Amy, agreed! To finance the research on chronic conditions, we'd first need to come up with something to bust open the wallets of the pharma companies. And then tie it to chronic conditions. So, something like....let's see.... I know! A toothpaste that has bleach AND hydrocortisone in it! To give you the brighter smile and extra HYDRO-BOOST to get you through your busy smiling day!! (and then in small little tiny letters barely legible: "Each bottle of this overpriced goo will contribute to your love life and brilliant smile, but more importantly to the research and development fund of the AmysTired Foundation, which is taking your bucks that you obviously have no clue on how to spend and putting them into something worth while, like making doctors find a clue or two on how to treat hypopit issues without being dismissive, etc") How's that for skeptical and optimistic at the same time?? just kidding, sorta.... (Except the part about the mouthwash...seems that already exists..I kid you not. http://www.thinking-clearly.com/magic-mouthwash-new-
prescription-mouthwash-kits-launched/112556/ OK, that really is kinda pathetic...) "Worst of all, young man, you've got INDUSTRIAL DISEASE!!" - Dr. Knopfler |
It's really sad there are not doctors who focus on people's quality of life. But they are quick to come up with new doctors for people who will pay lots of $$$$ to get their services -- like the new specialists that provide treatment for women with urinary incontinence. Guess doctors are like most of society & driven by what will make them the most $$. One day, I hope to change the lack of doctors that specialize in chronic disorders. I hope you will help me !!
