And you just fired up another account.

I had a hard time chopping an onion for the wife's lunch last night. My doctors have been almost entirely useless over the last three decades, dozens of them. I feel like I've been defrauded by a bunch of people only interested in making money and not their patients. When 2016 hit, doctors cut all their pain patients off opiates out of self-interest. The amount of suffering they allowed is unconscionable.

You see scientists and doctors as gods, they don't deserve that. They're wrong all the time and often they don't try at all so they don't risk their careers.

I am really sorry you've suffered like this. I certianly do not:

see scientists and doctors as gods

I'm not sure why you'd mention any of this here, but to be clear about problems you mention (without knowing the specific circumstances): the main problem is the corrupt US healthcare system. Doctors take their orders from that system. What doctors and scientists recommend about healthcare is a different disucussion, and no one sees them as gods.

On another topic: there is a philosophical discussion addressing the highest aims in life. One can aim to be a giant or a god.

Has to do with why you were kicked and particularly on my mind as I curse my awful doctors today.

Best wishes regarding the doctors, or perhaps also getting another doctor.

Carswell is critical of several users in the chat and recently kicked/banned one of them from the 'subscribed' channel, immediately thereafter spamming it with trucker protest information. He wanted to dictate what would be in the chat box. It meant that there was no chatting for much of that afternoon; just the Carswell spam and the rare comment. This (kind of idiocy) is how Saidit remains stagnant or will die. EDIT: the spam is thereafter saved as 'chat snippets' in s/StandUpWindsor .

getting another doctor

I've tried nearly all the doctors within driving distance at this point. I just wish I could find someone better than me, but I can't. To be fair, that's a tall order.

spamming it with trucker protest information

That's the hottest shit going on right now. Watching Canucks claw themselves out of the tyranny they let happen.
