Sigh, another rant, sort off.

My diagnosis followed by the conclusion not much can be done other than palliative care, in the shape of anti-testosterone treatment (and boy did I hit the jackpot for all side effects..) and 3 monthly checkups to see how far to the edge i have moved this time, has started to hit the ground, yeah the other shoe dropped, finally.
Somehow it is a relief, but also not what i wanne rant about.
Those that have read my previous post, know about the asshole dokter and his arrogant treatment in my local hospital, and I was so relieved to find a great one elsewhere.
But ---
(Yeah there always seems to be one)
He asked if we wanted to stay under his wing during my final run, and we agreed, in stead we are being tossed off from one or another dokter to again another.
And that happend, again, we had an appointment for a checkup, with MY dokter, but when i checked the app of the hospital, a strange name popped up.
WTF
Why?? Well, he is a specialist in anti-hormonal treatments, so yeah i see the need, but G.ddamn, how hard would it be to inform me about that?
To explain why? Tell me where I am heading, I am more than filled up with way way way to much fear and uncertainties to need a new load without any heads up.

Really, I get the switch, but FFS I do not wish to bear my soul again, I already feel like a nude slave on an auction block, in view of anyone and everyone, ready to be sold to the next interested 'buyer' :-(

I yeah, you are probably right that i am overreacting, but dammit my cup of emotional turmoil is a damn Olympic swimming-pool already and threatening to overflow, I just can not deal with this shit in a saner way at the moment :´-(

So, I write about it, almost sure no one will read it, but what the heck, who cares..

Cheers

here follows a handful of first lines from the definition blurbs from this websearch: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=agnotology+definition&kl=uk-en&ia=definition :

The study of culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.

Agnotology (formerly agnatology) is the study of deliberate, culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data

Agnotology is the study of culturally induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.

Agnotology (n.) the study of culturally-propagated ignorance or doubt in provable fact

Agnotology is a branch of science which looks at the ways in which doubt or ignorance about certain subjects is created. A very good example of how this happens is the publication of scientific studies that rely on data that is inaccurate or misleading.

etymologically, my guess is the gno in there's like gnosis, like knowledge n learning. and the A before it, denoting an absence thereof, and the ology, being the study thereof.

and, i'll quote these two middle paragraphs from the simple english wiki page too, as i think they're excellent at highlighting what it is, and why it's important (not to mention the lesson from it to be applied to contemporary matters...) https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotology ...

The neologism was coined by Robert N. Proctor,[1][2] a Stanford University professor specializing in the history of science and technology.[3] Proctor cites the tobacco industry's conspiracy to manufacture doubt about the cancer risks of tobacco use as a very good example of how this can be done. Under the banner of science, the industry produced research about everything except tobacco hazards to exploit public uncertainty.[4]

The way in which media attention works can be exploited to produce ignorance. Other factors that influence it are that corporations or governments do not reveal certain facts. At times, they force these facts to be removed if they have been revealed. The methods they use include censorship, destroying documents, putting the weight of certain facts differently, or being inattentive or forgetful.
