Study Results

While Rare Patient Voice does not have access to the results of studies conducted by our clients, we do conduct internal studies from time-to-time and share these results back with those who participated.  In a recent study across 15 conditions, patients were asked a number of thought provoking questions about their conditions.  One of the questions was: Thinking about how other people talk about your or your loved one’s condition, what are some words or perceptions that make you cringe? What do you wish people wouldn’t say?  Here are a few responses from our patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH):

  1. The biggest one saying that makes me cringe is “You don’t look sick,” because it definitely feels like it minimalizes my condition. And other times when I’m with my loved ones and we’re walking around and I’m extremely out of breath, it drives me crazy when they have to stop and gasp and ask me if I’m okay, as if I’m dying. It’s embarrassing, especially in public.
  2. This is a hard question, but some perceptions, I don’t like the fact that people will look at me and they’ll think that I was a former smoker and that’s why I’m on oxygen, or I’m overweight, that’s why I’m on oxygen, and a lot of times I’ve been berated getting out of a car in just a disabled person spot because they think I’m being lazy. This disease is very invisible, and without my oxygen, before I was actually on the oxygen, it was very difficult, but now with the oxygen it’s a little bit easier, but I think one thing that bothers me most is people go, “Just breathe.” Well, that’s not so easy. That’s about probably the thing that irks me the most because I’m trying, I just need time.
  3. Some of the things that make me cringe is when people say, “Well, can’t you just take a pill?” “Isn’t there a pill for that?” They sometimes get me confused with high blood pressure patients, unless I have high blood pressure. And sometimes I just get tired of explaining over and over and over again what I have.
