a quarter of the people I know
are slowly dying.
don't get me wrong,
we'll live average length lives;
longer than healthy people
twenty years ago.
spent slowly dying.
because the doctors
don't read the research;
insisting that their one lecture
(at best)
is the totality
of what an illness can be
and the researchers
don't listen to their subjects,
never checking with them
to make sure findings are correct.
That could only introduce bias.
so what can you really do,
except die at them,
very slowly.
until your degenerative symptoms,
get bad enough for them to notice,
that you have lost two decades already,
out of three.
every specialist: "not our problem"
until you're unable
to drag yourself to them
anymore
