Like I just said in another thread, there seems to be a total disconnect between the academic interest in this illness and the clinic.

I too had this feeling (with some neurologists) that I would probably be much more interesting to them if I was a lab-rat or test-tube. (And definitely much less bothersome).

Quite ironically, many times I was treated with much more compassion and human respect by scientists working on MG that I consulted, than by physicians.
