"diverticulitis".. Is it just me or does it appear that someone deep in the bowels (pun completely intended) of Doctorville is now inventing new and exciting ways for us to all die of some horrendous and extremely painful condition? I'm not trying to belittle anyone with such a condition, but c'mon man! How many diseases to we need to learn about that we never knew existed until we have it these days?
I just about expect any day to read the following: "Doctors have informed us and are celebrating a new, extremely painful condition that will most definitely kill you slowly and surely, but it has no name and they have no idea what causes it nor do they have the first clue how to either treat it or cure it. It's completely beyond the scope of any pain medication and no known medication shows even the slightest promise. Government officials were quick to completely deny the existence of such condition. 'It's all in your heads!' as proclaimed recently by the powers that be."
Yeah..I can see that coming. Anyone else? "Trust us", continued the government official. "Your health is more important to us than power or money!" Oh, absolutely!
I know..to the novice it may appear that I don't particularly trust our government about everything ever known or not known..
To such novices I say, YOU ARE CORRECT sirs and madams!
