It's sad if that is the case.

My experience is the opposite though. Might have to do with not enough doctors, not enough money and the government's interest in keeping the cases down.

When I have been my sickest I always had very harsh demands on me by health care. Like this and that improvement I MUST have made until next time or they will kick me out and offer no more help. They have constantly overestimated what I could do and really drove me into the ground.

I don't want to be an impossible case but I also don't want to be told I can miraculously get all better.

Even had a nurse tell me if I thought "today" I'm better, I will wake up healed tomorrow!
