My Philosophy of Care
I believe everyone deserves the right to competent compassionate care. I believe no one 'owes' health to anyone. I aim to practice in a liberatory, intersectional framework that incorporates community care and understands the societal forces of oppression that affect the health of the individual, community and world. As a small/median fat queer, currently able bodied educated white woman I aim to examine and problematize my privilege and how it relates to my practice of medicine. I believe that TRUE bodily autonomy is a core tenant of medicine and continuous consent is necessary for all health encounters.
About Me & My Practice
I practice 'sperm to worm' family medicine in a mutual aid/liberatory direct primary care model. After working in the medicoindustrial model for decades, I left to save myself from continuing moral injury and opened my own practice.
I have been practicing in a haes model since medical school but under the constraints of these larger oppressive systems
I dislike writing about myself, but quite enjoy being a loud, cranky, fat queer who doesn't have the energy to gaf about respectability politics anymore.
I put off doing this application for months because of the minimum character requirements
Accessibility Considerations
My current office has a portable ramp- moving over summer and new office will have permanent ramp to front door. Waiting room seating is up to 550# and exam table up to 550. In new office will also have one to 750#
Cloth exam gowns up to 6x and BP cuffs that fit most - I have the larger conical cuffs which I am enamored with!
My scale can go to 850# but it is located in the back next to the garbage as I only weigh patients under duress ;)
