IFFGD @IFFGD
A1 Shame and stigma are significant barriers to obtaining an accurate diagnosis & proper care for many pts. #patientchat
IFFGD @IFFGD
A1 For many, the emotional impact of shame & stigma may reduce their quality of life even more than their symptoms. #patientchat
Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc
T1: Shame prohibits patients and doctors from engaging in meaningful conversations & often prevents patients from seeking care. #patientchat https://t.co/CcLhbJhQRx
Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84
@angelee828 WI girls hitting a lot of chats lately! #PatientChat
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T1 I don't think shame is exclusive to healthcare, I think shame is an untreated symptom of being a chronic patient in life. #patientchat
STELLAR Study @StellarStudy

Stroke Tattler @Stroketattler
T1 @abrewi3010 Hi Alan, I would totally agree that anything "chronic" is positioned as preventable, your responsibility #patientchat
M&B Sciences @mbsciencesinc
@patientchat A1: So many illnesses are stigmatized in society, leaving patients at risk of avoiding seeking treatment out of shame. #patientchat #noshame
Rie Lopez, MPH (she/her) @RieOfLetters
T1: Shame comes from many places- not being able to do things we want, invisibility of illness, that it's all in your head. #patientchat
Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84
T1: Numerous roles; to an extent shame and preconceived notions can go hand in hand some conditions. HCP perception and public #patientchat
Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical
T1 shame is a dominant part of society: shame of social status, of mental/physical condition, of challenging authority #patientchat
