Episode 179: Nazi Hunters, Furry Edition
Excited to listen to this. This is a borderline self-doxx so I’ll probably delete, but BJC/WashU is both my provider and the employer/educator of 80% of the people I know. It’s the most shameless display of champagne socialism and elite issue silos, both relating to this and generally.
In the past three-four years, the WUMC curriculum was completely overhauled to center health equity & justice. STL is 50% Black and I know of zero WUMC students who are African-American from Missouri or otherwise - all Black students I know are first/second generation kids with doctor parents of African descent.
Students are obviously from upper middle class through upper class backgrounds, I know of four-five genuinely middle class students. It amuses me so deeply to see their discourse regarding opioids and the discussion around the gender clinic when no one, no one here has meaningfully interacted with what homelessness and addiction look like in STL.
When we’ve discussed the gender clinic, they’ve often fallen back on privacy arguments - that Jamie Reed, even if correct in her perceptions, failed to protect patient privacy. But they also acknowledge that she effectively had no protected reporting mechanism as a staff member who was both client-facing and administrative.
I think I’ve heard enough about furries to last me a lifetime now. Can we have a long break until the next one?
