“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

They Wanted Debate. She Needed Oxygen.



⟡ She Couldn’t Breathe. They Wanted to Debate It. ⟡
Apparently, verifying asthma now requires verbal cross-examination.

A calm, oxygen-starved objection to the absurd: the hospital demanded argument while the patient struggled to breathe. Rather than checking the child or offering care, staff insisted on debating clinical reality. This is what happens when care is replaced with confrontation.


I. What Happened

She arrived at the hospital unable to breathe.
Instead of providing care, they asked for justification.
They challenged her symptoms.
They ignored her child, Honor.
They argued.

Meanwhile, she was trying not to collapse.
No adjustments. No support. Just hostility.
And when she said it out loud — gently, by email —
no one responded.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That the parent was verbally pressured during active respiratory distress

  • That staff refused to assess her child’s symptoms and instead debated their validity

  • That disability-related communication limits were ignored

  • That no adjustments were made to reduce verbal demand or accommodate breathlessness

  • That trauma from these encounters is passed generationally — and institutionally


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because no one should be expected to argue for air.
Because speaking is not proof of capacity — it's sometimes a final act of harm.
Because medical professionals are trained to listen —
but here, they only debated.
And because when help feels like a courtroom,
you start writing instead.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Discrimination Against Disabled Individual During Medical Emergency

  • Institutional Refusal to Accept Nonverbal Disability Disclosures

  • Emotional Harm Inflicted Through Verbal Pressure During Respiratory Distress

  • Failure to Assess Child’s Symptoms Due to Institutional Bias

  • Absence of Reasonable Adjustments in Clinical or Social Service Settings


V. SWANK’s Position

She said it plainly:
“We only talk when it’s meaningful.”
But the system doesn't want meaning — it wants submission.
They asked for proof.
She gave them exhaustion.
And now, they’re on file for arguing with someone who couldn’t breathe.

Feedback Loop: Harm, Gaslight, Repeat: How Public Services Turn Asthma into Administrative Failure



⟡ “Does Anyone Want My Perspective?” ⟡
*A Written-Only Parent Maps the Entire Abuse Loop — and Offers the Solution No One Requested

Email identifying the repeating abuse cycle caused by verbal contact pressure and asthma dismissal. Offers solutions including GP-backed A&E access and verbal-free protocols.


I. What Happened

On 24 November 2024, Polly Chromatic submitted a clear and emotionally grounded breakdown of the institutional abuse cycle surrounding her and her children. It had two parts:

  1. Verbal contact pressure, which exacerbates her asthma

  2. Medical gaslighting, which results in her and her children being denied care

She wrote:

“Everyone tries to force me to explain things verbally repeatedly, which exacerbates my asthma — and they also get angry if I try to communicate via email.”

Then she asked, plainly:

“Does anyone want my perspective?”

She didn’t stop there. She proposed solutions:

  • A disability advocate for her family

  • A GP-issued letter for A&E

  • Hospital protocols that eliminate the need for verbal speech


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That verbal contact pressure constitutes disability-based harm

  • That asthma-related A&E dismissal forms a repeatable institutional loop

  • That the refusal to accept written communication creates a system that both triggers illness and blames the response

  • That disabled individuals are left to solve the system’s failure themselves

  • That this email is both diagnosis and remedy — and no one followed up


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because if you need a flowchart to survive public health systems, you’ve already been failed.

This email is both a cry for help and a policy draft. It says: here’s the problem, and here’s what would fix it. And it’s addressed to every tier of authority — GP, solicitor, social worker, and mental health.

SWANK logs it not because it’s emotional, but because it’s surgical.
When institutions refuse to admit the pattern, disabled people must file it themselves.


IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t erratic.
It was cartography.

We do not accept that “asthma” should mean learning to reverse-engineer the NHS.
We do not accept that children must suffer to prove a mother isn’t unstable.
We will document every time someone offered the solution — and the state left it unread.

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

Filed: 23 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/NHS/EMAIL-05
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2024-11-23_SWANK_Email_Reid_HospitalDisbelief_DisabilityWitnessNarrative.pdf
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 —

  1. Defensive hospital staff

  2. Basic failure to follow protocol

  3. 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.
