At first I thought it was 100% a joke - and I’m certain there’s an element of that in here but WOW…

I am SO GLAD the majority of my medical issues are in the rear view now. I do not think there’s a chance in hell to get quality care within the next 10 years; in fact I’m pretty sure that’s the case in many ways already.

I had never cared much about politics (still don’t in many ways, as the left and the right wings are attached to the same bird).

I DO know that had I gotten sober today, I would have been given an opioid like methadone or buprenorphine to remain on for life, little if any headshrinking on how to actually LIVE sober, and likely had my feelings catered to so I could live in a bubble. Thank goodness there were psychiatrists that held my feet to the fire, forced me to grow up, and helped me become a responsible, productive member of society. I have no clue as to their politics, but I do know they weren’t “politically correct” and would have scoffed at the current way of doing things. None of them would have been corporate. I sit nowhere on the political beam as I only vote locally - and haven’t trusted “Big ANYTHING” in decades. I’m sad to report my faith in medicine, as good as it’s been to me, has been shattered. The decline in the world is sad to me. The decline in medicine sickens me, but not enough to go get seen today. Maybe it’s desired by whoever pushes this “white savior” agenda.
