Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

Yeah, nobody is ever able to complete university level study without sitting in lecture halls listening to egotistical professors ramble on, that's not possible...

Not saying it's not possible. Just that the system is like that for a reason. And it's really silly if you sign into a specific curriculum and not plan to adhere to it's rules.

It's like buying an expensive tool and throw out the manual, use it in a way it's not designed to and then complain about it.

You can just not enroll, or enroll in a open uni, like you posted. But don't enroll, go against the rules and then complain.
