Four weeks ago I posted about this excellent graphic that was published in 2015. Response on social media was nearly at a wildfire level, almost entirely from patients.
I pointed this out in the patient panel discussion group at the BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal), of which I’m a member, and proposed that it become a post on their blog. They accepted the idea, and today it got posted.
A large part of our work in participatory medicine is to build compassion and partnership between patients and clinicians, so I’m thrilled that they accepted a different angle on this post: Can a compelling graphic lead to better care plans? Here’s hoping, because when we better understand each other’s challenges, things can only improve.
Excellent idea Dave! I had seen it last month online during travels and had saved it for looking at it closer later, to decide how I could best showcase it. Your post just reminded me of it and I digged it up. Now I have some ideas about showcasing it –
thanks Kathi
Dave, this is the first time I saw this graphic and I was immediately thrilled about it! I’ve posted this to the CF Learning Network Exchange and hope it generates discussion and deeper thinking around treatment burden in CF. Thank you for this.
Great to hear that, Sophia – thanks for letting us know!
