Fear and Discrimination: Medical Professionals and Transgender Patient Complications
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Transgender people, just like everyone else, encounter a
variety of medical problems. However, many of the specific
medical complications transgender people face do not emerge in
the same way as they do with cisgender patients. There is an
immense lack of education for students in medical professions
about transgender people and their specific complications. This
paper will address several transgender patient complications, both
in emergency care and primary care situations. I will also explain
why, without the necessary training about these complications for
students going into the medical profession, transgender people
will continue to receive substandard care and continue to die or be
seriously hurt by easily treatable complications.
