I wonder if today's Commonwealth Club broadcast was less infuriating if heard in full instead of in fragments while dashing about filling prescriptions, picking up household necessities, and buying food for the dog.

Poorly educated. I'll give you poorly educated. Yes, everyone should self educate by asking their doctors for patient guides. This is a brilliant plan and not contraindicated by the number of people who don't have doctors and the number of doctors who pull the "you shouldn't worry your pretty little head about that" shtick. ARGH. YOU try navigating the world of chronic illness for a while and then tell me again about self advocacy and how people are deluded by the media into "wanting something done" about their pain. Which, let me tell you, it is often remarkably hard to convince doctors actually exists.

The small print is, however, very probably unfair as, as I said, I did not hear the whole thing. But venting was still vital to my stress level.
