    I do but I have a rare disease that medical science still isn’t sure how to treat, so I got a few science degrees so I can read studies and make suggestions to my doctors. I’m basically my own doctor now, I just need someone to write the prescriptions and tell me if I’m being an idiot.

      Oh hey, my dad did the same thing for his super rare disease. He actually pitched an experimental surgery to his doctor, and it worked extremely well and is now an option for others.
