PSA: If you are a nurse, when you ask a patient if they have anyone at home to care for them after surgery, and that patient says no, the correct response is to believe them, not make out like they're lying and then shame them for not having someone in their life that can 1/4

I don’t think non-disabled people realize that medical providers don’t truly manage your healthcare for you… the best you can hope for is that they clearly tell you how to manage it yourself. For many patients, managing their health is a full time, unpaid job.

I made a shocking discovery in my medical notes that’s left me reeling.

I was actually dx with MECFS in 2015 & a specialist physio found I had a plexus injury in 2018. Both dx were ignored by my other drs.

Good to hear Laura Tingle acknowledging Australia is a racist country.

Those disagreeing need to actually listen to people subject to systemic and frequent acts of racism before declaring Australia to be otherwise.

Those who do not experience racism don't get to decide.

A call to researchers who have well-characterised stored blood samples from POTS/dysautonomia patients and other related diseases to get in touch with me: pre-and post-covid.

The number of cases of COVID in residential aged care homes has more than doubled during the course of 6 weeks.
