I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who did and I’ve brought this up at parties before.

    It’s a microcosm of the American healthcare system. It’s cheaper and safer to let children perform surgery with tweezers.

        You know how when someone lives in a country and is severely negatively affected by its policies, they feel justified in talking about it?

        I know it’s very strange that humans talk about things that are actively harming them, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out someday.

          Could be that’s just an American thing really. Where I’m from, everyone just tries to carry on with their life knowing that talking about it won’t really do much.

            Where you come from, you’re probably not thousands of dollars in debt and were totally failed by what is supposed to be one of the top hospitals in the world to the point that the patient advocate got me a full refund including the AirBnB.

            Me, not so much.

            So yeah, I think I’ll talk about how the for-profit system has totally failed me when I am dealing with two chronic illnesses. Sorry you don’t like it. Too fucking bad for you.

              Chill out homie; I’m not attacking you. I empathize with your problems, and you’re well within your rights to talk about your problems. I was only drawing comparisons is all.

              Best of luck with your situation 🤞
