description This paper examines the intersection of Crip Time and Disability Justice within the Spanish medical-industrial complex, uncovering the systemic barriers faced by disabled individuals, particularly those with chronic pain and fatigue. It argues for a paradigm shift toward more inclusive and sustainable healthcare temporalities that prioritize care, interdependence, and accessibility over efficiency and productivity. Building on the history of healthcare activism in Spain, with a focus on movements such as Marea Blanca, the paper integrates the principles of Disability Justice and Crip Theory to critique the rigid temporal structures imposed by medical institutions. These structures marginalize disabled individuals by enforcing normative timelines that fail to accommodate their lived experiences. The chapter highlights the necessity of rethinking healthcare systems to embrace temporalities that sustain well-being and challenge the austerity-driven logic of the Medical Industrial Complex. This paper analyzes Spanish healthcare settings and draws on previous experiments in Disability Justice activism for citizens living with chronic pain or chronic fatigue to envision a future of healthcare grounded in justice and sustainability. It advocates for flexible, patient-centered care models that respect and adapt to diverse temporalities. This approach proposes a shift in public healthcare policies toward long-term collective flourishing and equity.
