MS and job prospects

September 10, 2009Jon Brooks Comments Off

Our friend the Wheelchair Kamikaze, who has written so eloquently about his experience with the insurance companies, objects to a study that finds that “multiple sclerosis (MS) delivers a massive blow to your job prospects as well as your health.”

Let me save the research world some hard work and money. I’ve done some non-MS related research of my own, and these are my findings:

* Flying over the handlebars of a fast-moving bicycle has a positive impact on the necessity of stitches.
* Mixing copious amounts of vodka, beer, and bourbon has a negative impact on the ability to not vomit.
* Telling the state trooper who pulled you over for speeding that the reason you were going so fast is “because I was pressing really hard on the gas pedal” has a negative influence on the mood of the state trooper.
* The amount of time spent dating pathological liars is directly proportional to the level of your desire to stick your head in a toilet.

Oh, and one piece of research that is MS related:

* Having MS sucks.

Where do I sign up for some research funding?…
