A True Man of Science

I am thankful our health is good. Oh sure, physical life in deteriorating bodies does have its aches and pains, discomforts, and inconveniences, but as Karen's and my path into Medicare grows longer, so far it's been wonderfully boring. And in life, we'll take boring over multiple other options. 

However, even in the "normal" world of ageing, the current medical reality sometimes requires us to be our own advocates and specialists; the ones who set medical parameters and tell the Dr., or specialist, or Physician's Assistant what we are or aren't willing to do and be common sense when common sense seems lacking in the world of medical care, medical billing, and medical insurance. 

Don't get me wrong. I am very aware of medical realities in remote and rural areas of the world. I am THANKFUL I do not have to travel on foot, through the jungle five days, taking all the food I need for the ten day round trip and week on site, negotiating risk filled terrain and situations hoping to be seen by a medical team who comes to the region once a year. The situations and realities we've been exposed to through our experience in global missions are heart breaking and mind numbing. Not that there aren't heartbreaking medical stories here in our own circles but we can call an ambulance and be at a medical facility in a matter of minutes twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Medical facilities that have clean sheets, running water, highly trained staff, and ample medical supplies. Not everyone in the world is so blessed. 

That being said, this project, "A True Man of Science" approaches our medical reality with tongue in cheek, though we're moving in the direction of less tongue and more cheek.

And yes, there could be a "True Woman of Science" version as well. 

We're all in this together.
