But it's eaiser to keep people in the dark, catch them by surprise and take everything they own in medical bills.
Yeah, even if you have an advocate, the trick is trying to find someone to pay attention. Good luck with your sister in law. I hope you can find a doc who will listen to you guys and give you the answers you need regarding her meds and medical situation .

I don't agree with the medical fields philosophy. They believe injury and illness are flaws in need of correction. I would say it is perfectly clear these things are part of evolution. It is human arrogance and stupidity which would cause us to think we know better than the universe. Maybe the medical field attempts to help, but are they in fact hurting?

I just talked with my State Representative and he called DSHS (State services) about my case. He called me back and said "You were right it has to go to the State Legislation!" There are no codes for my rare disease so I don't qualify for anything, yet the state pay's for my medication. I can't even get a "Fair Hearing" because most state social services don't have a code for my disease so an attorney would have nothing to go in court with. They go back into Session this Monday.
As far as my sister in-law that will be brought up as well.

When the cat kneads you, it hurts your skin, but is actually a form of affection.

Lives cannot be saved, only prolonged. In the case of medicine, prolonged at what expense? Pain is relieved at what expense? Carelessness is increased, at what expense?

well, with the universe being gawd/mother of all creation...dont you think that this the exact time and place we are supposed to be right now?

Think what you want, its not actually possible to defy reality.

I'm like a cat. Leave out some food, give me a cat flap, and i'll bring you fresh meat. I keep myself immaculately clean. I am human enough to leave the furniture alone. I teach myself (I taught myself how to use the bathroom).

I don't see how me being cat-like is a 'medical problem'. I can be a perfectly good member of society, if society adds the structure. No pills needed.

I don't want to take the damn pills. I want to be myself. I don't care if the dogs complain. Why transform everyone into dogs? It's crazy nazi shit.
