From the description: "In this film, five medical doctors open up about living with #PAIS/#IACC conditions like #me #longCOVID, and chronic #Lyme. It’s a format that I believe has never been shown before, not just in the Netherlands but possibly worldwide!

They speak candidly about their experiences with #illness, what they were taught (or not taught) in medical school, and how that shaped their own treatment decisions—sometimes even leading to harm. They reflect on how becoming patients themselves radically changed their views on #medicine, #science, and what needs to change in #healthcare. It’s raw, honest, and incredibly insightful—for medical professionals, researchers, politicians, and #patients alike.

This project was a true labor of love. We had zero budget. Three amazing cameramen, a few behind-the-scenes heroes, the MDs themselves, and those from the community who shared material for the film—all volunteered their time and energy. It wasn’t easy: illness and #PEM often got in the way, but we somehow made it."

#SafeToSleep created the #PublicHealth messaging for this information & distributed it on social media, as well as in pamphlets targeted to specific groups, such as #grandparents, & translated it into different languages. It also provided the materials to #hospitals & #doctor's offices to be handed out to #patients.

The New York Times · Florida Seeks Drug Prescription Data With Names of Patients and DoctorsBy Reed Abelson

_The Evening Post_, 27 February 1925:
      LOCAL AND GENERAL…
  A #Wellington periodical recently published #photographs showing a number of infantile paralysis #patients who are under treatment at the Wellington Hospital. At yesterday’s meeting of the Hospital Board, exception to the photographs being published was taken by Mr. C. H. Chapman, who wanted to know who gave permission for the photographs to be taken. He voiced his strong disapproval of such photographs being permitted to be taken, and said he hoped that whoever had taken them would never be permitted to do so again. The chairman (Mr. F. Castle) said as far as he knew no member of the board gave authority. Mr. C. M. Luke stated that his committee intended to bring up the matter at its next meeting.
