Crowdsourcing your healthcare when you're chronically ill
Journey2Joyous has released a potentially controversial article \"Crowdsourcing Your Healthcare\", bringing some pain to the medical community, as the article may challenge traditional doctors, pain management services, alternative treatment and physiotherapy care providers. The article outlines the struggle chronic illness sufferers face today resulting in the need to leverage community over traditional care.
In a somewhat atypical manner, a certain element of the article is set to spark a movement among the trained medical community to make more education on rare chronic diseases. Below is a portion of the piece, which details the controversy brewing in healthcare: While many health care professionals battle burnout just trying to stay healthy at work, those who are chronically ill are turning elsewhere to find answers amidst the pandemic.
Healthcare in 2022 will continue to struggle as many nurses, doctors and clinicians choose to leave the workforce, not only a part of the Great Resignation, but also from sheer exhaustion, or personal choices following recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding vaccination requirements for healthcare workers.
On the other hand, many who have been struggling with chronic illness, many long before COVID, are getting more and more frustrated by the lack of 'care' in healthcare today. A spokesperson for Journey2Joyous, Christie Cox, says \"Of course we do not intend to upset anybody.
The aim of our story is first and foremost to raise awareness of the pressures the chronically ill community faces as they are left out of healthcare. It is critical that we stay dedicated to our true voice speaking up for patients.
Although our ideas of\"Crowdsourcing Healthcare\" might unsettle doctors, pain management services, alternative treatment and physiotherapy care providers, our duty is to the community of chronic illness. We believe it's more important to empower patients with tools to optimize self-care and enable self-management, than to appeal to the medical system, which is notoriously difficult to navigate for many patients with complex invisible chronic illnesses.
