[[File:Forgotten Plague.jpeg|400px|thumb|right]] '''''Forgotten Plague''''' is a 2015 documentary film about [[Ryan Prior]], an [[ME/CFS]] patient and journalist and his journey to understand the disease.<ref>{{Citation | last = Castillo | first = Nicole | title = Forgotten Plague | url =https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4223204/| publisher = Electric Puzzle Productions|access-date=2021-04-24 | last2 = Prior | first2 = Ryan}}</ref> == Plot == Ryan Prior’s life imploded October 22, 2006, when he was struck down by a disease that dozens of doctors were powerless to diagnose, let alone treat. Against great odds, he becomes a reporter and ventures to tell the story of his suffering and improbable recovery. He is shocked that millions globally remain sidelined by the same disease, many bedridden for decades. Forgotten Plague is a journey into the hidden world of [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] ([[chronic fatigue syndrome]]). It is a chilling tale of our medical system’s failures in addressing many chronic, complex diseases. Yet it is also a riveting story of science’s remarkable ability to transform medicine and improve human life itself.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.forgottenplague.com/ | title = Forgotten Plague | last = | first = | date = |website=|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2018-08-10}}</ref> '''IMDB Page:''' An afflicted journalist embarks on a quest to find out why the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] and medical system have neglected his disease and left millions sidelined from life. <ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4223204/ | title = Forgotten Plague | last = Prior | first = Ryan | last2 = Castillo | first2 = Nicole | date = 2015 | website = IMDB|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref> ==Interviews in documentary== *[[David Tuller]] - New York Times, UC Berkeley *[[Ian Lipkin]], MD - Columbia University *[[Jose Montoya]], MD - Stanford University *[[Anthony Komaroff]], MD - Harvard University *[[Michael VanElzakker]], PhD - Tufts University *[[Leonard Jason]], PhD - DePaul University *Lori Chapo-Kroger, RN - Pandora Org *[[Derek Enlander]], MD - Mt.

However, most driven medical students will pursue research fellowships to set themselves up for success in competitive residency programs. We have launched a highly competitive fellowship in neuro-immune medicine for students from across the nation or the world to study with leaders in the field. The goal of [[The Blue Ribbon Fellowship]] is to foster a new generation of physicians devoted to solving complex neuro-immune diseases.<ref>{{Cite news | url=http://theblueribbonfoundation.org/blue-ribbon-fellowship/ | title = Blue Ribbon Fellowship | date = 2013-11-07|work=The Blue Ribbon Foundation|access-date=2018-08-10|language=en-US}}</ref> == Online presence == *[https://www.facebook.com/CFSDocumentary Facebook] *[http://www.forgottenplague.com/ Website] *[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJMJsysciXerH2X8F6rcVgw YouTube] ==See also== *[[I Remember Me]] *[[Unrest]] *[[Voices from the Shadows]] ==Learn more== *2016, [http://www.thewishdish.com/telling-story-forgotten-plague-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/ Telling the Story of a Forgotten Plague: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome] == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Film]]
