Show Notes
"It's very important to not notice the thing, because if you notice the thing, it becomes your responsibility. You don't want to be responsible for it, so it doesn't exist anymore."
Hannah Wallen hosts with Lauren Brooks, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted on what a health system does to the men inside it — assessment regimes, disability payments that come in under the wage they replace, and who is trusted to explain their own symptoms.
Also: baby Alfie, held until he died rather than released for treatment abroad; the invisible disabilities that get you accused of faking; and why the panel thinks the male loneliness epidemic is misnamed.
"They want him to apply for a job and report to work while he's dying. And the people who assess you aren't trained nurses or doctors. They're just random people they found off the street."
