Sarah Martin, a patient author from Scotland, UK, criticizes politicians for blaming ill and disabled people for systemic failures in the NHS and society. Despite low fraud rates for disability benefits, the government has targeted this group as scapegoats. Martin shares her personal struggles with misdiagnosis and lack of proper treatment within the NHS, highlighting the challenges faced by those with chronic illnesses. She calls for a reformation of the healthcare system to prioritize patient care and address the root causes of ill health, rather than demonizing vulnerable individuals. Martin emphasizes the need for comprehensive changes in healthcare to support those unable to work due to health issues.
