I get it. In my experience with the medial business and especially with the "doctors" in my area this is how it would play out:
- They ask a series of questions trying to determine if the issues are a risk to myself or others.
- If it's serious enough they may do a series of the wrong scans.
- They prescribe me some drugs and send me on my way.
Even if by some bizarre chance I had real neurologists and lets say they find something, then what? Statistically my chances of mortality go up the moment I enter the OR and that is even before they attempt to fix something. If the issue is not getting worse I prefer to accept the risk rather than compounding it by letting people confidently act like they know what they are doing. Now if some day it starts getting worse and especially if it gets in the way of normal daily life then I might consider it but even then I would likely leave the country to get better treatment and reduced risk of mortality. In the mean time I keep an eye on the sub-set of people with the same condition the numbers appear to be growing and see how it plays out for them. As of now I suspect it will play out like tinnitus; in that, it will be loosely studied but nobody will know what to do with it or ever fully understand it.
I know that I sound jaded. I am. That train has left the station. I've been abused by the medical business far too long. In my unwavering opinion the entire thing needs to be completely wiped and re-created by entirely different people but that is a 42 volume set of books for another day.
