A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

Be excellent to each other
Absolutely no ableism.
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

While some doctors can obviously be problematic, the bigger issue is really the insurance companies and medical gouging from Pharmaceutical companies much more than doctors. I would personally like single payer that also makes sure to pay properly for procedures, rather than it going to companies charging ridiculous markups on meds.
