(May 23, 2019) "Ms Chittick claims to have heard cruel nurses mutter the phrase 'attention-seeker' under their breath when they walked past her laying helplessly in bed. And before she discharged with no answers to her ailment, medics allegedly refused to help her sit up in bed, give her water or even let her shower. 'Despite my condition deteriorating drastically, I was repeatedly told that I'd be better after a good sleep and be back at work within a fortnight,' Ms Chittick said." "The 50-year-old said: ‘There is now more than enough biomedical evidence out there proving ME is not hysteria or deconditioning. ‘To argue otherwise is similar to climate change deniers. ‘It is time for egos to be put aside, for the science to be listened to, for patients to be listened to and the Hippocratic Oath to be remembered – do no harm.’" '''ME parents’ fury at child abuse claims'''<ref>{{Cite news | publisher =Daily Express | date = Jun 23, 2015 |url=http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/585891/ME-parents-fury-child-abuse-claims | title = ME parents’ fury at child abuse claims|last = Wheeler | first = Caroline}}</ref> ''The Express'' By: Caroline Wheeler.
