She spent much of a lifetime going from doctor to doctor only to discover that the treatment that would change her life had been available to her all the time - If only she'd known - if only someone had told her. 

In Sick to Death!filmmaker Maggie Hadleigh-West exposes her own disturbing, yet determined, thirty-year struggle to regain her spiraling health. After seeing hundreds of doctors who either disregarded her symptoms, misdiagnosed or under treated her, Maggie discovers that her life-long thyroid problem was a fully understood medical issue as early as 1914, yet, she says, it’s been obscured by systemic medical corruption, pharmaceutical greed and physician negligence, leaving more than 750 million people sick and suffering world-wide.

Morphmom Moments with Maggie Hadleigh-West by morphmom

Although this show is specifically about thyroid disease, it unmasks much broader problems for all of us seeking help for physical problems. We put our faith in the medical doctors who have spent a lot of time and money being trained to treat and cure our diseases and medical conditions. And the doctors in turn trust their training and the drugs that are supposed to help their patients. Too often people are misdiagnosed and drugs are prescribed that do not deliver on their promise. Maggie Hadleigh-West shows us the depth of this problem as she reveals her 30 year search for relief from an array of symptoms that pointed to thyroid disease. When she finally found the right doctor, he knew the cause of her symptoms just by looking at her, which he then confirmed with the appropriate tests. Please join us Thursday for Maggie's story of systemic medical corruption, pharmaceutical greed and physician negligence, leaving more than 750 million people suffering world-wide with thyroid disease.

You may be familiar with Tom's long-standard theory that the pharmaceutical companies are a scam. Maggie has a similar theory, though the onus for her was thyroid disease rather than the news.
