As someone with numerous debilitating diseases myself; the whole thing just doesn't ring very true with me. It was a 6 year process of being moved from specialist to specialist and every test you can imagine being run to understand what was wrong with me. During that whole time almost everyone I encountered was very sympathetic and understanding. It is also difficult as a patient not to be jaded. There are "patients" out there trying to scam the system that just want some doctor to sign a disability claim so they can collect a check without getting a job. I've met numerous individuals where this is the case. Then I see the doctors and they keep telling me that I should consider going on disability or find a less stressful line of work, because of my health. They tell me that it is only a matter of time before things get so bad I will no longer be able to make a choice. I have a friend that has terminal cancer who plans to work until he dies. There are plenty of desk jobs; if this guy can sit up playing video games and such; he can likely hold down a job.
