Challenges in Rheumatic Patient Assessment Due to Lack of Proper Medical Support
March 10, 2026
A rheumatic patient reports being called to a medical council without a rheumatologist, where her health condition was not properly evaluated. Although there was participation from a specialist doctor in a subsequent evaluation, the process was limited to a simple interview. The patient emphasizes that her imaging tests were not considered and that evaluations should not be conducted by non-specialists. This incident raises questions about the procedures and criteria for assessing individuals with 'invisible' disabilities. The complaint has been submitted to relevant authorities and organizations for individuals with disabilities.
