<p>That's my clinic! When I started in SF's poor people health insurance plan, I was at another clinic where they were giving me flat-out-wrong medical information & not really listening to me or my symptoms. Lyon Martin saved me. What's most remarkable about that place is how genuinely compassionate the entire staff is.� They are doing it because they care & want you to feel better.� As a basically untestable-symptom chronically-ill person, having a medical care provider who listens and incorporates what I tell them into my treatment is pretty crucial to my health & well-being.</p>
<p>Recently, when MRSA was eating my arm at a few-inches-an-hour rate, and then later when I had an allergic reaction to my antibiotics, LM was able to see me quickly, diagnose me properly, and advise me well. </p>
<p>I am pretty crushed that it's closing (after 30 years!) and urge anyone who cares about the health of the genderqueer community to support them.� I am the most sad to think about all of their trans patients who will now have to figure out how to navigate a different, much less sympathetic medical system.</p>
