Has this been shared? These pieces always reveal so much.

Reads to me the phone wasn't in surgery, it was left with some administration or perhaps nursing staff in another area, who had the conversation about his medical records and gossipped a bit about the trans phenomenon and were rightly trying to work out how to avoid treating a patient incorrectly by thinking they were female.

It's not just weight, it's hormones. Amng other things, women respond differently to the hypnotics & are more likely to regain a level of consciousness during surgery (the drugs that immobilise you are not the same ones that make you sleepy).
On the upside, we're faster to come round in Recovery.
Now if miladdo there had been castrated, he might be closer to a female response because the effect disparity seems to rely on testosterone but we don't know enough to know if circulating T on the day of surgery is the kicker or whether it's circulating T+androgenised body, or androgenised body alone/ mainly.

Just think of the research opportunities missed by anaesthetists in gender surgeries all because they've been indoctrinated that TWAW & TMAM.

Edited for dyslexia, some may remain

Plus muscle : fat ratio is going to be different - would that affect drug metabolism?

A lot of drugs are processed at different rates by male and female livers, and filtered at different rates by male and female kidneys. I can't remember if anaesthetics are among the ones affected, but I'd be a little surprised if they aren't.

@ProfessorBinturong True, oestrogen, insulin, liver & pancreas, that Spaghetti Junction of "it's different for girls". From appropriately hazy recollection, most anaesthetics are mostly metabolised by the liver - the words "P-450 cytochromes" spring to mind but I've forgotten what they mean & the dog is insistent that her bedtime walk is overdue so no time to find out!

I think the saddest part of this story is the part when he writes about how confused the hospital staff were when they saw the M in his notes ”I look the way I look, and sound the way I sound” but , according to Jennifer, the medical staff were perplexed by the ‘dissonance’ between what they saw and heard and the M in his records.

Oh dear. How confused and delusional can you get. They knew, even those of us with no medical training know. The M was no surprise at all.

It really seems to be.

The staff were spot on in that he needs to have his sex clearly marked male. And then the record needs to list all the medical treatment he has had.

What surprises me is that someone would undertake purely elective surgery of the duration of having the face peeled back, bone layers removed and artificial shapers inserted while recovering still from other major medical treatments. Just the anaesthesia is an added risk. But this man does seem to be keen on controlling how other’s perceive him and their reaction to him.

Firstly, medical staff discussing whether a patient is male or female is highly relevant to the care they receive. So medical staff discussing sex category of a patient doesn’t breach patient privacy.

And this man is the person who has exposed his medical records to the public. Did you not read the article? Or did you just want to denigrate women again and took this thread as yet another opportunity ?

youre going to have to explain in what way hipaa was breached or the Joan rivers story is relevant. The staff were not taking selfies and the staff were not discussing his appearance beyond the immediately relevant aspect of how they clearly denoted sex, and that is important to be correct on that in the records. There is no indication whatsoever the staff have released his medical data into the public domain. You appear to have been imagining quite a lot.

🤣

Quick look a squirrel.

“I'm sure though that no one here would be bothered if their medical information was advertised outside of the theatre.”

If a patient in a hospital is bothered that other medical staff who have a direct duty of care for that patient outside of theatre know that patient’s sex category, I think they need some mental health support.

No! I am not bothered that medical staff outside of an operating theatre staff understand that I am female. It is the foundation for them providing me with the accurate medical diagnosis and care I need.

But please do continue to try and make the point that a group of people should be allowed to receive substandard care because they wish their medical records to contain false information. Not only substandard care, but then increasing risk of negative outcomes for staff involved and potentially wasting medical resources . I am interested to know why this should be allowed to happen? Please explain more.

The only reason anyone would have been surprised to see he’s registered as Male on his medical records is because they would be wondering why he hasn’t made enough of a song and dance to get them changed to Female.

He completely wasted money on “feminisation surgeries” and what was the point anyway when he still has a cock and balls?! I wonder why he didn’t use the money to get rid of them first as surely if you are feeling dhysphoria thinking you should be the opposite sex then it must be logical to assume you would want the most male part of your anatomy removed?!

Why would anyone go to the trouble of stalking a medical team doing surgery like this, except through anxiety or desire for gain, that they will be caught saying things that that person thinks they shouldn't? In this case, state truths and realities that the person does not want to permit to be spoken?

It is fantastically controlling.

Unless of course his reason for transition is NOT dysphoria.

Now. Let's consider how many other patients have been harmed by the actions of this twat being a control freak about pronouns in a medical setting where his sex is relevant.

There's all the resources directed at resolving this. That's clinical staff away from patients. That's money spent. Even if it's the US and he's paid for the surgery he's still putting up premiums for others.

He wants to wreck careers and destroy lives.

Indeed. He looks and sounds exactly like the man he is, I think the so-called facial feminisation surgery was a complete waste of money. IMO, he bears a resemblance to the actor Jim Parsons (who played Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory).

To the secondary school "mean girls group" posting here, in the U.S. there's this little thing called HIPPA...

Hmm. Perhaps you could furnish us with a link to the information you would like to use as your support? That's simply a page with numerous links, what is it you wished to draw our attention to?

Is it a breach of HIPPA for surgeons to discuss the fact that a male patient has male genitals, whilst trying to pass himself off as female, for example?

Exactly - what sort of hospital is this? I’d be surprised if any possessions were taken into theatre. The device must have been hidden on his person - did he tape it to his body because surgical gowns dont have pockets

I watched a bit of that video yesterday. He seems to focus on the fact they commented on him having male genitalia - he has a husband so likely a gay man (would it be a stretch to suggest that keeping those bits are a choice relating to his sexuality?). Either way it seems that he can’t cope with the reality of being male.

Does anyone remember years ago, early 80s? A man had a sex change, he wrote a book about it. I think his new name was Julia. The book told of his struggles etc, how he was much happier as a woman. As far as I remember, sometime after his gender reassignment op he started bleeding "down below" He was taken to hospital where the medics, not realising he wasnt a biological woman, assumed a miscarriage and attempted to carry a procedure. This caused more damage to the reassignment surgery and Im not sure they were able to correct it. A very sad story and I would think a lesson to learn that knowing someone's biological sex is kind of important!!

Sounds like it was shoved somewhere in the room or trolley but honestly makes no sense to me

There was a well reported case a few years ago of a 'man' attending at a hospital in the USA with abdominal pains. In reality the 'man' was a woman in labour. The baby was stillborn as the cord had dropped into the vagina. The records recorded her as male. There was nowhere available on the personal details to state that she was biologically female. We have got ourselves into a truly crazy situation where biology is overridden to appease feelings.

could the bag have been in recovery near a bay being prepped for the patient’s return? Meaning it could have been other staff including nurses etc.

They still need to know what sex the patient is and were discussing it.
