I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Everybody will at some point have a condition. You will, I will, everybody. It's the nature of our bodies. When you get a lump up your a**, or when a family member of your comes down with cancer, heart disease, etc, because one of them surely will, I doubt that you would appreciate the rantings of undereducated buffoons be it on or off the net.
Unconfirmed fissures? What does that mean? The publics has a right to talk flippantly about irritable bowel syndrome, collitis, chron's, cancer? That sounds remotely reasonable to you? I can't grasp what kind of pleasure you draw from that.
I ran across a kid like you last year on the net. He was mean, unreasonable, and he was treated very unkindly for his social ineptness. I found out that he had aspergers and that certainly changed how I interacted with him. If you have some kind of mental illness, than I don't want to think poorly of you. If you simply get your rocks off by being cruel, as you certainly seem to, than that's a different thing.
What you have is not a sense of humor. And it's certainly not a thick skin. People treat others how they treat themselves. I suppose that could warrant compassion in it's own right, but it's difficult.
Either way, my point is since you are making fun of symptoms that people with horrible conditions have, I have to wonder how you're going to feel about yourself when you develop disease.
And it's not like holding down a job/paying for insurance always fixes these things anyway. I have UC, which is not as bad a Crohn's but can still be miserable if untreated. My insurance (the "good" insurance plan offered at my job) did pay for most of the testing--I'll give them that--but they really failed on the treatment side of things. I was on a GREAT medicine that made me feel better than I had in years. Suddenly, that medicine because "too expensive" and it was yoinked from the formulary without warning. Now I have to take two pills three times a day, and it doesn't work nearly as well.
The point is, mine is just a minor illustration of how screwed up our country's medical system is. Didn't a beloved member of this board DIE because his insurance wouldn't pay for a transplant? Working hard at a job and paying into an insurance plan doesn't guarantee a perosn anything. If we can't care about the fate of other people, we should at least see that our own care plans might leave us high and dry if we don't do something.
Can we at least *try* a new medical plan for our country? I don't think we could hurt worse than we already do.
