"There are things that you can do today that, years ago, there was nothing. The community today needs to know that with MRI and the current medications, the view is good"
About this Quote
MRI is the quiet star here. It’s not just a technology; it’s a new kind of proof. The scan turns invisible disease into something legible, trackable, discussable. That matters in communities shaped by misdiagnosis, minimization, and the exhausting suspicion that you’re exaggerating. When Garr says "the community today needs to know", she’s addressing the social side of illness: the knowledge gap, the fear spiral, the isolation that grows when medicine can’t name what’s happening to you.
"The view is good" is an actor’s phrasing, a line that sounds like a director’s note. It reframes prognosis as perspective. Garr is pointing to a future where treatment is less about heroic endurance and more about managing a condition with evidence and support. The intent is advocacy without theatrics: to nudge people toward earlier diagnosis, better monitoring, and the permission to believe that progress is real, even if it’s incremental.
