Can money cure the symptoms of Addison’s disease?
We asked one sufferer from this grave disease who is receiving an additional $2.6 million in post-tax funds on Monday if she was feeling better.
She said she had already received a million dollars and that wasn't enough. The chronic trauma that caused her grave illness was still present, and in fact she was even less interested in the wellbeing of anyone other than herself.
A bystander described her as "an angry dog with a bone." This individual who was familiar with dogs with bones said they rarely die.
"More bones don't remediate bad pets or Addison disease," another expert said. "The folklore around receiving post-tax cash is pretty accurate. It rarely cures any pathology."
Some wealthy experts comment that cash infusions of over a billion dollars over a short term can be quite pleasant. But smaller amounts, like the total balance of over $4.5 million received by the poor sufferer above, are chump change.
"If someone with Addison's disease can't balance a checkbook, more money won't change a thing," another expert on dogs and bones said. "They won't suddenly be able to play piano or tell a joke or hold a job, and their adrenal gland won't stop producing toxic levels of, say, cortisol."
