YouTube Movie has been released exposing the experience of five doctors living with ME, Long Covid, Lyme Disease and other related conditions. The video is not primarily narrated in English, but has English Subtitles.
“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.”

The abstract continues: “Anxieties about malingering or feigned illness are at least a thousand years old in the West”, argued public health ethicist Daniel S Goldberg in a paper on the history of “malingerers”. He gives several examples including Arnau de Vilanova who in the 13th century was so worried that patients were fooling him, by passing off other people’s urine samples as their own, that he wrote 19 pieces of advice for other physicians to spot the fraudulent. In this way, Goldberg shows how physicians have doubted the testimonies of patients for a very long time.
