nursing students?
Shame on them.
Let me see how well theyd do singing a few verses about breast cancer or colon cancer. maybe take a shot at cerebal palsey.
Actually, it ticked me off and Im going to let those people know it.
I dont look foward to having someone shove needles into my veins every 6 weeks so I can function somewhat normally.
I hope someone gives them a good smack in the head and tells them to wake up.

Allen, it wasnt meant to make you or anyone angry, and im sorry if it did.

I find it quite interesting, its not as though they are bashing MG or any other medical issue, they are simply addressing it in a matter of acting and music. I can appreciate your frustration, though.

Well, no one with MG could sing that song - it drones on so long.

I actually understand, from a teaching perspective, what they are trying to do. It's both about being creative while learning and working as teams. I honestly don't believe they are mocking the diseases, just trying to have fun learning them. And the fact that they chose less well-known diseases is a good thing.

I would bet, Allen, that they are too young to even understand why that would be offensive to someone with a disease or condition. You might think my entire book is offensive since I really go after doctors in a humorous way.

Perhaps it would be funnier for us if people with MG had done it. You know how certain groups like Norwegians, which I am one of, can make fun of themselves but when someone else does it we get ticked off?

Tyson, you don't have to apologize for sharing something you thought was funny!

I am not angry with Tyson.
He is entitled to his own opinion of the work, as well as everyone else.
I dont believe incurable diseases or conditions should be presented in anyway that finds humor in them.(any diseases) And they were laughing in the video.

Tyson, I had been on YouTube last week and found it too. Every once in awhile I get on there and see if there is anything posted for MG and thymectomy (since I had one). It's amazing what people record and post. Heck, I half way expected to find my surgery posted there (just kidding) since I was told I was the first person in the U.S. to have a thymectomy done robotically with the DaVinci Si (dual console) model. One woman has done several short videos regarding MG and her thymectomy (transsternal) to let people know what to expect.
