One had mentioned,
"If I knew anyone with cancer, my head would be
shaved instantly"
Hm - I wonder why this thought had never crossed my mind. Maybe because my lack of faith in organizations such as the MS Society of Canada is less than point zero... I mean really - what are they doing? My mom has been trying for years and years and years and years and... fuckin' years to be a lab rat for the MS Society, not having to pay to get medicines tested on her, or shit - even pay and just have some hope that "this might work!" or "I want to help this research team."
Application after application sent to the MS Society for their "new breakthrough clinical study - MS patients needed." We would all hope and wait anxiously that mom could get in and get helped...
Rejected.
"Dear Rebecca Kelly,(or ever)
We regret to inform you that you do not meet
the needs of our clinical study at this time"
REALLY?!
She has MS, you are the MS SOCIETY OF CANADA - and you are rejecting PEOPLE who SUFFER with MS because they dont meet certain qualitifications?!?!
-fuck you
REALLY?!?!
Is she too sick? Too many symptoms? Too high-risk? We all hope that answer is a forever, "no" - but what kind of message are you sending these people? You ask of us to donate, donate, donate and we do; MS Walk yearly, raising money for a better cause... a cause we have yet to benefit from after 10+ years of trying to.
-fuck you
This entry is a little heavy, but Im not sorry. I find organizations like this to be a waste of time and I wish for the life of me that I didn't. Some things just never change and it's a fucking shame. We live in a world of false information and rude awakenings; politics run our doctors who control our medicines and just want more money for less and less. Everyone's wanting the bigger buck at the cost of anything and anyone.
You're guily of it & I'm guilty of it.
"It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes..."
Be the change you wish to see in the world, right?
