My family––and it may be generational, for all I know––had a highly selective approach to privacy. Matters of which I'm intensely private, they were wide-open about; others matters, which I see as potentially helpful to others––like one's experience of a medical situation (without being a bore! LOL)––they were as guarded about as could be. I'll be honest; it wasn't until now and my managing my PN that I've come to realize how a little judicious sharing of medical information might be of immense help to others.
