Here doctors do harm to people with MI by rejecting them further and blaming them for their health. We are known here as "those kind of people." 
I wish you well with your career. Thankfully you are not studying in the UK.  |
I am so sorry to hear this
. Now, I am mad
.. this does not make any sense. After all it I am lucky to be in the USA for the sake of my own treatment opportunities.
I got a better picture why so many on this discussion board is from UK.
After all, peer support is evidence based and shown as effective as part of the treatment.
We are all in the same boat..
