I agree! we had A LOT of problems 30 years ago, but then we revered MDs as Gods! Even the nurses had to stand up and forfeit their chairs if an MD came on the floor. Didnt matter how busy she was. We didnt think of questioning the man about why or fighting back when it made us feel worse. You never heard about folks dying unless you fought your way thru the legal, medical talk in the journals that they used to review each others work. Now with the internet, 4G cell phones, and instant alerts, even while you are driving, we know instantly when something happens. We are encouraged to protect ourselves from authority, whether its the cops, or the MDs or the bankers.

You would think child abductions are on the rise, no? well, there are much less child abductions now than in many decades, but because of the slant on the media we think that at any minute someone is going to jump out of a dark van, swipe our child and we never see them again. With the Amber alerts, streaming videos, and security cameras on every corner we know who a bank robber is before he can hide the money.

You MUST be your own advocate. You MUST research what you are given. what you are dxd with. When you are medicated, or incapacitated you must have an advocate with you. That can repeat what you were told or verify the bad treatment you received.

I sometimes want to buy a compound way high in the woods, surround myself with folks who run it, and we can make our own meds, grow our own food, care for each others needs, and not be taken advantage of by bankers, doctors, lawyers, pervs, and fast talkers. Anyone want to join camp MS? What state should we place it in? not too hot please!
