Axel has something to say about the healthcare system’s obsession with labeling pain as ‘behaviour.’ Spoiler: It’s killing people.
When he became aggressive and restless, the system drugged him instead of checking for medical issues. Turns out, he had low iron and severe constipation. Simple fix. But instead, he got a cocktail of antipsychotics he didn’t need.
This isn’t just an Axel problem. It’s a system problem. And the worst part? It happens every day.
Watch as Axel’s Avatar tears into the medical gaslighting that almost cost him his life. And if you’re a healthcare professional, ask yourself—are you diagnosing, or just assuming?
