After 3 years photographing 50 people with #MECFS, I’ve learnt more than in the 40+ years since my own diagnosis. #LivesWeCannotLive #PwME

Some people were so ill I could only take a few frames before it became too much for them & I had to leave. #SevereME is devastating. #LivesWeCannotLive #documentaryphotography

This is a cartoon in the ‘This Week in Disbelief’ series.

There is a single image.

A woman patient sits with files on her lap. SShe has so many files that they’re falling out of the image and into the real world. The files are labelled #ME #LongCovid #Lyme+

Next to the woman an angry male doctor is throwing papers in the air.

The caption says - “That moment when you realise your doctor has decided not to believe you...”

This Week in Disbelief

People with #ME and #LC are learning consistently and fast...

So the enduring mystery is why so many doctors worldwide are not learning anything new at all.

In the UK you can hound a Black professor to death
but you cannot stop a single white professor whose ideas are maiming & killing people worldwide
The BPSmodel of post infectious illnesses kills!

Today’s cartoon is coincidentally apposite - if anyone in BacME feels slighted they would do well to to think about what is causing our rage. HINT - “if I don’t have enough energy to peel a carrot+do the washing up then physical therapy is not what I need” 🤦‍♀️

The cartoon title is ‘This Week in Disbelief’

The cartoon is a long column with three sections.

Section One says -

Word of the Day ‘Unasinous’
(Adjective: from Latin; unus = one + asinus = ass)

Section two is headed ‘MEANING’ and provides the dictionary definition of unasinous as -

"A foolish/ignorant belief that spreads to everyone in a group"

Section three title is - ‘Use in a sentence’
In the bottom right Wise Cat is saying

“Since the 2001 'Malingerers & Illness Fakers Conference' the field of #ME has been stuffed full of UNASINOUS MEDICS”

A virus may kill you quickly, but post-viral illness can destroy your family, your career, your bank balance, your trust in doctors,and ultimately it can take your life.

The cartoon series is called - This Week in Disbelief...

Heading - Viral and post-viral illnesses can kill you

There is a picture of a young woman dead in bed. And a voice from her phone on the floor is saying “Hello? Hello...?”

The caption says ‘WEAR A MASK’

That's me in the black and white photo, top right. Do consider supporting Jeremy's exhibition documenting the lives blighted by this unrelenting illness. #LivesWeCannotLive #SevereME Thank you, Jeremy.

The image shows a sceptical doctor and a woman patient.

The dr is saying “So, you think you're suffering from long covid or #ME?”

The woman is replying “Nope, I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from your ignorance!”

It’s really disgraceful the way the British Medical Establishment has weaponised the biopsychosocial model worldwide. I apologise for my fellow citizens.

Here’s my cartoon for this week attacking the BMA on this issue.
