Have had horrible foot problems for the past month. On the mend, but it’s been a perfect example again of how our ideas about medicine divvy the body up into (billable) bits, and farm you off to a specialist on each bit. Unfortunately nearly always medical problems are about how all the bits work together. There are no doctors for that. So I do that bit myself, figuring out the connections. The problem had nothing to do with my feet. The same problem is impacting my eyesight.
