Twitter. I& #39;m struggling yet very curious. For those of us who are disabled. Those of us who have experienced medical trauma. Those of us who have had EMGs. I& #39;m going to ask a couple of polls. #DisabilityTwitter, will you RT me? Share encouraging words or your truth. Here we go 1/
TW: Medical Trauma
First off, when did you learn the definition of medical trauma?
@RealCedricDark @DrSanchezGlz @sachamcbainphd @jociscott15 @TedBonar @Dr_RileyL, feel free to provide your input and follow this poll. I wish I could have made your panel this month. 2/

Have you ever experienced medical trauma?
For all who say yes, I am sorry to hear about your experience. Yet, thank you for your response and helping me feel less alone in this painful moment. 3/

If you have had an EMG, would you describe the experience as traumatic? 4/
If you were told in the beginning that you could have withdrawn your consent if the EMG became too painful, would you have said no or stop during the procedure?
I know that learning I could have said no from my pain psychologist was this painful moment of awareness 5/

If you were/are a student in higher education, did you have support from your college as you recovered from your medical trauma?
I know my answer and it just makes it harder to have to advocate for medical trauma awareness/support on campus. It hurts to know it isn& #39;t here. 6/

I have a few questions for you, #MedTwitter.
In medical school, do you learn about medical trauma or medical PTSD?

If you are in neurology and have performed EMGs, have you had an EMG yourself?
I think that cops during their training with a taser are tased, I wonder if a similar thing happens in neurology... 8/

Have you ever handed out a patient information brochure on medical trauma to a patient before an EMG or upon diagnosis with a chronic disability? 9/
For anyone who has ever been to a doctor, have you ever seen a patient education brochure on medical trauma? 10/
For all of your who have engaged with my poll, thank you! Please RT and encourage others to reply. I feel like medical trauma is not spoken about enough. The silence gives medical trauma a power that it doesn& #39;t deserve.
Please continue to break the silence with me 11/
