Hello! Thank you for visiting Pissed Off Patients. As you might have noticed, many of the sites pages have been disabled as the website is currently under construction! Don’t worry, we are working hard to bring a new beginning to POP full of research, resources for both patients and providers, a blog you can submit to, and maybe even some merch! Check back soon!

What People Are Saying

 
“It has always been difficult for me to discuss my medical experiences, especially, the traumatic ones. Partially because I feel guilty that so many have had it much worse and it makes you feel vulnerable. POP has created an open and non-judgmental space to talk about it. Our experiences as patients come in all shapes and forms and POP recognizes and embraces this for everyone that joins. I especially love that the group is working to make these stories and lessons visible to medical students and healthcare practitioners.”
— Tasia, Rare New England 
 
“For much of my life therapists told me that I MUST be suppressing sexual trauma in childhood. For the first time in 44 years, your group showed me the connection between medical trauma and how that affects my relationships with others.”
— Sarah, The Dreaded Advocate
“Emily has created a safe space to talk about something that doesn’t get brought up enough in the chronic illness community. I am so thankful to be a part of a group that is making strides toward helping patients heal from Medical Trauma.

“POP! groups are a great way to connect with other patients and feel less alone. Dealing with chronic illness can be an extremely isolating experience, and every pop meeting I have attended has made me feel connected and seen.”
