Shocked by aging process

Posted by seniormiz @seniormiz, Jan 25 8:54am

My fingernails and toenails stopped growing and just keep breaking off. My hair is falling out. My memory is not as sharp and sometimes I feel a little woozy. I hate this. I want my body and my senses back.

@myoga There’s no monetary profit in it.

If you are in the United States it is much more complex than that. We need to understand that big pharma, special interest groups,. lobbyists and the insurance industry call the shots and have ruined our healthcare here. Doctors are working under ridiculous pressure to see more and more patient with less and less time for each. It is important to understand that doctors want to care for patients but are hamstrung by these issues. Further, there medical systems that call themselves non profits are operating on what is important to them ....the bottom line $$$. It is easy to blame the doctors who are on the front lines. They are the low hanging fruit. The real work, the hardest work is to tackle systems change

@gravity3 I think that’s what I was saying…every one of the special interest groups you cite are profit motivated. There’s very little in our world that isn’t motivated by money. In effort to be succinct I failed to make that clear. Best wishes.
