When I was going through the Great Medication Refill Denial Crisis of 2022, very few other people were aware of it, or involved. The receptionists and the pharmacy consultants knew I was struggling. Some friends and family heard about it from me. The doctor who denied the refill may have not even been aware of the repercussions of her actions. There was enormous drama happening in a very dark corner.
Then I wrote about it. And I learned that other people I know have gone through similar difficulties. I learned that friends of mine were also struggling with invisible disabilities, also denied essential healthcare. And I started to wonder how we could make this healthcare system, that so often does its cruel deeds in the dark, more visible.
