Sadly the free recording app I used glitched a few times, but I think the general sense is there. Far from perfect but I don't have the brain power to try to record it again and I'm sure many of you are wondering what's the what with me, so it felt long overdue to update. GoFundMe which I

In Part 4 of her testimony to The #MissingMillions Podcast Madeline discusses how important it has been for her to engage with society and community through volunteering. Chronic illness can lead to severe social isolation, much of which could be prevented by lifting people out of poverty and providing more robust medical supports.

Ep. 5 - Christmas in July

I AM MADELINE ·

2021/07/22

"If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." said the world's most famous miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, of those in poverty, before his Christmas Eve enlightenment. Now, in 2021, the Canadian government has introduced a basic income for people with disabilities. It won't be law until it's likely far too late for Madeline and others with chronic illness or disability, barely surviving on government income well below the poverty line. --- Send in a voice

Ep. 2 - Hysteria

2021/05/31

Madeline’s disease has long been dismissed as “hysteria” a broad and harmful quasi-medical designation that was listed in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders in 1968 and removed in 1980. Millions of ME sufferers have been dismissed with this so-called diagnosis, which is drawn from a lack of evidence and extreme bias. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/i-am-madeline/message
