I nearly did. My life became a horror show for several years over serious medical mismanagement of a medical condition that could have been treated quite easily. It has taken me years to recover and only a few months ago did I finally locate a good doctor who is familiar with my very common condition and who is up to date on the newest treatments and drugs. As a result of medical mismanagement, I was evicted illegally from my apartment while being mistreated medically and personally in a bad hospital, lost my driver's license for a year and a half (confiscated for health reasons, not suspended), and lost half my hearing. It turned me into an old woman and I aged 10 years in one year. My recovery has been a hard fight and is still continuing. A simple common condition was turned into a catastrophic illness.
