This is actually a video produced by a pwME, Adam, who uses the moniker A Broken Battery. It just quotes George Monbiot. Adam makes a lot of excellent videos.

Have yet to watch video, am reading through the comments.
Comments are quite a mix of heartbreak, hope, and gratitude.

Okay, 1/2 way through video now. Paused it to make emails to my friend Julie in Surrey UK, and to my parents and brother here in US.
Dad was diagnosed with ME/CFS by US Navy doctors in early/mid 1980s and within military healthcare it was at beginning specifically said to be physical and not psychological, and specifically so by military Psychiatrist, & Dad seems to have gotten, be getting, pretty decent treatment for it & bunches of physical lab tests and results.
(he turned 84 this year)

Meanwhile, for those of us who are living out here in the civilian world ...

What a great summary of a medical scandal. Thanks to all the creators for this. The suffering of ME patients, not only because of their illness, but also as a result of improper treatments, has now been demonstrated. In the legal context you could call this serious abuse, in some cases resulting in death. The problem is that the doctors who are guilty of this, consciously or unconsciously, get away with it without any legal punishment. Lawyers should investigate this further in order to bring a legal claim against the group of doctors who have abused and ridiculed ME patients for so long. A sincere apology from the medical world would be appropriate!

Thanks for that info. I've changed the thread title accordingly.
