      I wish I got my first doctor's license revoked. He neglected to properly evaluate my lab work for 4 months, gave me the wrong medication, told me I had to take it if I wanted more blood work, and refused to change his mind even when I showed him the risks based on family history.

      Idk if you live in the UK or somewhere outside the US or California, but I reported him to Medical Board for negligence, and they condoned it. My insurance also recently told me they also condone what he did. I had to escalate my claim to DMHS because I just recently found out that I am someone who may potentially have cancer whose treatment was essentially delayed for a significant period of time. It took me another 4 months to get diagnosed with cancer. So almost a year.

        Hi Michael,
        I’m going though similar circumstances. I have diabetes,thyroid problems, stage four kidney disease, and a life long blood disorder. I have a good wife and son who have helped me through everything. I love art and everything that surrounds it. I hope you have a supportive people around, it makes life go easier. I think your art is great! Keep it up. Bad and good seems to come in waves. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for best. My peace be able to find you.

            @Michael-Angelo-Go I’m so glad you’re seeking alternative medical advise! Unfortunately, conventional medicine often falls short of providing true healing. Not to say it can’t be life saving at times, but there are so many other options anymore. I’ve been heading more and more about the use of medicinal mushrooms for cancer treatment. Just another idea to look into.

            And please lean into your art! I truly believe that art can be healing for both the mind and body. Do whatever you can to maintain hope and peace and happiness in your life.

            Sending prayers and well wishes your way! I loved what so many other people were saying about trials making us stronger. I truly believe that. Try to focus on what you’re learning from this, and how it will eventually make you stronger. Sometimes the things that seem hardest to go through are the things that give is a big push in the direction of our true life’s calling.
