MDJunction to me

Greytabby"MDJunction not only gives me a chance to be understood and receive genuine sympathy..
it allows me to give it back...so few people truly comprehend chronic illness...but MDJ...allows you to meet and converse with people who do and who who care...i love MDJ.

A business friend of mine printed me 100 business cards up for free. I will carry them with me all the time and give them out. They also printed me some fliers too. I can put them in the pdoc's waiting room and other dr.'s offices I go to for all my illnesses. There are 3 Libraries near me and they have a special place for such things. My church is a good place too. I can also give some out at my AA clubhouse. I think this will help me get started doing a little advocating for MDJ.

Great ideas, Kelti!! I hadn't thought of the library. I bet lots of libraries have places for things like MDJ info just like you discovered!

That's very useful to know about!!Wink Whistling

I'm stuck inside and on the benches outside my nursing home. So I am a bit restricted to mostly online and email projects.

But there is so much to do even with only that!!

I was a bit surprised. I made a post that I felt stated a pretty important message - TO MDJ and to a few different groups. I just wanted our MDJ "family" to know what was up.

Now- it's viral on the whole internet.

I guess GOD thought it was important, too. I only expected to reach a few thousand people. But - OMG - the whole internet. I am awed!!

It's surprising how much just a few steps forward pushing our work and its important ideas can do!!

Thanks. Always all my love out to you,

.....think what they accomplished!! And it all began with only one man speaking up for what he believed!!

I am not an MD or PhD psychiatrist. In college as a mathematician and teacher, however, I did receive intensive training to teach upper level mathematics and computational science - a hard and confusing subject for most. Through my foundation, I currently advance a project for "Outreach to the 'I HATE MATH' At Risk Groups". You may also check for my mathematics & computational sciences commentary and writings on LinkedIn.

I've worked many years in the field for public health including my current time as a volunteer with the New York State Department of Health. All this does really help me to reach out and to closely "listen" to what MDJ members have to "say" about themselves and about how their lives are going.

During the years when I worked as an industrial scientist, I worked in the medical research department as a statistician and computer expert and was on the team that created the world's most widely used CAT and MRI technologies. I evaluated and then designed the software systems used for the HD imaging scanners.

I qualified for membership in MENSA's upper third in 1968 when I was 16. Mostly, it's been more trouble than it's worth. I've tried all my life to use those gifts given me to help the world. I truly hope you will feel you can always trust me and know you can contact me whenever you need to with whatever health or mental health issues or needs you have!!
