@Dr.Patient, @jeff_w, and myself (@Gingergrrl) are in the very early stages of creating a new website for healthcare providers whose careers were interrupted or ended by ME/CFS.
I am posting this to see how many people here on PR would be interested in sharing their stories on this website. We are looking for licensed healthcare professionals of any field (doctors, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, etc) Basically anyone from any country worldwide who provided direct patient care and is now an ME/CFS patient.
To quote @Dr.Patient below:
"The mission of this website is to gather all health care providers who are also sufferers of this illness. Their stories posted and updated as needed will become the strongest voice to handle opposing physicians, increase awareness in the medical community, and helping in formulating proper diagnostic criteria."
So if you are interested in joining us, please either add your name to this thread or send me a PM. Once we get enough names, we will form a private group on PR to discuss this plan and let each person know what we need when they write their story. The website does not exist yet but it will and we are very excited about it!
Also, let us know if you know someone in the healthcare field with ME/CFS who may be interested but is not a member of PR (only with their permission of course!) and we want as many stories as possible! Thank you to everyone in advance who may participate.
