Why I Fear The Doctor More Than The Disease

• Mithered"
  Annoyance following a humiliating and irrelevant meeting with “ologist” who questions the right to exist or reproduce.
  
  
• "Addled"
  Temporary and understandable state of confusion. Often misdiagnosed and wrongly medicated.
  
  
• "Cajoled"
  Encouragement ,often lengthy, to reassure and steer a pHD in the direction of something that will benefit them.
  
  
• "Manipulation"
  Steering a pHD ,who is easily led ,in a way that will not benefit hem.
  
  
• "pHDs"
  People with Huntington’s Disease.
  
  
• "Committee"
  Group of about ten people who take the credit for the work of about three people.
  
  
• "Serial Committee Member"
  Person (doctors and others ) whose own insecurities cause them to need a constituency to look down on. More than one of them can clog up the machinery of an otherwise effective agency.
  
  
• “Advantaged in HD“
  Anyone who is free to walk away no matter how difficult that could be.
  
  
• “Disadvantaged in HD“
  Those with the disease or at risk who cannot walk away.
  
  
• Specialist
  Dedicated and highly qualified doctor who has extra training and expertise in their chosen specialty.
  
  
• "Ologist"
  The doctor or specialist whose expertise is of no real use because they did not listen to the pHD and family or their bias caused them to misread the situation.
