Question Why Do We Have To Do All The Work

Why do we TBI survivors have to do ALL the work to find every specialty MDs to tend to our needs?Or was it just me that had to do everything?I mean we are dealing with a banged brain, horrible symptoms, neck & back problems, suppose to no stress, rest, and emotionally keep heads up.

But I still do not know to this day understand why I had to keep searching and finding what I needed, While I suppose to be working on getting better?Well I am happy to say I got my speciality MDs on a team and I am out of the acute stage so now I should be able to really start my rehabilitation
