Some people seem completely ignorant to the fact that while modern medicine is amazing in a lot of ways-there are still any number of conditions that medical science has yet to properly identify, understand or treat effectively. Many conditions people can develop at any time with no prior warning and may have to live as well as they can with it for the rest of their lives. I have no idea why people would think someone would *want* to be affected by illness of any type and why they can't offer compassion instead of derision for being affected in such a way.
And some like me have life-threatening allergic reactions to medications to treat these conditions, so have no medical treatment options at all.
