Subject: Re: {{{{ I Give Up }}}} [OT]

On the medical profession that is. I am so tired of paying exhorbitant premiums and receiving sub standard care from uncaring DR's and their associates. It is appalling the level of objectivity [lack of compassion, or concern] that exists in the medical profession.

I have decided to enjoy my life to the fullest without the benefit of intervention by individuals that seem to wish to talk me out of my disease. Enough is enough. For $600.00 monthly I will take my chances.


Physician heal thyself! It's just not worth the aggravation anymore. Poop.

Bastards, all of them ranking up their with the unscrupulous individuals that bandy the law about saying that black is white, and vice versa. At best they are only delaying the inevitable. For example, a friend of mine has traveled 120 mile round trip on three seperate ocassions for a scheduled appointment to confirm his need for a dual transplant[Spleen, and Liver]. Each time he attempted to do so the physician is nowhere to be found. Great huh? Bet he would still get billed if it were the other way round.

Sorry to be so negative, however from here on out it is my intent to die of natural causes and wish no more potions, nor techno - voodoo pap and pablum half measures from these morons.

Hope that none of you are in the same space that I am currently, however it is better this way. No more! Finally at peace and wish to stay that way. Acceptance for me must be complete, or all is lost. On the other hand if I am in pain, just give me enough narcotics to be comfortable and that will be fine. At least they are good for something. LOL.

God bless you all and please don't try this at home.

Respectfully:

William

[> I have learned the HARD way.... -- Perry, 11:26:18 04/26/02 Fri (netcache-1112.public.svc.webtv.net/209.240.222.32)

that there are more BAD docs out there than there are GOOD. You need to become very pro-active in your choice of doctors - after all THEY are working for YOU. I have fired MANY docs that treated me in the way you describe - that is NOT acceptable so bye byeeeeeeee........and THEN i went out and found the GOOD ones myself. There ARE some good ones out there but ya gotta find them - not easy but possible.......

THANK YOU [KATY, PERRY]; ONE AND ALL FOR THE SUPPORT THAT I RECEIVE HERE. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES THAT HAVE EVER SHOWN SUPPORT FOR ME AND MY DISEASES. FORTUNATELY MOST OF THEM ARE BETWEEN MY EARS AND AFTER DOING MUCH READING IN SOME INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS OF THE BIBLE, I HAVE FINALLY REALIZED THAT MY SUFFERING IS MINISCULE IN COMPARISON TO OTHERS.

I WOULD RATHER USE MY ENERGIES TO CONCENTRATE ON MY MENATL WELL BEING THAN THE PHYSICAL. AFTER ALL FOR MANY YEARS THAT WAS ONE AREA THAT WAS NEGLECTED. WELL ACTUALLY BOTH. LOL. GRANTED I HAVE BAD DAYS, HOWEVER IT IS MORE OF A STATE OF MIND THAN ANYTHING ELSE. WHO KNOWS, PERHAPS IT IS JUST AGE AND THE EFFECTS OF A LIFE FULL BLOWN.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR SHARING WITH ME YOUR LOVE, FAITH AND SUPPORT. WITHOUT THESE THINGS I WOULD HAVE SURELY PERISHED MANY MONTHS AGO, HOWEVER WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE END FOR ME WAS ACTUALLY THE BEGINING OF A WHOLE NEW LIFE.

I HAVE BECOME A NEW PERSON IN CHRIST AND THAT HAS BEEN THE RENEWAL OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND SUSTAINING.

WELL, TONIGHT THE WIFE AND I WILL ENJOY A MOVIE AND PERHAPS DINNER. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN MANY MONTHS, AND I AM LOOKIG FORWARD TO IT. EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF FORGOING MY WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY MEET.

THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT HAS BEEN MISSING FROM OUR LIVES, BALANCE. BACK TO FININSING MY READING OF ACTS, AND THEN OFF TO THE EVENING.

THANK YOU PERRY FOR YOUR TAKE ON MY QUANDARY.

GOD BLESS ONE AND ALL.
AGAPE.

WILLIAM

I certainly understand these feelings. After 3 times treating, and the horrific sides, (to become detected again) I'm in NO hurry to treat a fourth time. Not with these drugs anyways.

One day at a time, William. That's all any of us have, right? Do something really nice for yourself today. Something that you maybe haven't done for awhile.

prayers and hugs coming your way.

Susan

I hear your frustration. I guess I have been one lucky lady in that my docs have always given me what I needed. Listen to Perry and go doctor shopping. You never know when you may need one. Keep looking, you'll find a fit for you, I'm sure.
