Okay, here's my take on the 45 seconds. 'IT WILL DO NOTHING FOR THE CAUSE".
It sounded like an infomercial. You cannot explain neuropathy (and they did NOT did they?) in 45 seconds. They spoke about the Association, but I bet that not one person (who does not have PN), no one went "what the heck is neuropathy anyway??".
Too much time spent on sampling wine, and not enough explaining how painful this condition actually is. To me it was a waste of 45 seconds.
And absolutely not the fault of the lovely lady who was on camera. She was terrific. It simply was not enough time, and certainly not enough information. No one spoke about what it actually was, the various causes, the treatments, etc. I mean, if they wanted to reach millions, they could have had an expert on camera, giving the various causes and latest discoveries on neuropathies.
But on a funnier note, did any of you see the guy flashing the TEE SHIRT, behind Al and the Neuropathy lady??
This guy is from the meetings once a month at the CBS Studios.
We've met him several times. I was watching the tv and I went "Oh, I know that guy, he goes to all the meetings. Now that was funny.
I gather we just have to wait and hope that a 20/20 or a 60 minutes does a 15 minute piece on Neuropathy, and has physicians on it to speak about it.
NOW THAT WILL GET SOME PEOPLE THINKING!!!!
