here's a jerk!
Hey,
No you r not a jerk--can understand ur reaction as well as someone else being afraid of having ALS. Two years b4 my diagnosis I started fearing mad cow was my problem. Symptoms then were the same. When William Shatner says his character Denny Crane has mad cow I can only think you dress yourself, walk w/o falling, etc--what a claim. :shock:
A real jerk is the one we had in Ky. Don't remember his name or know why he came up w/ scam but he was a dj & claimed he had ALS. Guess he had a neuro & Dr that backed up claims. He participated in local walks to d'feat, got tons of publicity & money for foundation run by him & his mom. After 2-3 years folks noticed he wasn't any diff. from when well. He's in jail now unless out 4 appeal.
On Dr. who say it's patiet's responsiability to know disease better than Dr. since he's too busy. Duh! Why does he think patients come to him, paying big bucks!:evil::twisted:
