"But the worst part? It’s not the symptoms. It’s the looks..it's the #gaslighting of the #disabled .. #doctors, relatives, strangers. Everyone’s an expert until u ask them to live a week in your ruined skin.": buff.ly/6ayKim3

And it's wild that statements like this seem so obvious they barely feel like they bear repeating when you have a chronic illness, but to healthy people they seem barely possible. #ChronicIllness #MedicalGaslighting

What happens when two surgeons recommend operating on your loved one—but cannot clearly show you the medical evidence proving that surgery will actually repair the damage?

The Fear Prescription

A diagnosis that creates panic and demands immediate action deserves a second opinion. Always.

Never let fear rush your health choices. Take your time to uncover the absolute truth.

Und das von einer Gynäkologin, einer Frau.

Ich kann gar nicht sagen, wie wütend mich das macht.

As i've said before, the course of my life has been significantly influenced by gaslighting from health care professionals. And not just in the context of ME/CFS. And it keeps happening.

The power imbalance is large, and the likelihood of accountability is small.

Polly Patterson - Supporting Clients Through Medical Gaslighting
Author and advocate, Polly Patterson, has contributed a deep dive article about gaslighting from her perspective as a patient. 

The first of two pieces, this explores how gaslighting comes about, how it makes patients feel and how it impacts their ability to access care. 

She offers advice for therapists working with patients who have gone through this. Her next article will focus on how therapists can support clients through the process of advocating for themselves when challenging gaslighting.

Bei #MECFS und #LongCovid läuft gerade ein riesiges Real-Experiment zur Schädlichkeit von #MedicalGaslighting. Kein Ethikrat der Welt würde es jemals genehmigen. Ich hoffe, daß es wenigstens ausgewertet wird.
