...who faces any type of health issue to inform themselves on their specific health situation , and to pay no attention to any chatter about anyone else's condition.

When trump's spokesperson claimed his edema was no big deal, was 'normal', and that he is in the best of health, I immediately worried for people who might then believe that signs of their own edema is nothing to be concerned about and that they might not take the appropriate steps to care for their health.

Each individual's various health concerns are different, no one should be thinking that another person's situation is the same as theirs just because they share a similar issue, and no one should be concerned about, or pay any attention to, what anyone says about anyone else's condition. We should only care about what our doctors say about our own conditions.
