This is just for a bit of shadenfreude.... 'journalist' working for govt-owned MSM rag wailing about having through suffer through multiple wrong diagnosis of her shingles (took 4 separate visits to the clinics to finally get the shingles diagnosis).
Of course she totally missed the big point that all the first few doctors who were wrong were still certain of their various diagnosis. She is exhibiting that 'learnt helplessness', any medical-related issue, one HAS to turn to acknowledged 'experts'... no self-treatment, no real attempt at self-diagnosis, no personal small stock of OTC anti-virals to help slow the outbreak.
Of course, ironies of irony, she was also one of the main mouthpieces demonizing VIM when told to do so earlier on... Now? a low-dose therapy would have nipped this shingles outbreak in the bud.
