I guess I just don't understand the level of anger. Remember getting all worked up about things that we can't control only creates more pain. No matter how angry we get or how much we talk about this, it's not going to change how much air time is given. Tiger creates viewers. Not to say that RSD isn't as important. I also don't agree that RSD is being kept a "secret" It's not a secret, there's just limited information out there about specifically how this can be treated. They don't know. That's why it's trial and error.

My motto is to worry about things that I have control over or I can change. If I can't change it or have control, it's not worth the increased pain.

RSD is what it is. I have less pain because I don't worry about things I cannot change.
