then there is my mother who was "sick" all of her life and on medications, both prescription and OTC constantly. she was a slave to her job because she could not ever be without the insurance. she lived in constant fear of not being well enough to work and her fears were coming true the last years of her life, missing more and more work. one day she could not go to work. a week later she went into the hospital. the next day she was dead. she was 61.
she never had a chance to get well because she was always convinced that drugs were the way to go. the tv always told the truth and doctors walked on water. boy, was she ever wrong.
i DO blame. i blame greedy people preying on the ignorant and fearful. and i blame my mom for not being smart enough to figure it out in 60 years. i was on the same road and, by the grace of god, i turned around and he led me a different way.
