Today, I venture into the ever growing realm of blog. It is quite a daunting task, sitting before a blank screen and wondering if I have anything to offer.
Ranting? Oh, I can do that. I seem to have a never ending supply of thoughts on inadequacies, incompetence and redundancy.
We'll of course have to focus on the above as they relate to others, strictly avoiding at all cost, how they may apply in our own lives.
Acknowledging that would be of no fun to anyone, and would not be useful, surely!
I especially, as a chronic pain sufferer, have an interest in all things health. While in no means an expert, I would say I have quite an extensive array of qualifications in what does and does not work for pain, the importance of staying healthy, in mind, body and soul, and how to implement healthy choices. I am constantly amazed by the health field, and the time and money wasted, by insurance, and doctors, in "cures" they know are at best bandaids, not answers, and even in the inconsistencies between multiple medical "specialist" and the lack in coordination of care given. Is there an answer to all the questions we'll probe? Possibly. It is worth putting time and effort in, considering the extreme, ever growing public, who are frustrated with the care, or lack there of, they are getting. Is it the fault of the doctors? Somewhat, yes. The fault lies in the patient, as well. Adding to that the lack of decent insurance coverage and the lack of monetary compensation for health care providers...It is a boiling pot of frustrations and aggravations. So, what can be done? How can there be improvement, and who is willing to put a foot forward, and say "I think this, would help."
Well, someone has to do it. It might as well begin with me...
We'll learn, we'll complain, we'll rant, we'll rave, and finally together, maybe even implement change through awareness. Who's game? Let's start this adventure, find some answers, some relief.
