Doctors behaving badly…
8 Comments
We all have had at least one experience when a doctor either behaved badly or treated us in a way we didn’t feel we deserved.
But what do you do when the experience with a doctor takes a sharper turn?
What if he doesn’t believe your symptoms or validate your experience?
What if he doesn’t take into account your pain before beginning an in-office procedure?
What can you do?

The Deadly Drug Shortage — An Escalating Crisis
13 Comments
It’s not just “what if”. The drug shortage has become so severe that you can even go to an index to find your drug and its probable shortage.
Even the US Library of Medicine has cited the continuing “Drug Shortage Crisis in the United States”.
The New York Times talks about “Drug Shortages Forcing Hard Decisions on Rationing Treatments.”
Fortune Magazines has the headline: “The U.S. has a drug shortage — and people are dying.”
And the Wall Street Journal cites “U.S. Drug Shortages Frustrate Doctors, Patients.”

I've been a professional copywriter for over 35 years. I also had epilepsy for decades. My mission is advocacy; to increase education, awareness and funding for epilepsy research. Together, we can make a huge difference. If not changing the world, at least helping each other, with wisdom, compassion and sharing.
