Words.....words.....words

Doctors come up with terms like "MPD"... NOT people with MPD themselves. What some call a spiritual state of being, many call a disorder. If a body has more than one spirit/soul occupying it... what do you think it would look like to someone who only has one? LIKE MPD!

I said it before... on this one, put the book down for a second. Doctors don't understand spiritual manifestations any more than the rest of the world. Whatever they can't understand, they come up with a name for and promptly dub it a disease, disorder, or mutation.

Having MPD and being a Were are identical! Some MPD folk integrate.... some Weres integrate. A human being is just another kind of animal! Just because a person has another person as a Were side doesn't make them any less Were. In MPD lingo, "Shifting" is called "Switching"... it's all the same! The only difference is that MPD carries a stigma and Wereism carries awe.

This is so true.

Doctors tend to practice lowest common denominator medicine: what applies to most patients, most of the time.

That way they don't have to stray far from their own zones of comfort...which leaves "atypical" patients distinctly uncomfortable.

Plus, until very recently, they've been actively discouraged (in med school) to leave the spiritual dimension out of their considerations.
