How do we engage with anti-Medicine narratives? How do we balance listening and telling? How do we value people's lived experiences but reject dangerous narratives, pseudoscience and fake healers? Things I've been thinking about, in the wake of precious little Elizabeth Struh's death.

long covid isn't just stopping people from working, exercising, socialising, living independently. it's also snuffing out patients' dreams of having children, and complicating pregnancy for those who are able to conceive www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

interesting piece. as an aside, what’s behind this reflex of not wanting to raise alarm about alarming data/studies/trends? “there’s something really going on,” nielsen says. “we don’t want to alarm the world, but that’s what our data are showing.”
