By A.K. Whitney, Center for Health Journalism, November 11, 2019 I don’t remember the date, or even the time of year, though the medical records tell me it was 1977. I was 6. But I will always remember that day: the gloomy, wood-paneled exam room at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, the hard, high table I sat on, the doctor looming above me as he muttered about swan necks and hammers, though there were no birds or tools in sight.

Veronique Mead ·
I was a family doctor when the first symptoms of what would turn out to become a disabling chronic illness first began to arise. I didn't know about ACEs back then and even if I had, I would have thought my score was zero and that ACEs didn't apply to me. What I've learned in the 20 years since then is that my ACE score is actually a two, which increases the chances of ever being hospitalized for an autoimmune disease by 70%.

NOTE THE CITED ZOOM TIME IS CENTRAL STANDARD TIME! This is a very important accomplishment. The lack of attention to and appreciation of the lifelong physical, mental and social harms caused by child abuse and neglect by most of the medical profession is both sad and astonishing. The cited article is a magnificent work by an industrious and experienced group of medical educators. It provides a solid foundation for the introduction of this pathogenic circumstance and the methods of trauma...
