Roi Shternin
Of living experience
Of managing low resources under conditions of uncertainty
in navigating complex systems
in operation while heaving substantially lower energy than healthy people
Of our own illnesses
Of advocating
Of Building communities and bridges
Of falling and getting up over and over again
Of hope.
We are healthcare.
Pay us as experts
Treat us as experts
Put us in decision-making positions.
This article was written from the heart, after a lot of frustration being a Patient keynote spekaer.
When inviting patients to speak, consult or participate, it's not a pity; its an honor, an obligation, and the moral and right thing to do not involve us
Do not create pitty slots for patient speakers; embrace our knowledge and contribution.

Roi Shternin is a patient advocate, entrepreneur, author, and keynote speaker who has dedicated his career to empowering individuals and communities and revolutionizing healthcare. After falling ill and spending almost a decade immobilized, Roi was misdiagnosed for years and felt ignored by his doctors. He decided to take matters into his own hands and, after numerous hours of research and studying his symptoms, he diagnosed himself with a not-so-rare condition, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Since then, he has been passionate about promoting mental and physical health and giving patients their voice and control back by starting his medical revolution.
