I was in the ER for two days this past week. Aside from their general friendliness and kindness they were incredibly respectful. I am a transgender man who goes by a name that is not my legal name as well as pronouns that are different from my biological sex, the nurses and doctors immediately used my preferred name and pronouns, without slipping up, even going so far as using the correct name and pronouns when they didn't think I could hear them. I have never felt so respected in a hospital setting and it made my painful trip 100x better! During my stay the nurses were kind and polite to me, they made me laugh when I had spend my day in pain. A huge thanks to the staff!
