It is very unfair to pick on lawyers. They have contributed greatly to medical research. Just last week, the NIH announced plans to incorporate 250 attorneys into existing trials to offset the rat shortage.

Honey bees all fly exactly the same routes, time after time, day after day, from a source of sweetness, back to the hive and back to the same source of sweetness again. They all have strictly planned, precise roles to play, always the same, and they all follow the same series of flight plans, over and over. Except for a very, very few, who fly off in a totally new direction, utterly alone, and discover the next source of food that the hive needs to survive. The worker bees, the Queen Bee, all do the same actions, generation after generation. They would be extinct were it not for the bees who fly off in a totally different direction. The species cannot do without them. Rick is a Master of Different Direction Exploration. |

Gosh, Bob, I don't know what to say. I've always been like that. Or at least since I got a cell phone...

You've made your big entry, we know you are there, so why don't you take time to get to know us all.
We know a bit about you, you've got a diagnosis you don't like, and you are angry about it, you've taken time to get yourself informed to some degree, and at the moment you seem as though you want to bite some heads off. There are a lot of fighters here, fighting the daily battle with PD and the side-effects of medications, fighting to keep good information coming, fighting a system in which the patient is secondary to the industry that has grown up around him/her, fighting old and invalid stereotyping of PwP, fighting a lot of battles on behalf of PwP everywhere..... What I don't understand is why you are picking a fight with us, or maybe you are just vulnerable to fearing you will be the stereotype...... We are breaking the mould, once and for all, whether you have PD or not, you could be helping us....... you've obviously got the fire power It's up to you. Lindy |

Jak-
Your energy is needed, for sure. One of the problems is that too many PWP come out of that first neuro appointment confused but confident that in five years everything will be cool. By the time they figure out that they have been sold a pacifier, they aren't as strong as they were and energy that might have been used for shouting is required for breathing. You are ahead of the curve on that and there is enough anger and cynicism lying around here to keep you pumped. I like your Nietzche (sp?) quote. A similar theme that appeals to me but that I have been scolded for before is from a movie (Pappilon I think) where the protagonist has been banished to the horrors of an island leper colony from which there is no return and no contact with the outside. Forcing him onto the beach, the ship beats a hasty retreat as the lepers approach. Turned out that the lepers were a damn sight more human than the rest of society as they welcomed him and helped him make the change to the new reality. Welcome to the colony Jak.

It might be a guy thing. Maybe not. Some males get to know each other by fighting. In Rugby you felt alive after being on the end of a big hit and getting up. These are the lines previous to my quote at the bottom of my posts.
War and courage have done more great things than charity. Not your sympathy, but your bravery hath hitherto saved the victims. "What is good?" ye ask. To be brave is good. Let the little girls say: "To be good is what is pretty, and at the same time touching." Its not personal Lindy. Im not fighting here. I have also never posted while angry. Im fact I have not been angry re PD. Not Once. I dont feel vulnerable. In fact I feel better than ever. What you write is true where you start There are a lot of fighters here, I will help. But I take a holistic view and maybe people will find it out there. What you will get though is honesty. Its all that is worthwhile in the end. If an honest person is wrong his / her honesty will redeem the situation and lead to the truth.......eventually. Jak Quote:
