finding a viable solution to chronic pain

It is difficult to watch a man suffer- to watch his whole life become effected by a pain that just won't go away. medicine has only ascerbated the problem and brought on new issues that require attention of their own- and always, at the root (no pun intended) is the pain that has caused it all. He does not sleep (i believe it is going on four months now), he doesn't smile- he begins to talk of dying as the only solution to the problem. doctors have become pez dispensers of medicines. they drawl blood and take pictures.. but NOTHING is done!!! this is not psychological.. it is agreed that there is significant damage. yet, it is more important for the doctors to drive sports cars and live in large homes than for them to do what doctors used to do...HELP PEOPLE. without insurance a person is less than nothing. without insurance no one will touch you. i am disgusted. i am sad. i pray to God there is a change for the better.. because apparently, it will take a miracle for the human race to decide that we are not animals.

i don't mean to sound bitter, but i'm angry. i'm sure that there are decent doctors out there.. but unfortunately we haven't found one.

Re: finding a viable solution to chronic pain

Re: finding a viable solution to chronic pain

correct. although, he has taken a new position which (in a few months) will provide blue cross and blue shield. that is, if he can make it that long. it is very frustrating. we have spent so much money. this man is a master martial artist.. has lived his entire life right.. and suffers every day. life is what it is, and bad things happen to good people all the time.. we all know this.. the point is that our health industry is in dire need of a major overhaul. what is greatness without education or health?
