She's said so many cringey stupid things We could fill a book with them and send off to her publisher quicker than she could finish her Budget Bollocks tome.
@MancBee you handsome devil! Glad you also had the strength not to do a Jack and claim that you are a famous chef, actually, and you could make much better slop than the hospital kitchen. I know people who went a bit loo-laa after coming round from anaesthetic - temporarily, thankfully, but my gran-aunt's belief that all the doctors and nurses were in the KGB was very entertaining!
My dad reacted to morphine; I remember visiting him after one of his hip replacements and he kept pointing out all the fairies that were flying around the room. I've never had anything as interesting though I did get cocaine shoved up my nose before my sinus op.
This lady is getting all up in Jack's ideas-for-crowdfunding-a-house-deposit niche! Haven't squiggled her as she's a blue ticker with 100k+ followers.
Is this not a terrible idea, unless you have several thousand friends?! Or a few very rich ones I suppose... View attachment 506098
loool these lot really lack self awareness. For a lot of WC / especially first or second gen we’re supporting our siblings, friends, and parents, not vice versa. The bank of mum and dad has wider repercussions too, it is one of the things keeping the housing market so out of reach for so many & driving gentrification. Soz for the #thread
I'm going to disagree here. Experts by experience are frequently used in things like the NHS. There is also a huge amount of criticism of autism charities being run by non-autistics and not representing us. I'm currently involved in a Scottish Government pilot scheme which uses autistic people to run the education and support sessions.
It doesn't mean you rubbish people who are qualified and work in the field but a lot of us have been told what to do our whole lives and want to advocate for ourselves.
I think the oncologist analogy is different since that is a very specialist field.
Huge agree about lived experience - but even within specialist fields like oncology, lived experience is about things like diagnosis experience, transitioning between adult and paediatric care, long term effects after treatment. Things only patients experience, not doctors or healthcare providers. Lived experience and co-design is meant to be about services for people with specific needs being designed in collaboration with the people who have those specific needs.
Of course, if you're Jack Monroe, PhD in Google and Hot Air, you probably don't have a huge grounding in what is currently going on in government and not-for-profit orgs bc that would mean sitting down and shutting up and being part of a team for five minutes.
