It's Monday, everybody's favourite day! Lets start the week off with something a little easier going than "How are health conditions categorised". Unfortunately, this post is also a bit dry, but tomorrow's will be better, I promise.
I need to address the use of capital letters in my last post: Scientifically and grammatically, it was wrong. You may have noticed that I (usually) didn't use capital letters for diseases. This was deliberate.
My Health myself is all about us gaining control and asserting mastery over our health conditions. Wherever possible it should be we who control the condition, not the condition that controls us. By removing the capital letter, I wanted to demonstrate that we don't extend to health conditions the same courtesy and respect that we accord the people living with said conditions.
Like all good rules, however, there are exceptions. I kept the capital where the name of the disease was an acronym (like COPD), the first word of a sentence, or the name of the individual who discovered it.
This is neither correct nor is it good writing, but it was my small act of defiance and rebellion against our health conditions and, short of a major controversy, it is the method I will use in future posts. In professional circumstances, of course, I will continue to do the right thing.
So what is today's take home message?
Don't show your LTC respect, show it who really owns the capital.
Until tomorrow, take care everyone
