She needs to give it up. Freedom isn't ever going to happen for her

OP I see you want an ablation. I had one for a similar reason(heavy bleeding and severe cramps..turns out my uterus was diseased) but it wasn't an easy process to get it. I had to try all sorts of other methods first such as multiple types of birth control and d&c procedures first before they finally did a ablation as a last ditch attempt to avoid doing a hysterectomy on me at such a young age

All of my specialists are at beth Israel..I can confirm they're absolutely excellent. I've had more compassionate care during ER trips and hospital admissions at beth Israel than I've ever had at any NH hospital

I won't even go to Dartmouth anymore..I go to Boston

Don't most hospitals in NH choose profit over people? Portsmouth had an ER Dr who was working there who was a girlfriend beater and they only fired him after he got in legal trouble..huggins in wolfeboro has such a shit reputation that even staff members say they won't go there for care, a ER Dr at wdh completely missed an obvious brain tumor on someone and on and on

Sounds like a case of fuck around and find out

More beds is a good thing. But they'd better be prepared to pay nurses and other staff a livable wage if they want to get and retain staff

On the other hand, if the eviction laws and process were easier for landlords then maybe the elderly lady I knew from church,used to live with (I lived with her for ten months and moved because she had a ton of untreated psych issues and the stress became too much) wouldn't have ended up with a shit tenant after I left. This tenant moved in and promised to pay her back taxes and mortgage as the rent amount..he had her entire second floor(two bedrooms, a bathroom and office) to himself and basically destroyed the entire floor and took over the entire house..he physically abused her, psychologically abused her, financial abuse, emotional abuse, stole treasured possessions from her and pawned them..she called the cops and they told her it was a civil issue, I called Adult Protective services on her multiple times and she refused the help. She was afraid to kick him out because she was terrified of being homeless and giving up her elderly dog(her only living link to her deceased husband besides the house). She finally had enough and went to evict him but couldn't because she couldn't afford an attorney and she couldn't afford the court fees.

He ended up being served eviction notice by the state after she was forced into a nursing home and the bank foreclosed..but at that point he'd made the interior of her house non inhabitable. Which was a shame. It was a nice house

One more thought...this can't be the only sex book in the library and people are up in arms over this? Some parents are gonna have a RUDE awakening when their kids get to taking health class

Two choices: either teach your kids about sex yourselves or have them learn about it through a book...OR keep them in the dark and let them learn the hard way..but I don't recommend this...oh wait that's three options

They also have a sister facility in dover(cocheco valley was renamed pope memorial SPCA dover)

I no longer live with them and we are minimal contact. But there are not exactly a whole lot of living options for adults who are on the autism spectrum and don't have the life skills to live independently or on their own with roommates..so my only choice at that point was living with my parents..add in emotionally abusive and narcissistic parents who guilt trip you and emotionally abused and manipulated you at the slightest talk of even moving out and it adds a whole new layer of complications to the living situation.

I moved out about a month after that and my parents sent the fucking cops to my new address to harass me and tried to get the cops to drag me home. Living situations are complicated when dealing with abusive and toxic folks

I took new England history as one of my college classes. One of the textbooks required for class was called Black Portsmouth and it was all about African American history in Portsmouth NH..it was absolutely fascinating to read as well as a horrifying read at times as well

My roommate just said "nobody wants to risk getting assaulted, seriously injured or killed for a small amount of money"

If I had let my family decide my mental health care based on "medical necessity" then id be dead...I came from a family that had absolutely zero belief in mental health care. I had to go to therapy in secret because when I first approached my mom about seeking therapy she laughed in my face and basically told me nothing was wrong with me(despite the fact that id been battling depression and anxiety for years at that point). When I told her at that point that I was 21 and I was telling her I was going to therapy and not asking her she basically told me if I proceeded with this shed sell my car(yeah she was abusive, controlling and a narcissist).

This is also the same parent who for years refused to let me get a professional diagnosis of depression as a kid because "I was just looking for attention"(turns out depression doesn't work like that)

There are certain cases where transgender youth SHOULD be able to make these types of decisions without their parents info. It's one thing if a transgender youth has loving and supportive parents then yes that's absolutely a time the parents should be involved. But not all transgender youth have that. Kids get thrown out of the house over these types of things and LGBTQIA youth will take their own lives and attempt to take their own lives because of family discrimination and lack of family support..in those types of situations than absofuckinglutely the parents should have zero say.

You can literally Google gender dysphoria and look it up yourself. The diagnosis process consists of a behavioral health evaluation. To even qualify to START hormone replacement therapy, you need a letter of referral from a qualified licensed mental health provider. In order to get that kind of referral letter, you need to have an established relationship with a mental health provider and be able to prove you've been seeing them regularly for quite some time.

You ask for specific sources. My sources are the trans friends and classmates I have who have had gender affirming care and who have been through the process of transitioning. My friends have spoken at length about the years of therapy they've needed and the therapy they STILL currently get because with being transgender comes an alarmingly high amount of discrimination, stigmatism, depression, anxiety, self-harm, PTSD. My best friend had to see a therapist once a week for four years and THEN the therapist finally agreed to write him a referral letter to a multi-disciplinary gender clinic for hormone replacement therapy.

The first line of treatment is literally counseling and therapy...you can Google the gender clinic at Boston children's hospital and read more about what they offer if you want your own sources

Kids are usually in therapy for years. This law is stupid because it doesn't take into account that you have to be sixteen anyway in order to start hormone therapy so it's not like a "child" is being given drugs or surgery. Because by the time hormone replacement therapy is started, they are already teenagers

This doesn't seem progressive to me..

Abortion is currently legal in NH before the fetus is 24 weeks old. After 24 weeks of age, abortion is illegal with the only exception being medical emergencies and fatal fetal diagnoses. According to an nhpr article published last month.

This article will give you more info on nhs abortion laws and what's being proposed:

https://www.nhpr.org/politics/2023-02-21/how-nh-lawmakers-are-weighing-changes-to-the-states-abortion-laws-post-roe

I will say that NH is ass backwards in that they are currently considering a law that would ban gender affirming care for minors as well as ban teaching about gender identity in schools:

If you work for Action ambulance you will have longer transport times from the ossipee valley based on the call. There's some calls where the patient can't go to memorial or Huggins because it's not appropriate so you'll end up going to the seacoast and taking people to Dover,Frisbie occasionally or Portsmouth. Outside of Huggins in wolfeboro or memorial in Conway there aren't a lot of hospital choices up here. You'll also have to do both 911 transports and facility to facility transports..Action has their employees switch things up so they aren't always stuck on one truck day after day. So if OP doesn't like interfacility transports and is mainly interested in a 911 service Action may not be a good fit

I would personally avoid working for Frisbie just because I'd rather not have to deal with HCA and their corporate bullshit oversight

DHMC is good medical care for some things but not for others. I had a very frustrating experience with their GI dept..switched my GI care to Boston and have had none of the frustrations I had at dhmc

Avoid Frisbie Hospital EMS like the plague. Frisbie Hospital is owned by HCA now and you'll have to deal with all the corporate bullshit, also Frisbie is not a trauma center so all the more serious trauma cases will get shipped to Portsmouth (I live in the lakes region and yes they do trauma transfers from my town to Portsmouth)
