Doctors politicians bureaucrats lend me your ears

And by titling this ep, "Doctors, Politicians, Bureaucrats; Lend me your ears", I am indeed borrowing from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar as a way to start a direct but gentle and open conversation about post viral diseases, especially myalgic encephalomyelitis, and especially the state of PWD assistance in Canada, particularly British Columbia. It is created as a resource for each of those groups to share with the other as well as for patient populations share to those institutions and individuals within those institutions to increase understanding and start creating communication Bridges that will create solutions. So hopefully a much happier ending then Shakespeare's Julius caesar!!!
