One thing I’ve discovered when posting about this subject….. I’m not alone. In fact, I was actually surprised how many people cannot abide the infatuation with black and white striped animals eminating from certain parts of the NET community (incuding certain doctors).
The main issue I have within the NET communiity is that it’s based on 1940s thinking and in the days when science and statistics were not advanced as they both are today. Certain countries, organisations and individuals focus on this more than others, perhaps they’re just out of date or quite like being part of the ‘cult of zebra’. Maybe they just want to wind me up, some do come to my site with that purpose – they don’t last long. It never works as I always double my efforts in response.
Thankfully some advocate organisations, healthcare professionals and patients are just as vocal as me on the subject (….well almost!).
If you’ve not read my campaigns on this subject. I included a few below. Happy reading!
