Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics should not prejudice medical diagnositics, and reserve their assumptions.

There’s a reason why the ‘Separation of duties’ exists in healthcare systems.

Mental Health Awareness Month—Empty Words, Real Consequences
Awareness?
But I was gaslit.
Discarded.
Humiliated.
Called a slur.
Collapsed.
Alone.
Forgotten.
Admitted weeks later.

“Even healthcare workers are often shocked at how quickly they are dismissed and disbelieved once they become patients.”

“This disregard of patient experience and patient expertise severely limits medical knowledge. It results in delayed diagnoses, misdiagnoses, missing data, and incorrect data.

Hospitals and doctors/nurses hiding behind 'legal liability' as they continue to deny Black people healthcare is forever going to earn a hard side eye from me.

ME, Long Covid, and the History of Medical Stigma (Podcast)

I recently had the pleasure of talking with the folks at the Norwegian ME Association for their (excellently produced) podcast series.

John Oliver addressed medical bias on Last Week Tonight.

Weighing in on the issue was comedian Wanda Sykes, who had undergone a double mastectomy. What did she get for pain relief?

"Ibu-fucking-profen," Sykes said.
