"I'm deeply grateful to Sarah Boothby for speaking with me about her daughter Maeve, who died of severe ME/CFS. Maeve was failed over and over by clinicians who held outdated and unscientific attitudes to the condition." - Posted by ME/CFS Medical Education ( @MECFSMedEd )

Dear Twitter family, here is a story of #medicalneglect and #medicalracism. On Monday (3/20), I woke up unable to feel my legs and with clear fluid seeping from my tailbone area. My doctor told me to rush to the ER. Therefore, I went to the ER at Loma Linda @LLUHealth (1)

This story is incredibly sad, but so incredibly infuriating as well.
