I guess I've been a bit too subtle about what's been going on with me--and the whole locked-up-at-Harborview thing has kept some friends away ...
Clearly, it is past time to state clearly and loudly, that I am NOT bipolar. Never was.
Now, where does that leave Stephen N and the other Fred Lind Manor staff who have been announcing this supposed "diagnosis" far and wide? Forget about ethics. Forget about HIPAA.

Please remember your ethics, if you wish to repeat, in writing, for publication of course, that I am not bipolar, you need to attribute that information to this blog, The Assertive Cancer Patient, and also adding a link to this post would be a nice touch. Thanks.
This entire experience/drama has made me realize, yet again, the power of words. In this case, the power of the label, BIPOLAR, when flung about willy nilly.
Yes another soapbox for The Assertive Cancer Patient
