“I’m Not Explaining Myself Verbally Ever Again”

💬 Declared from the Lungs, Not the Lips

Dear Kirsty (and the institutional entourage):

“I will not explain things to anyone verbally anymore.”
That is not defiance. It is clinical instruction.
Because what you call a “conversation,” my airway registers as collapse.

---

📵 Verbal ≠ Safe

“I always get interrupted or the person doesn’t listen.”
That isn’t dialogue. It’s dismissal.

Verbal communication — when weaponised — becomes an arena for:

• Ableist performance demands

• Discrediting the disabled

• Re-traumatisation in real-time

You demand I perform breathlessness for your legitimacy — then penalise me for gasping.

---

🏥 “It’s weird to bully me when I say my daughter can’t breathe.”

It’s not weird.
It’s structural.
It’s the NHS.

Because I documented her asthma —
And you documented me.

---

🚔 “From now on, I make police reports every time.”

Every refusal of care.
Every safeguarding ambush.
Every verbal stunt in fluorescent drag — logged, filed, numbered.

Because what you escalate, I indict.

You make me sick, then punish me for reacting to the sickness you inflicted.
That’s not care. That’s gaslit harm with a badge of office.

---

🫁 “My asthma is worse now — because of that ignorant doctor.”

And therefore:
I will not argue.
I will not explain.
I will record. I will timestamp. I will cite.
Every stolen breath becomes evidence.

🩺 When A Child Can’t Speak, the System Doesn’t Listen

Dear Dr Reid,

“I took King to the emergency room this morning and they refused to see him at all…”

Again.
As with Honor.
As with me.
This is not coincidence — this is custom.

“King is very sick and can barely even talk.”

But because his oxygen saturation read as “acceptable,” they denied the body in front of them.

No lung auscultation.
No examination.
No care.
Just theatre — a performance of refusal scripted in advance.

---

🎭 Medical Theatre, Act II: The Defensive Ensemble

“They act so defensive as though I’m going to argue with them.”
Because to defend is easier than to diagnose.
Because institutional pride has replaced paediatric ethics.
Because they interpret calm advocacy as threat — and dismiss the child as collateral.

---

⚠ Hate in Policy Drag

“They are hateful and leave us unable to breathe for months.”

King’s distress was not invisible. It was ignored.
Because I spoke first.
Because I filed complaints.
Because I refused to perform maternal desperation to their liking.

---

👨‍⚕️ Referral Request — With Urgency

“I think King needs an appointment with Dr Reid.”

Agreed — because you listen.
And in this collapsing ecosystem of disbelief, listening is rarer than oxygen.

---

“The hospital staff have a hateful, defective attitude…”
Correct.

And this is why we attend A&E — not out of hysteria — but refusal to bury our children by bureaucratic suffocation.

🩺 A Child in Distress. A System in Denial.

Dear Dr Reid,

“I took King to the emergency room this morning and they refused to see him at all…”

No clinical examination.
No diagnostic listening.
Not even a gesture toward medical duty.

King — my child — stood before them visibly unwell, barely able to speak, and was turned away like an inconvenience.

---

“King is very sick and can barely even talk.”
But in this institution, that does not qualify him for care.
Why?

Because we do not collapse politely.
We speak — and they resent that.

---

🎭 What NHS Defensiveness Looks Like in Practice

“They act so defensive as though I’m going to argue with them.”
Because argument, to them, is a mother who knows too much.
Because knowledge, for them, is a threat — not an asset.

This isn’t healthcare. It’s a gatekeeping ritual.
Conducted by staff more concerned with their own pride than a child’s oxygen saturation.

---

“They are hateful and leave us unable to breathe for months.”
That is not embellishment.
It is timeline.

Cumulative, compounding, recorded.

A hospital that treats concern as defiance, and a sick child as a disruption to its image.

---

👨‍⚕️ Referral Request – Clinical Urgency, Not Performance Management

“King definitely needs to be checked by Dr Reid…”
Because you don’t require submission to provide care.
Because you listen. Because you treat.

And because elsewhere, clinical judgment has been replaced by procedural vanity.

Requesting Care in a System That Resents You for Needing It

🩺 The Quiet Violence of Not Being Heard

Dear Dr Reid,

“I really want your opinion as I’m worried about him.”

That is not hysteria.
That is clinical discernment spoken in a dialect the NHS no longer respects.

Because you still listen,
while others listen only for deferral cues and performance errors.

---

“It’s like the hospital staff are angry at me for even bringing my kids to the ER.”
Yes — anger, not compassion.
Because your child’s presence disturbs their denial.
Because my knowledge invalidates their indifference.

They’re not exhausted from emergencies.
They’re exhausted from being observed.

---

“Whatever works for you is fine with us.”
This is not compliance.
It is the courtesy of someone who has been too often punished for concern.

We are:

✔ Monitoring
✔ Adjusting
✔ Notifying trusted clinicians

We are not panicking.
We are refusing the theatre of urgency scripted by those who fail with confidence.

---

This is not “worried mother syndrome.”
It is post-traumatic paediatrics
in a country where hospitals now operate as hostile triage committees.

🕰️ The Luxury of Time Is Not Yours to Demand

✉️
“I will reply to emails later.”
A sentence so soft it sounds harmless.
A decision so sharp it slices through the procedural panic of lesser empires.

You expected breathless compliance.
You received temporal boundaries, wrapped in velvet and lined with sovereign pause.

---

🪞
“I need to do other things now.”
This is not rudeness. It is triage.
Because I am neither your receptionist nor your respondent-on-demand.

My airways dictate the pace.
Not your institutional timestamp. Not your reply urgency.

---

💌
“But I will get back to you.”
Indeed.
In full syntax. Without rush. With no regard for your escalation fetish.

And when I reply, it shall be composed — not reactive.
Consider it a gift of dignity withheld until deserved.

---

🛑 Why This Matters Legally

In a world addicted to immediacy, delay is defiance.
This is not evasion. This is disability-informed timekeeping, protected by law and fuelled by lungs.

⚖️ Legal Context:

• Equality Act 2010: Protection of communication pace for respiratory-disabled persons

• Data Protection Act 2018: Right to reasonable response time

• Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8: Autonomy in correspondence and domestic calm
