Crisis Averted!

We have managed to secure Malpractice insurance with 48 hours to spare. While it will cost me vastly more rupees than it used to in order to open this chest, we can continue to serve our teen patients. This insurance policy does not forcibly exclude them. No patients under 18 will lose access to our care. That was a compromise I was very unwilling to make and there are still some good companies out there who can prioritize people over profits.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this, including our new office manager Pepper who spearheaded this whole endeavor. She worked tirelessly for months while simultaneously cleaning up other very large messes left behind by others. PFM is so grateful and lucky to have her.

Effectively, business will continue as usual and nobody is losing access to their HRT.

I can't predict what other miseries 2026 has in store for us, but at least for now, one very large fire has been extinguished.

Thanks for your support through these trying times.

We are doing all we can to prevent having to suspend operations such that we can secure a malpractice insurance provider who will allow us to continue to treat our transgender teenagers. They may be a tiny fraction of the practice (literally less than a percentage point) but they are just as important as every other patient.

Every iron is in every proverbial fire right now, and I will be making an updated statement in a few days about what options remain to us. In the event we are unable to secure malpractice insurance in time, there may be a brief shutdown period of operations when we lack malpractice coverage and we enter further negotiations to obtain it, but where we are forced to make concessions about who we can and cannot treat moving forward in this political environment in order to be able to provide care to some of our patients even if not all of them. I will not choose this option unless it is the only one available to me.

Please do not panic, we are doing everything possible under the sun to do solve this before the end of Feb. A mass message will be sent to all registered patients in a few days if there is not a very happy update to give here instead.

I'm doing my best for ALL of you. That means even the "undesirables" too.

I'm sorry that things are this way, if I was king, it'd be different, but I'm not, and for now, I'll do what I can.

Unfortunately I have COVID. Got hit like a freight train and the rest of this week of DPC patients will have to be rescheduled.

I appreciate your understanding. It's been 3 years since I've had it and so I'm getting hit by a truck unfortunately with this bout.

I appreciate your patience if I'm a little slower than usual getting back to my messages/refills. If someone needs something critically, please email questions@Powersfamilymedicine.com

New PFM finger spinner keychains just dropped. Score one for yourself for free at the office starting Tuesday when you check out!

People seemed to like these even more than the spinning rings so I made a fresh new batch and style!

Sommer will be going on her honeymoon from Feb 16 to March 10th.

It is entirely possible that we do not have another provider at that time to act as backup.

As I am doing DPC, I cannot see non-DPC patients. There are rules about these things.

As a result if you need something from her, please schedule it or request your refills before that time. She may have limited access to a computer while she's traveling, but she'll be international and enjoying herself and I think she deserves the time off after all she's been through this past year with me.

I'm sorry for things like this, it is certainly not normal for people to not have access to their provider for 3 weeks, or even a backup provider, but these are dark times, and well, we're doing the best we can. Please plan accordingly.

-Dr. Powers

Ps: this has absolutely zero impact on my DPC patients. Assuming I don't kick the bucket before then!

I can't believe I'm saying this in 2026 as its been endless bad news so far, but I finally found a source for safe, reliable 100mg estradiol implant pellets! I've been trying to do this for literally years without success. 50mg has always been the largest I could get made, with an average implant duration time of about 12-14 effective months.

We will still be carrying the 50mg pellets included with DPC membership, but these 100mg pellets will be special order, carry a premium price on them (due to their small batch nature) and be shipped directly to the patient who will have to bring them physically to the office for implantation.

Basically, due to volume to surface area changes (Cube/square) increasing the size of a pellet causes said pellet to last longer before degrading. This is actually the trick behind how those ultra long acting T depo-shots work. It's just a large pool of hormones chilling in a ball in your tissue, slowly being picked up. That's the actual "half life". Not the drug's ester itself.

These pellets may be of interest to those who are looking to get a set of pellets implanted that might last them until another presidential election takes place. If you are planning on reimplantation soon and want these, please notify my staff (stacy or cameron .com ) before your appointment as they are special order only.

In addition, we can now acquire 200mg testosterone pellets again, and so please reach out if you're interested in those.

Just to assuage some fears.

The new contract for the DPC 2026 should be available on the website tomorrow.

No one who is currently a DPC member is going to be booted. So don't worry if you don't get a brand new contract signed by the first of the year, it's fine. We're going to have some degree of leniency for the first few weeks with renewals and scheduling DPC appointments here as we deal with the fallout of the many many situations that have been plaguing us as detailed in the private message sent to all patients. I'm not going to tell a 2025 DPC subscriber that they're not allowed to make an appointment because we haven't gotten ourselves together to have a contract and everything else processed and ready in time because of our internal issues.

I really don't know what else to say, we're really doing our best. But the effects on the business were catastrophic. We can only be attacked on so many fronts before we implode. I could deal with the external pressures, the death threats and government harassment were nothing new, but the internal corruption was heartbreaking and I'm still really struggling with the fallout of that. This is going to negatively impact the practice for a very long time. It's been a cancer that's been unknowingly eating at us for years.

We did realize today that a multitude of people got sent to spam when emailing Marisa. I'm fixing that literally right now as I reply to the 50-ish emails that just got sent to my inbox that were accidentally ignored.

If you've not gotten the reply by New Year's Day, email pepper@powersfamilymedicine.com . But I ask that you only email her if you meet those conditions because she is literally my firefighter right now, putting out fires left and right that we weren't even aware were ablaze until recently.

I'm terribly sorry to anybody whom has suffered as a result of this catastrophe. I'm doing all I can do to make things right ASAP.

We are doing everything we can to try and get everybody's paperwork and everything else taken care of by the end of the year even though we're being asked to do it in the last 48 hours.

That being said if you email the office, from "AvrilLavigneLuver82@gmail.com", and make a bunch of requests, we don't know who you are.

Please provide us your accurate information so that we know who we are talking to, and please contact us from the registered email that you have at the practice. If you don't do this, there will be delays until we verify your information, as we need to make sure you are actually you in order to protect your health information.

Please provide your preferred name, your legal name, your date of birth, and use whatever your registered email is with the practice. If you cannot contact us from that email anymore, please provide a phone number which we can call you to verify the information and confirm that you can provide us with proof that you are who you are.

This is to protect you, we cannot just take random gmails from people we've never heard from before and just assume they are you because you say so.

Happy Birthday to Dr. Powers who took the day off to visit family and go to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History to see cool rocks!

Thanks for your patience while he takes the day off!

As of this moment, in response to the mass message, Marisa has 210 emails. She's doing her best to redirect them and handle "Xmas Portal Crisis 2025" to her best ability. Sommer and I are seeing as many people as we can as just the two of us. We appreciate your understanding as we internally restructure in such a way as that we can continue providing quality care to as many of you as we still can.

I ask that before you email her with questions about the message, please read the message again. I tried to be as specific as possible about things, and many of the questions she's receiving are detailed in the portal message itself. If you still have questions, then email marisa@powersfamilymedicine.com.

During dark times, it's important to keep your focus on good things that cast light into your life, otherwise you'll find yourself swallowed up by the void.

For me that's always been doing fun things for people that I care about. Enjoying the small joys of life. Even when things might be hard for me.

To that, along with our normal free office spinning fidget keychains and rings, there's custom rainbow PFM Christmas ornaments available for anyone who stops by this week! We've still got a lot of them left!

12/15/2025

A mass message has been privately sent via the portal and also to all registered emails of the practice.

This message will be sending from 8am today until 8pm tomorrow (Tuesday) and so if you do not receive it by that point, contact Marisa@powersfamilymedicine.com for a copy.

This messaging system is not instant, and has a limit of messages per minute, thus it will take 48 hours to send them all. As of right now:

"This campaign is active. 2,121 of 5,162 scheduled messages have been sent"

If you did receive it, and do not want to be registered at the practice or to share your email, also let her know, and we will remove you from our patient contact list.

I have done all I can for now.
