One word I have absolutely no tolerance/respect for is LAWSUIT as it's way overused/abused in modern society. People always wanna point fingers and expect a payout when anybody with the least bit of common/practical sense clearly knows the risks associated with things they consume or live around every day. My MIL is a prime example claiming they 'didn't know cigarette smoking could be harmful until it was printed on the label' when she started many decades ago. I must assume some are too dense to realize the chronic cough, tar in mucus, shortness of breath, increased blood pressure, etc. just doesn't spell things out as you puff along and only realize something is out of sorts when a company admits the habit can be harmful to your health, lmao.
I will give an example of exactly what happened to me just under 3 years ago. I somehow came into contact with a fungus, breathed it in and it started taking a very serious toll on my system. Started having issue after issue that couldn't be medically diagnosed/treated due to the nature of the fungal infection. Long story short, it ended up developing into fungal meningitis, causing 2 small strokes, total hearing loss, loss of balance, memory, taste/smell, facial paralyzation, etc. The first neurologist just didn't take things serious enough to look further into things and stated all of those debilitating/worsening side effects was likely post stroke depression, lmaoa. My family basically told him I'm far from being depressed and asked how in the hell could he come up with a simple excuse instead of trying to figure out what was happening. Had he taken my case more seriously and ordered a lumbar puncture it might could've been found much sooner than it was and might not have left me permanently deaf. Of course some family members did mention they thought I clearly had a medical malpractice suit if I chose to go that route, but after reading about what many other meningitis survivors had dealt with it's a known fact that what I had is extremely hard to diagnose and treat as it's a misunderstood condition and is quite often overlooked until severe damage is done. Of course most of society would be looking for a large payout, but in reality what does that really accomplish? No amount of money will restore good health, hearing, etc. and pretty much is always just a waste of time, energy and effort. My point is simply that most looking to sue are just looking for a handout instead of actually earning something and I have no respect for it at all.
