A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

That there’s an interesting trend of hyperfixating on the US in threads like this about problems that apply much more broadly across the globe.

I have to admit: This is quite a silly thing to say. Essentially you are criticizing people for talking about their own experience rather than experiences they know little or nothing about. When others have offered broader perspectives, such as my mention that my healthcare experiences in other countries has been significantly better, you double down.

This leads me to conclude you don't really have a point to make.

Have you considered working on fostering a greater degree of introspection in your interactions with other people? I feel it would serve you well.

Good bye.
