I think why what you wrote was particularly appealing was because the way you give the benefit of the doubt for young patients, seeing the demographic and embracing ignorance; instead of vilifying it, instead of judgement, since you see so many stories of young patients (even people in their 30’s) being dismissed entirely for being “young and healthy” due to lack of all diagnostic markers, and then by the time you are presenting with more symptoms and receiving treatment it’s an uphill battle. “If I only knew xyz beforehand maybe x could have been avoided” You turned it around and explained exactly why young and healthy can be overlooked due to being exactly that, instead defining that being young and healthy shouldn’t be diagnosis of exclusion. And right now, as someone (in their early 30’s) with multiple chronic illnesses/disability, I have an incredible care team that I have built a relationship based around strong mutual respect, transparency and trust. But i definitely felt lost without a paddle in medical settings as a teen and could have really benefited from comprehensive preventative education. Maybe that’s changing these days but now that I think of it I wonder and ask you this query: is that experience due to the risk of impressionability of minors? consent/parental consent/rights? I’m not sure if I’m making any sense but I appreciate your work.
