yea.... sky.... it makes one feel like staying as far away from the mainstream medical system as one can get.

It's a terrible battle that is costly for everyone especially people with MI. The needs of a person with MI are magnifed by the dysfunctions in the system. Warning signs go off like crazy around me when I go near a medical facility or professional. "Warning,,,,, will take 6 weeks for a rescheduling of your appointment to an undetermined date..... with a steady stream of insults and abuses to keep you busy in the meantime."

I wish there was a way to navigate the system painlessly. It becomes even more important for one to have a core belief system and 'regular people' in your life to cope with getting help.
