Just when you thought that the timeline could not sink to new lows, something of *that* nature crosses the feed. 8ut it is alright. Fret not, my dears, for this sordid little num8er will not 8e ruining my shift this fine evening! I shall not 8e swayed 8y a mere piece of fiction written 8y a troll who has never seen a proper cullward. My dignity remains intact, despite this attempt upon it. As any good nursemaid would tell you, patient incontinence is the least of our worries when working with those who are sla8ridden. Often times, it is of much more concern to ensure that the troll in question does not develop sla8sores, or worse, develop an infection of their 8reathsacks due to inactivity, as can happen in cases such as was descri8ed on this truly sleazy post. Hair and horn care are often left to the wayside in lesser 8eforan wards than that which I oper8 within, and I can assure you that all patients have their toileting needs taken care of with all grace and dignity held at the forefront of everyone's minds. What I find to 8e most uncomforta8le here is the dual fetishiz8tion of the profession of nurse as well as the nature of a sla88ound cullee as a means to explore erotic power dynamics. In truth, there is quite a 8it of harassment that we medicullers experience at the hands of our patients! This is often overlooked due to the discrepancy of our 8lood colors, 8ut many cullees see cool 8looded professionals as a means to deflect the Imperial Mand8 of Culling from their situ8tion, a sort of seeking of special privilege 8eyond what others might experience or expect. As someone who has experienced this sort of harassment 8efore, I decry this piece of fiction as little more than smutty imaginings of a non-8eforan troll trying to capitalize on the weakness of a gr8 author in her st8 of illness. For shame!!!!!!!! #lighttriadempathy #8eforusculling #fetishization #tw:powerdynamics
