> Patients should always advocate for their own care. This includes researching their own condition

I believe you do not fully appreciate how long and exhausting this is especially when sick...

Nothing he stated suggests this. Not giving a nod to how difficult it is doesn't mean people don't care. Unfortunately it is still true, we all have to advocate for our own care and pay attention to ourselves. The fact that this negatively affects the people who need the most care and attention is a harrowing part of humanity we often gloss over.
