    A great article.

    Do share it and do leave comments on the Independent site, so we get its traffic and profile up.

    Excellent article. I have written a comment on there to partly thank Nathalie and to write how it's affected me.

    Just finished reading. This is an AMAZING article.

    Thank you so much @Nathalie Wright
    You managed to sum up all the problems faced by patients, talk about the insurance and media problem in a national UK newspaper. Wow!!

    I don't like giving Coyne any traffic at all.. his behaviour makes him persona non grata as far as I'm concerned & personally when sharing I prefer to copy and past and not share directly from his page and of course provide the observation of a 'caveat', but I do think the comment about the two women doctors was interesting.

    Hi @Nathalie Wright. You are currently my number one ME hero. What a coup getting the Independent to publish such an outspoken piece. Best article I've seen on the whole sorry saga.

    Of course. For that article, I might even stretch to a pudding as well! ;)

    I think a good way to increase the article circulation is to tag groups that might be allies - disability journalists/ groups/orgs, feminist groups, lgbt groups for example, and politicians etc; to try and spread the story beyond us & to build solidarity & recognition of similar ways in which other groups are oppressed. + to raise awareness

    hope that makes sense, brain = fried

    @Nathalie Wright, I'm speechless at the thoroughness, clarity and blistering precision of your game-changing article.
    I don't know how to thank you for this, except to tell you that my awe is equal to my gratitude for this epic piece of journalism.

    Thank you thank you thank you from the legions of us housebound and bedbound patients that have been for too long ignored or, more recently, "given a voice" by those who would like to appropriate our collective message to their own ends.
