Star Trek Bones - Tumblr Posts

rating my past doctors on a scale of how much Leonard “Bones” McCoy would want to fight them

For context i have had chronic fatigue syndrome that went undiagnosed for 5 years, its very tied to my anxiety and depression. Also undiagnosed autism my whole life until recently lmao

The One With The Glasses

- -2/10 

- actually started treating me for the cfs even though i was yet to have a formal dx at the time

- offered to help get me out of P.E. class 

- gave me a list of what medicine to take, how much, and in what order

- i feel like they could actually enjoy a nice pot of tea together 

The One With The Bob Cut

- 6/10

- she is getting decked 

- refused to do anything about the depression until i did daily walks, which i was already doing

- told me to walk more even though i literally can not because of my (unfound at the time) cfs

- insisted my severe depression would go away if i walked enough

- brushed off my chronic illness symptoms that ive had for 5 years

- “her pronouns are they/them”

The Other Bob Cut Lady (one who gave me my autism dx)

- 7/10

- she’d really grind his gears tbh

- acted like me being autistic was something to be “overcame” instead of embraced 

- generally talked about it as though it was a bad thing, which it isnt

- “doesnt believe” in meltdowns???

- told me and my mother who both have celiac disease that 20 minutes is not enough time for a reaction to eating gluten despite it being how long it takes for my body to react to gluten

- if she thought she knew enough about celiac disease to tell us that she should know that every celiac reacts to gluten differently

- literally just insisted that it would take me longer to react to gluten even though it just doesnt???

- condescending 

- yet again brushed off my chronic illness symptoms as “normal”

- “her pronouns are they/them”

- listed “possible gender dysphoria” on my diagnosis papers when i told her directly that i had gender dysphoria, am using he/they pronouns, and have an actual gender dysphoria diagnosis 

The Blonde One

- 8/10

- hed somehow get her fired i think

- acted surprised when i told her i have friends 

- got sent in for severe depression and anxiety 

- acted surprised when i exhibited symptoms of severe depression and anxiety 

- told me that my executive dysfunction (which is a common trait in all my conditions and autism as well, to the point where its sometimes considered an autistic trait) was just me being ‘lazy’ even though i had all my dx at this point

- acted completely indifferent and condescending when this made me cry

- didnt care or do anything when i told her i felt like i had nothing to live for 

- claimed to have never have done any of these things after i complained

- brushed off my cfs symptoms completely 

- tried to start diagnosing me with autism despite her knowing i already was diagnosed with autism

- then proceeded to be all like ‘i think you may be autistic’ ????after we already told her i am???

- did not listen to me or my family at all 

- suggested mindfullness breathing after we told her we had tried everything

- hEr pRonOUnS aRE thEy/tHeM

The Angel Sent From Heaven 

- 0/10

- she found out what was wrong with me in 15 minutes

- gave me and answer ive been looking for for 5 years

- actually listened to my chronic illness symptoms and didnt act like they were ‘just normal’

- she was the one who recommended i get tested for autism, which gave me another answer i had been searching for my entire life

- actually used my pronouns

- didnt act like autism was a tragedy 

- was an actually nice doctor who i could talk to without being gaslit and talked down too

Their a reason why I rarely draw men, ( Horrible at it and McCoy is very hard to draw... Along with Data to for that matter, lol. ) But it is my favorite actor's birthday, so I had to draw something.

A very old McCoy edit I did,

( Still one of my favorite though )

You can definitely see the improvement from my previous edits but I still love this one... Plus I had a feeling people on Tumblr would appreciate this edit so I'm bringing it over on this page. Seriously the urge to edit this man is actually insane-
