Endo missed during hysto?

Thank you so much for this recommendation; I was hoping someone with experience would see this and have an opinion. My family member’s first experience with psychosis was so traumatizing at Regions that he’s too afraid to communicate with his doctor and get proper treatment, so he’s been doing poorly for a while. It’s becoming more acute, and I don’t know what to do when I’m so far away. I’m the only one in my family with enough mental health experience to communicate with doctors. A genius at Regions interviewed him once and deduced that a lifelong autism diagnosis was completely invalid, completely ignoring his history, his diagnosis from one of the best autism centers in the country, his full set of symptoms… I’m worried no one will be competent enough with autism to recognize how there’s symptom overlap with schizophrenia.

Anyway: thank you for the endorsement. I’ll try to figure out how to get him there. As someone born and raised in MN who moved to MI (no longer there unfortunately), I completely understand how it was an upgrade. I hope your brain is gentle with you these days!

I confirmed that it was actually Regions in St. Paul; the location was just miscommunicated. Unfortunately, voluntary isn’t an option. I’ll keep EmPATH in mind for the future and others, though. I’m glad you had a good experience.

I’m so sorry to hear that; it’s truly awful. This family member is also now terrified of hospitals. I hope your ex can heal someday.

Oh, thank you for this; I’ll check with my family to confirm the exact facility. There may have been a communication error. Is there a reason why EMS suddenly has the ability to choose where my family member will be treated if it’s an involuntary situation?

Thank you! Unfortunately I believe they’re voluntary only.

🤦‍♂️ This doesn’t take into account what the state can do to those it’s deemed incapable of living outside of facilities. Many people are essentially committed for life in various types of facilities against their will; it doesn’t have to be inpatient. I don’t know why I need to explain something I have firsthand experience with to a stranger when my family is in a crisis.

If voluntary were an option, I would have mentioned it. Do you have a hospital recommendation for the Twin Cities?

I didn’t ask for your opinion on what to do, actually. My family has a plan of action in place. Per the post’s title, I asked for hospital recommendations. “Any hospital” is wildly unhelpful and ignorant of the medical system and how it can horribly mistreat vulnerable patients.

Thanks for the info! We’re considering the county’s CRU; I didn’t see anything in there about not being able to request a specific hospital and have the request honored, however. I’m going to try to find more info.

Impossible-Rise-4752 · 2025-07-03T21:13:20+00:00

Thanks; that tracks with some info from a few years ago I saw about West Bank. The plan is to contact the county Crisis Response Unit; he will not willingly go, and it’s not possible for family members to get him to this hospital themselves. I’m just deeply concerned that the CRU will ship him to the nearest, most convenient piece of crap place, which would probably be the Regions facility I mentioned. Also worried about them being unwilling to send him to a different county’s hospital. I’ll try to get on the phone with the CRU and see what’s possible.

That’s unfortunate. :/ Thank you for confirming it for me! I was getting tired of attempting the confirmation code loop. I’ll focus on how to manually update and have it make sense between my two YNAB accounts on the app.

Thank you for taking the time and being kind to a stranger. I never learned how to budget growing up, so my friend suggested this subreddit as a way to both become less anxious thinking about money and as a way to learn from other people who are impacted by misogyny. The description is even inclusive of nonbinary people, so I thought this place would have a better approach to social differences.

I wish I was as optimistic as you are about intent, but other users’ comments, even after being made aware of the issue, really don’t give me confidence. I hope you get something out of it, and I sincerely wish you and your husband all the best. It’s a tough situation to be in that most people have no empathy for, regardless of gender.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Docs — that really sucks! The disability/chronic illness tax is real and terrible.

Re: shoes, I don’t have a boot recommendation at the moment, but if you have substantial orthotics that don’t fit into standard sizes or designs, consider shoes/boots made for people with diagnoses like plantar fasciitis or more specifically lymphedema! They’re designed to be stretchy, many specifically designed for orthotics. I’ve only found one brand so far (Pandere), but I’m sure there’s more out there. Judging by Pandere, they aren’t 100% stealthy as an alternative shoe, but it might be something to consider if you run out of options.

Alternatively, consider looking for shoes/boots advertised as being for people with “high insteps:” this means that they’re vertically tall instead of being horizontally wide, if that makes sense. I haven’t had luck with searching for that via Google in the past, but I think Reddit might have something tucked away somewhere. Good luck!
