The doctors seemed to speak so fast when I did not know the terminology, and I couldn&#8217;t remember most of what they said when the appointment was over. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the terminology scared me a bit, like \u201cmorbidity and mortality,\u201d so I searched a lot for the meaning of the terms that I did not understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Access to research papers often gave me the language I needed to refine my search terms, and gave me clues to follow. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes I found the topics of research unfathomable\u2014why would any researcher waste money and effort on researching a particular question that makes no sense to me as a patient? Or what was the rationale for the condescending tone towards patients that I seemed to detect? Or, is it valid to do a literature search back to the 1950s when the treatment in those days is now irrelevant?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And most of all, how could I, as a patient, gain access to the full paper? I decided early on that I could not afford to pay for them. If I purchased access to two papers a day on only 300 days a year it would cost me almost $20K per year. It will surprise no one that I don\u2019t have that extra money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we get closer to &#8220;patient-centered care&#8221; and &#8220;shared decision making&#8221; this unequal access to knowledge makes less and less sense. Decisions are now being made with patients. If patients are going to be partners on research teams or sitting at the table when health policy decisions are made, how can we do this from a position of strength? How can we put our experiential knowledge into context and make good use of it if we can\u2019t see the basic research to inform our opinions? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If we can\u2019t find a way to learn what we need to know, how we can be strong and confident? Patients don\u2019t want to sound na\u00efve or stupid when asked for their viewpoints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an active and informed patient I have &#8220;graduated&#8221; and no longer concentrate on my own disease area. The patient voice and patient inclusion in research and governance is a major interest of patients and family members around the world and here again we have the same problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patient engagement and patient and public involvement is a growing area of research and it is \u201call about us,\u201d yet often the research sits behind a paywall. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is all about patients and for the most part is being done and published without our participation, or behind closed doors. How can this be fair?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Annette McKinnon<\/strong> is a patient with chronic disease.
