Honestly I don't know who is worse, you who reads an abstract on WebMD and decides he has X condition or my mother who is utterly convinced I didn't need to go to the oral surgeon to have a rotted tooth extracted; that it could be healed with crystals.  Good thing I went to culinary and not medical school.  Otherwise I'd be dealing with hypochondriac boomers when I wasn't dealing moronic new ager boomers who are convinced that their charlatan of the week is superior to my education and science.

As for misery, there are various causes for misery not all of them economic, sociological or pathological.  I'd venture to say being a loser in general is pretty miserable.  Fortunately I'll not have to experience that as I'm not a loser--I went out and got mines.  I dare say that you should have done the same, perhaps then you'd be far less miserable now.  Mind you I don't have the White  and Straight Privileges you have.

what the fuck?!

Tara...my boomer mother, though a RN, believes a large amount of ridiculous new agey pseudo-medicine.  She is a particular kind of moron that seems more common in Prophet generations than in generations with other archetypes.  As for people believing in charlatans over persons with actual competency that is a human condition.

In my lifetime I've been taken in by a few charlatans and been one myself.
