The side effects are worse than her condition, which would be completely cured with one transplant. It pisses me off the injustice that a 69 years old who has worked all her life and paid taxes has to spent the rest of her life enduring the terrible effects of medication. As if there is not enough hardship that goes with aging, but also to endure needlessly a condition that could be fixed, but wont be because you are not deemed to be a cost-effective member of society.
heya mysterious,
I agree that is totally unfair but most things are against the elderly people, it needs to be changed..!!
As for me there are way to many things that i'd like to change, but not one has popped into my head yet, so will keep thinking about it.
