Emilia’s kingdom 2

Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.

PhD Research Question:
Many psychiatrists currently refuse to accept the serious physical nature of
M.E. and state that it is “merely a faulty illness belief”, or “somatoform
disorder”. (June 14 2006 Invest in ME press release)
“The treatment (or lack of it) of ME sufferers in the UK is a national scandal.”
(Professor Malcolm Hooper, University of Sunderland)

Three Stages of Mimesis (an interpretation)
Mimesis 1: The realisation that meaning can be derived from sufferers experiences of living with M.E.
Mimesis 2: The creation of something representable with form (photographs) from raw experience, making it visible & understandable.
Mimesis 3: The outcome of the creation (photographs) being observed & interpreted via exhibition, publication or website.

Variability is the law of life and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.
