Stressed Out.

Thinking of you! And here for you.

Thanks

I think I need to make a formal complaint about my treatment there.

The first question of the paperwork asks "By what name do I want to be addressed?"

I wrote Zarth, Destroyer of Planets.

They used my birth name instead when they called for me..     I feel so disrespected.   

On the positive side, the scan was quick and the staff were very switched on - I had explained about my autism and the strange things I might do when they stick needles into me - and to just carry on doing what they had to unless I actually told them to stop.

I had blood tests done at the same time so lots of dressings to peel off - maybe next month - when I'm feeling brave.  

Now I just have to worry about the results.

What's the point of asking people their preferred name to only use your given name! I would seriously complain, although perhaps offer them a shorter version first, then complain. Glad the staff were otherwise acceptable. Remember that you are strong, you've basically lived your life on an alien planet where the majority of inhabitants make no sense. You have navigated through as though completing some epic treacherous journey, and you have succeeded. You can battle anything, with just strength of will alone. We will be with you!

Could be interesting, though possibly not recommended. You could give a whole new meaning to painting the town red.
