JaimeS' speech: Hi everyone, my name is Jaime, I was managing editor at MEAction for about a year, I worked at Stanford for about a year, and now I’m back at MEAction. You may know me on Phoenix Rising as JaimeS. I’m actually not going to talk about myself today. I’m going to talk...

I'd be happy to transcribe yours if no one's already on it.

Most excellent!

So powerful, Jaime. So powerful. Thank you. :hug:

Well done, Sally, and so nice to hear your soothing voice as well :angel:

Agreed, and the potential for mocking is very high. We don't need any more mocking. I'm imagining a late night host or stand-up comic making the twirly hand motion and saying something rude :( I appreciate what Janet is getting at here, but more thought needs to go into the audience. I agree...

I believe it's all in the big ugly bag of water-muddying terminology that hijacks terms and turns them on their head so that nobody knows, or only thinks they know, what anybody else is talking about.

I remain appalled at the sound of crickets from the medical community about these hijackings and the non sensical musings behind them. Where is the outcry and the outrage? Why are people so ready to adopt these blame-the-patient theories? Oh, I forgot, illness, tragedy, and misfortune are the...
