Understanding Is Not Required

Today I had the last of three MRIs done for the medical people I deal with and I was very aware of the clash between their world view and mine. I had the MRIs done on the recommendation of my most recent neurologist who wants to re-diagnose me since my current condition does not fit with my existing diagnosis of cerebellar degeneration, especially since my condition has not gotten progressively worse. There is a very strong effort to fit my condition into some known and well defined category. The clash comes in because I am quite comfortable living with the "unknown and unknowable". My world is not neat and well defined - and I am good with that. Understanding is not required.
