Hi John
Thanks for making us aware of this wonderful idea. I'm not sure how well this will translate in the real world.
In my experience, the medical care system in this country has badly deteriorated over the last 2 or 3 decades. Most of the providers are still highly trained, motivated, and hard working. The problem is, no surprise, money now rules everything.
Back in the day, most physicians were self employed, and were able to do things their way. Now, almost all work for some group, often owned by a hospital system, and have to answer to bosses (hospital administrators or group bureaucrats, insurance companies, various levels of governments, etc) They are forced to see x number of patients per hour lest they lose their jobs.
Many have become angry and dissatisfied.
Throw in a maddening, time consuming disease like peripheral neuropathy, which is often impossible to find a cause for, and even harder to treat in most cases, and you have the makings of a disaster.
I am confident that some day there will be a cure and/or effective treatment. The problem, especially for us older patients, is how long we have to wait.
In the meantime, we have to keep trying different treatments and tricks, and keep up a good attitude.
