As a collective group, worldwide active medical patients have many hours/days/weeks & months worth of experience, not just in general practice, but throughout various hospital systems, both private & public. We've all taken similar footsteps.
The sum of this experience is immeasurable and priceless. Not only to the continue to carry a global medical system onto better consumer results, but to the millions of us around the world - we are invaluable to each other. We all understand the pain, the struggle and the victory of hearing two golden words: Remission & Cure. We understand (misunderstanding) the reaction of friends & family to the news that our bodies or minds may be failing or requiring treatment.
We have felt the stares and the often misguided (but well meaning questions and) comments we've all received from various people in our lives, that often leave us feeling very alone and sad.
We also know how it feels to be judged as incapable or without control of our lives, when many of us (with the right medications) can continue a normal and productive contribution to society and family.
We need to change the tide and use this experience to impact other patients, to give hope and offer kind words of encouragement, when we know how it feels.
