Comments on: The Concept of “Patientude” http://epablog.wordpress.com/2007/08/08/the-concept-of-patientude/ A blog about patient empowerment, patient advocacy, medical consumerism, and tools patients can use to help them navigate and survive the dysfunction of the American Health Care System.

After reading your "About Trisha" page, I feel we are certainly akin! I have been suffering from some "mystery illness" for many years now, fighting for a diagnosis, but willing to settle for just treatment, had anything reasonable been offered. I've had some similar experiences with the medical community, ranging from a botched bone marrow biopsy to a blood disorder that was known about for over a year, but failed mentioning in all my visits with my doctor. The medical mistakes, mishaps, and out-an-out negligence in my care during these past few years has been astonishing. However, I'm sad to say that it seems to be par for the course for far too many patients, as I am sure you are aware. I feel you have a lot of information to offer to many folks that visit my blog and, with your permission, I would like to add you to my blogroll.
