๐ A Catalogue of Social Work Illiteracy: My Medical History Rendered Invisible
๐ฏ Opening Salvo: A Letter for the Woefully Undereducated
Dearest Ms. House,
It is with considerable reluctance (and a faint smile of pity) that I pen this clarification.
Your latest PLO correspondence — absurdly suggesting "exaggeration" — was such a magnificent display of misunderstanding that it demands archiving.
๐ A Gentle Reminder of My Medical Superiority
๐ฉบ Infant Health Records
Iowa Medical Report (1981): Six emergency admissions and three hospitalisations before the age of 18 months.
Asthma, diagnosed, treated, and apparently still invisible to modern social workers.
๐ฅ Formal Respiratory Diagnosis
Royal Brompton Hospital (2015): Diagnosed with eosinophilic asthma following rigorous evaluation.
A diagnosis one does not "exaggerate" unless Brompton themselves have joined the pantomime.
๐ Recent Confirmations
Jose Record (2024): Childhood-onset eosinophilic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, mild osteopenia — treated, managed, documented.
Ignored by you with a zeal worthy of a court jester.
๐งช Environmental Health Catastrophe
Sewage Gas Exposure (2023): Inhalation of toxic fumes resulting in serious exacerbation.
Still not sufficient to move your departments' glaciers of comprehension.
๐ง Psychological Fallout: Courtesy of Your Colleagues
๐ญ Muscle Tension Dysphonia
Caused directly by being forced to speak during respiratory crises.
Diagnosed after sewage exposure and worsened by forced communication with social services.
๐งฉ Psychiatric Assessment by Dr. Rafiq
Diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder and Adjustment Disorder.
Direct causation traced to social worker harassment and forced speech demands.
๐ Selective Ignorance: A Social Work Tradition
Despite exhaustive documentation, your department clings to selective readings, misinterpretations, and spectacular omissions.
A tradition so proudly upheld, it now deserves UNESCO recognition.
๐ถ Bonus: Prince’s Asthma Legacy
Diagnosed May 9, 2012, Miami Children's Hospital.
Nebuliser treatments administered as needed, despite your institution’s spectacular lack of curiosity.
๐️ Reasonable Demands (That Should Not Need Explaining)
Henceforth, all communication must be written.
This is not a "request" borne of whimsy, but a medical necessity born of your past neglect.
Access to all referenced medical records is available via my Google Drive, should your department muster the energy to peruse them.
๐ Closing Remarks
I await confirmation of your compliance with these modest, medically supported adjustments.
Do take your time. After all, greatness is rarely rushed.
Yours,
Polly Chromatic
