This... is from 1989. 3 decades, 0 change.
I also think you can replace the words "chronic fatigue syndrome" with any illness women suffer from and the video is just as pertinent as women in general are often dismissed by doctors it's not just an ME/CFS thing. This has been my experience my entire life and because of it at least 3 serious conditions I suffer from were diagnosed years later than they should have been.
