 @kims > “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive. holy shit what. this is the therapy they use as a last resort for brain tumors — that kid was seizing because their tumor was killing them someone please tell me that former executive followed their little anecdote up with “The Aristocrats! haha just kidding imagine being this much of a fucking monster” 2 comments
@kims no I’m still fucking mad about this, a child’s brain tumor is so bad the only medically viable option is to put them in a fucking particle accelerator and the insurance executive’s stupid ass decides that no, their oncologist is wrong and brain tumors are no big deal and they can just live with extraordinarily painful seizures??? while getting the name of the fucking treatment wrong???? and they did it multiple fucking times and then bragged about it????? |

@kims for anyone who wants to learn more about how serious this type of therapy is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_therapy (and yeah, it’s more properly called something along the lines of proton beam therapy rather than proton laser therapy, but something tells me this fucking monster of a former executive might not have any real medical training)
