First AGLP Zoom Case Conference:  The case of the "agitated" transgender woman: Treating transphobia in the hospital

Sunday, August 23, 2020  8:30-9:30 PM EDT, 5:30-6:30 PM PDT 

This case conference is only for health professionals.

Description:  Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison service was consulted for possible treatment for an "agitated" 29-year-old transgender woman, with a history of HIV who was hospitalized for an anorectal abscess. She was upset she was  misgendered several times by her  care team. She indicated that it had been a long time since anyone has called her by “that name,” and those actions had made her angry and irritable, and her hospital stay, unbearable. Patient admitted she was verbally aggressive; however, she stated she was able to calm down and utilize humor to cope with her situation (“they can call me a tree or an elephant, I don't care.”). 

Antoine (Tony) Beayno, MD is a Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry fellow at Mount Sinai. He recently completed his residency in Psychiatry at the American University of Beirut.  He is a board member of the Lebanese Medical Association for Sexual Health (LebMASH). Interests include LGBTQ+ and  HIV  Psychiatry. 

Discussant:  Marshall Forstein, MD was one of the first openly-gay residents at Massachusetts General Hospital, and has worked with people with AIDS since his residency in 1981. He works with the LGBTQ communities and with people with HIV and teaching and training at Harvard Medical School, and is very involved with the APA's committee on HIV. In 1986, he and his husband were one of the first gay male couples to adopt an infant in the Boston area. Dr. Forstein is currently the Vice Chair of Psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, the public sector health care system affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
