You took the words right out of my mouth. It's
a sad commentary on our communities (scientific, governmental,
medical, and societal) that only via profit do we
help people. In a world that has dissected the human
genome, sent humans to the moon, flies at 5 times
the speed of sound, makes personal computers with the power
to run businesses, communicates worldwide in seconds, and
saves the lives of people with such debilitating
ailments as AIDS, hemophilia, heart disease, cancer
of many forms, and muscular degeneration cannot ...
no - WILL not come to our assistance. It's obscene.
Just an example. Someone here has found that drinking inordinate
amounts of water helps dissipate pain and might
actually kill the beast. THIS IS A CHEMICAL SOLUTION!!
WHY DOES IT WORK??? WHERE ARE THE DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS?
WHERE IS THE GOVERNMENT?? There is NO excuse for this!!
NONE!!
Hope we find the cure - we'll have to.
(unless a billionaire gets the plague!)
I am disgusted with medicine and science.
Pain free days for you all -
Bob
