What Important Life Lesson Thyroid Disease Taught You
I've had signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism since I was 13. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 52. What's happened to me and others is terrible.
This is the time of the Thyroid War. All of us must fight the various corruption and in many ways--and all that we can. It's going to take each one of us! Corrupt medical societies, corrupt pharmaceutical companies, the corrupt FDA, corrupt politicians, corrupt health insurance companies, way too many corrupt doctors, the corruption of wrong information being fed to us--and the corruption of being treated like a two-dimensional stick-figure by most of the medical industry.
How Has This Lesson Changed Your Life?
I'm more pro-fighter than I was. For examaple, it only takes just minutes to dash off a few emails countering specific corruption that'll make someone down the line pee their pants, using a few well-placed, memorable phrases. This is the age of the Internet!
Doing so, I feel less used and abused by the medical industry and less lonely every time I find others willing to fight. When I fight, I'm helping others and I'm helping me!
Fighting specific corruption puts me more into the drivers seat because I'm doing something about it.
Look at what others with different illnesses have done: What gets things accomplished, for them?
Advice
- Politicians must be flooded with emails informing them of medical corruption. They know corruption exists in many ways and by many factors. But when we are specific, when we DEMAND hard-core legislative investigations, reasons why and when politicos know it will save taxpayer money, then they can go ahead and sponsor or support investigative legislation of various kinds--and then gloat with the results before the adoring public. They love that!
- When we know what's wrong, it's then that we can fix it. We have to give politicians particular tools--reasons--to proceed. It must save money.
