Original Title: Doctors As Patients (2025) - Interviews with Dutch healthcare professionals who contracted disabling post-viral illnesses and had to confront stigma and lack of awareness from their medical peers (CC) [00:56:25]
A documentary by Dutch patient advocate Anil van der Zee following the experiences of five medical doctors who contracted various infection-associated chronic conditons, including ME/CFS, chronic Lyme and Long COVID.
The doctors share their experience of day-to-day life as well as insights into confronting disbelief, dismissal and in some cases derision from the medical profession over what are sometimes described as "contested illnesses".
