“I do not waste my time arguing with people.”

That sentence should be engraved in hospital corridors.

Not because I can’t argue,
but because I no longer perform for systems that weaponise disbelief.

“They either want to help or they don’t.”

And when they don’t?
I don’t escalate. I document.
Because a sovereign woman does not plead for what is hers by right.

“If they don’t want to help, I document it online and move on.”

That’s not passive.
That’s public record management.

“I cannot speak verbally to argue or explain things, period.”

Let me simplify for the NHS:
Verbal interaction is not a diagnostic requirement.
It’s a privileged assumption.

“They bully me every time we have a respiratory issue and don’t believe me.”

You call it triage.
We call it institutional gaslighting with a lanyard.

“My asthma is much worse now because of that ignorant doctor.”

So I won’t argue.
I’ll type. I’ll timestamp. I’ll make the archive louder than your excuses.

The Email

On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic wrote to Kirsty Hornal and Sarah Newman, with Laura Savage, Philip Reid, and Simon O’Meara copied:

“I’m very ill and afraid to go to A&E just to be bullied and not believed.”
“Every time it’s almost too much trouble to bother because it’s so much effort to even get there when I can’t breathe.”
“Then they want to argue about it and they make me even sicker, and on top of that they accuse me of crimes because they are so hostile and don’t believe me.”
“The bottom line is that no one cares, so it’s best if everyone just leaves us alone and we will deal with it as best we can.”
“I greatly appreciate Dr Reid for his help. No one has ever helped us like he has.”

This is not avoidance. It is self-preservation.
Every emergency visit becomes a trial by disbelief, with breathing framed as evidence and silence framed as guilt.

A Final Plea

Please Note: I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.

Belief as Treatment: Why Refusing to Trust Disabled Patients Is a Public Health Crisis

⟡ “This Is THE Problem” ⟡
A Multi-Generational Asthma Testimony on Medical Disbelief, Social Misfit, and the Right to Be Believed While Suffocating

Email sent to medical, legal, and safeguarding authorities detailing the traumatic impact of disbelief toward a disabled mother and her asthmatic children — both socially and medically.

I. What Happened

In this message, Polly Chromatic writes plainly: there are three problems —

Defensive hospital staff
Basic failure to follow protocol
Being treated like a liar while trying to breathe

This email was sent to Dr. Philip Reid, Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, Fiona Dias-Saxena, Laura Savage, and others. It documents:

A direct quote from a doctor who said: “I don’t believe you” during a respiratory flare
The recurrence of disbelief across schools, hospitals, and social work settings
A refusal to have her children endure the same
The social need for peers who share their condition — not just tolerate it

It closes with a statement of grief, resolve, and perspective:

“I feel blessed that they have it. I can’t however stand to see them suffer the way I have.”

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Medical trauma from being dismissed in the middle of acute breathing distress
Chronic disbelief of both verbal and non-verbal disability symptoms
Social exclusion as a direct outcome of medical scepticism
Cultural insight into why affinity-based communities matter for marginalised health conditions
Witness-level account of procedural neglect, generational asthma, and institutional cruelty

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this email is not about one doctor, or one A&E visit.
It is about disbelief as policy, and the violence of being told “you’re fine” while gasping for air.

It’s also a sociological diagnosis: of why children raised in systems that deny disability must form private worlds — not for retreat, but for survival.

SWANK logs it not as a grievance, but as a testimonial archive — one that collapses law, health, and anthropology into a single witness statement.

IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t overreaction. It was resistance from someone who’s spent a lifetime explaining why she can’t talk — to people who never listen.

We do not accept that verbal disability must be disbelieved until collapse.
We do not accept that asthma must be proven through trauma to qualify for care.
We will document every doctor who said “I don’t believe you” — and every breath that had to answer them.
