There was a thread a while ago asking about physicians that were members here and I wish I could find it. In any event not so much about the Docs but I'm really surprised there isn't more action among nurses and other health care workers. There are plenty of nurses with MS! Maybe if this section had a name change to include all health care professionals we would see more participation?
The other thing I have suspected as was mentioned in the thread I referred to up top is that the nature of this disease seems to increase the emotional reactions of people. Maybe health care workers are either too busy working or aren't in the mood to be bashed on a daily basis?
I get tired of the numerous pharm conspiracy theories, the "my doctor/nurse is incompetent" etc. that seem to have a never ending number of pile-on replies admonishing the health care profession. After I read the editor's note as a follow up to the article about Jack Osbourne in People Magazine I was embarrassed to think of the over the top correspondence they must have received insisting we aren't going to die from freaking MS.
I know all providers are NOT equal but I truly believe it is the minority that are self-serving, interested more in the money and not up to date with current evidence based practice. MS is a tough disease! Unfortunately this is science not math and there just aren't many answers or ways to help us.
