If you're functioning, what are people supposed to do?

If you're suffering from a medical issue that's for a medical professional, not your coworker/neighbor

Like, not minimizing the condition, or the experience of the individual. But a society can only hope to react to issues if they perceive the issue. If you are functioning and achieving in society, there are no signals.

Further, it wouldn't be appropriate for your coworker or similar to get involved in your healthcare.

I agree with the sentiment - co-workers should not be knowledgeable of one's health requirements.

The problem is that there is no option to break from the race. Even if we are wheezy, we must run yet.
