speaks would rather them be dead than alive. While my son is high-functioning, he does have a lot of issues that are stressful for us, but he does have so many great qualities that I wouldn't trade him for the world. I also have friends who have kids who aren't as high-functioning and feel the same as I do about their child; even if it is a lot of work, they wouldn't trade having a "non-autistic" kid instead.
That money could be used to help in so many better ways, but that is my opinion. Use it to give school districts an upper hand and more resources to help kids with autism anywhere on the spectrum... Donate money to private therapy companies so kids from low-income families can get free therapy. I digress...

Having done almost no research into it, Autism Speaks always sounded like an organization in the Susan G Komen vein: "awareness" i.e. a clothing and accessories brand with a lot of lawyers.
Maybe that's how you tell if a nonprofit organization is truly being run by/for the people it says it's for. Less about "cures" and "awareness," more about helping in quantifiable, quotidian, probably not very photogenic ways.

"She even planned it for 3am, trying to hit the Er off peak."
3am is the tail end of peak time here, the worst time turn up.
24 hours is nothing. The way that HCW is carrying on: on first reading I assumed she'd been there a week.
If she can pick and choose when to come into the Emergency Room then she can visit a GP.

Really should be a penalty system for these sort of timewasters, "headache uwu" I've spent 18+ hours stuck sat in a chair in A&E before and that's with the requisite bleeding orifices, no such thing as "off peak".,

I don't think this person needs a psych hold (are they really at risk of harm to self or others? I could see her being an anxious nightmare and saying something flippant like "if you don't take my concerns seriously I may as well leave and die at home!!"), but they certainly sound like a nightmare.

This just sounds fake and dumb.
A migraineur with a four-day migraine that isn't responding to their home meds is going to have to wait a bit after triage, but they've likely been in this ED a few times before, the doc will look at their old visits, order something IM and maybe labs/fluids if the four days of vomiting seems credible.
ED staff isn't going to do anything to try to make this lady stay longer. Mask up, sure, fine, you doing OK with those ice chips? If a patient isn't reporting suicidal ideation, they're not going to claim she did. Great; now someone has to get pulled to be a sitter, and the patient can't go anywhere until there's a MH eval.
I think this was written by a chronic illness enjoyer who was perseverating on plans for her martyrdom, complete with unbelievers mocking her. The waiting until 0300, providing her own masks, and "narcotics on hold pending psych eval" sound like a patient's fantasy, not staff. The audience she's writing for is probably very sympathetic to someone not getting round-the-clock IV Dilaudid for migraine.

Agreed. They certainly sound crazy, but putting people in the psych ward over possibly nothing is stupid. Just make her wait in the ER, ffs.

I’ve been wondering: do you guys have an intermediate option between the ER/A&E and the GP in the UK? In the US we have urgent care, which is exactly that and helps divert people from the ER who have an urgent but not emergency problem.

Yes and no, mainly no is the answer. There are a very small number of minor injuries units in Scotland - they’re usually only open daytime hours and you need to go through 111 to access them. All are in hospitals as far as I know here, they’re not in A and E.
I know most other European countries have some kind of acute care that’s not emergency level. We desperately need more of it here. Provision is patchy.
We’ve ended up with a and e blocked up with people who don’t even need urgent care, they should be dealt with by a GP, but if it’s a two week wait to see one, and your kid has an ear infection and is crying in pain, or you’ve slipped and suspect your wrist is broken, you’ll end up at a and e. Like it’s the third world. The nhs is a mess

As a person with CPTSD ( heloo childhood abuse) um it might be just comorbid , you rarely get one diagnosis is often just multiple comorbid diagnosis in one giant gordian knot of hell ,and you develop extremly unhealthy ways of coping over time with one disorder, My dad had similar issue but he ended up abusive narcissist , i on the other hand developed anxiety and avoindance issues, i dont think you can properly treat your issues unless you accept A) shit is fucked B) what exactly is fucked they ofthen they couch it in not exactly your fault talk buut it will be your fault if you keep that way. Generaly they make it is like your choise but make sure you get the future is more fucked without therapy and meds choise.

Sorry to hear that, and that was one thing I said in the post - it’s a real diagnosis and something like being an abused spouse or child (especially child, as they don’t have the tools to understand or deal with it) that would get you that diagnosis.
Yes I agree with what you’re saying - it’s rarely one concrete diagnosis for something so complex and long standing and there’s not an issue with placeholder doagnoses as long as the intent is to tease out what’s really wrong. Sometimes you just need a code for the form. I know psychiatrists who are very loathe to label with schizophrenia or bpd and put other things first.
Most munchies or troons don’t have that though. You look at Rhys McKinnon who claims he has cptsd and he’s had a fairly normal middle class upbringing - his rationale is that nasty words in the internet made him sad. In reality, I suspect his therapist has slapped that label on him to keep him in treatment. Ideally you’d then work to fix the issue as you seem to be doing, but that requires insight. You clearly have that but this entire site is looking at people who don’t. Rhys is happy with the diagnosis because it’s a get out for him. You use it for understanding and healing, not the same thing
It does suck for people with a genuinely traumatic past to be labelled with such things in the same box as the munchies etc. hope you are getting the support you need to move on with life so you can be happy and fulfilled
There are real ehlers danlos sufferers, real need for a lot of things munchies claim.

LMAO that's right as the bars all close, and the drunks get dropped off the ER by "friends"

FYI, I think you're thinking of translational or clinical research, not basic. In research, "basic" has a specific meaning. There's a good explanation here.

Thanks for humoring me. I find the NHS very interesting. I don't recall ERs in the US being that bad as a kid, but the phenomenon you describe was definitely present. There was a need for treatment beyond what you can do at home, but not requiring a full hospital ER.
I know the NHS is beyond stressed, but it seems like more Urgent Cares would be a great place to start taking the pressure off the A&E and GPs. I guess when you have zero money to spend, even cheap improvements aren't possible.

In addition to what Otterly said above, we have a phone service called 111 for when you're not really sure what you should be doing. Depending on the complaint you have and the answers you give to their questions, they can get you a GP appointment super fast, or even send an ambulance.
In some hospitals we also have something called "Same day emergency care" for where its urgent but not A&E urgent. I'm not sure if you can just walk in though, I only know it exists cos my GP, who I saw within 4 hours of calling 111, sent me. Same day was a lie in my case cos I was stuck there 3 nights - though was receiving care within 10 mins of arriving, i wasn't waiting that long, just more unwell than any of us realised at the start.
We used to have walk-in centres, but all the ones I know of have closed.
If you call 999 now, they try their best to avoid sending an ambulance. I've only ever called once cos there was someone collapsed on the pavement, I couldn't wake her and she didn't look like they were breathing, even when I put my ear as close as I felt comfortable to my mouth it didn't seem like she was. The operators then got me to put my ear right to her mouth and she woke up, but I'd been explaining for at least a minute that I didn't think she was breathing before then, that her chest wasn't moving, I couldn't wake her, etc. She was out of her gourd and claimed to be fine so I left her to it, but I was really shocked. Like if she'd actually not being breathing, the time they spent arsing around would be more time her brain was starved of oxygen.
Don't bother with 999 unless you've just witnessed a major car accident or something, 111 is pretty good and can save the hassle of going to the doctor unless you actually need to.
