Default Can we change the way things are?

Yesterday, looking that the table of contents of the NEJM I came across this article-

http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms1207114

I was thinking what do we want to change in MG? How realistic is it that we will succeed? How do we give MG the right face and make physician and society see it as it really is?

There are two ways in my opinion-

One is to reach the public (with movies, books etc).
The other is to reach those physicians who take care of patients with MG and the way to do that is through medical journals and professional conferences.

I was thinking-what if we add up all the stories of patients whose diagnosis was delayed for many years, combine it with medical data (so it will be accepted to a serious journal) and then publish it as a case series?

I will be glad to write it (and hopefully find a neurologist who will be ready to be a co-author on this).

What do you think?
