“Es wird stets die Idee vermittelt, dass Personen, die geistig erkrankt sind, leiden würden. Dabei ist Verrücktheit doch auch ein Ausweg: Wenn die Umstände schlecht sind, kann sich der Verrückte bessere vorstellen.”
“The idea is always conveyed that persons who are mentally ill would suffer. But madness is also a way out: when the circumstances are bad, the madman can imagine better ones.”
« L'idée est toujours véhiculée que les personnes atteintes de maladie mentale souffriraient. Mais la folie est aussi une issue : quand les circonstances sont mauvaises, le fou peut en imaginer de meilleures.

Non-24
I have one main #problem in my life. It is #unsolvable, at least with what resources I have. It has destroyed my life, entirely. It's called Non-24 sleep-wake rhythm disorder. I have had it for as long as I can remember. I have had it for longer than it has been a #diagnosis. And I can prove it. I have #data going back thirty years.
McMaster University Research: No lab required - New technology can diagnose infections in minutes using a handheld device similar to a blood-glucose monitor
Their proof-of-concept research, published today in the journal Nature Chemistry, specifically describes the test's effectiveness in diagnosing urinary tract infections from real clinical samples. The researchers are adapting the test to detect other forms of bacteria and for the rapid diagnosis of viruses, including COVID-19. They also plan to test its viability for detecting markers of cancer.
Existing practice typically requires sending samples to laboratories to be cultured (at quite a cost), a process that can take days. Providing immediate results to patients can reduce the spread of infection, improve patients' quality of life and simplify the work of busy clinicians.

The idea of visiting the doctor's office with symptoms of an illness and leaving with a scientifically confirmed diagnosis is much closer to reality because of new technology developed by researchers at McMaster University.
