I’ve noticed this problem in other places—where good patient education ends up producing misinformation because sometimes things _do_ have to be made cut and dried. There’s a big, consistent discourse about abusive relationships on Reddit specifically and it errs heavily on the side of urging people to distance themselves from an abusive partner. From a practical and public health perspective I think this is probably good. But it also produces mistakes. For what it’s worth, this also happens all the time in hospital medicine. For example, I’m taking care of a family member who had to use a medical appliance with an alarm system that activates in case of a malfunction. The first night back from the hospital the alarm system went off and could not be turned off: this created an escalating sense of crisis culminating in an ER trip for what turned out to be a loose hose and a panic attack. We learned that the device can actually be turned be turned off by pushing a button but the hospital staff don’t inform patients because just leaving the device off can cause complications with the surgical dressing. It’s a conundrum.

I'm seeing a couples counselor for individual therapy - this episode makes me feel more confident in that decision :)
