Re:Subject: HEALTH: Doctors Kill More People than Guns & Traffic Accidents

January 4, 2003

I have stories that could be pro and con towards MDs. My mom was in the hospital for back surgery that was nessassary. We even got the opinion of a few chiroprator's and Physical Therapist's, none that were of the same circle. This choice came only after nearly 5 years of therapy that didn't seem to work. Her back was only getting worse. This was also before I became a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner. Begrudgingly as a family discussed it and in the end said that the surgery looked like her best hope. She went in and the MD was one who used to do surgeries for famous football and other sports greats. Our confidence was high and thought this would be a good thing. We did all the reseach and it looked optimal. The idiot MD forgot to give her the pre-op antibiotics! The procedure went great and her back is much better but what happened directly after the surgery was a nightmare! She ended up with a staph infection that is a hospital grade staph! She had to have her back cut open with a 'wick' in the incision! This was to allow it all to drain. The pocket in her back was large enough I would have been able to put my fist in there! Ok sorry, gross but true! She was looking at that if it spread that it could kill her. I think my dad and I fired the doctor a half a dozen times and my mom who was paniced would hire him back! It later came out that nearly 20 or more other recent cases decided to file a class action suit against this MD. This was because he had done a similar thing to others!

On the other hand the team that worked with me because my crhone's had gotten so out of control I was looking at death, they were great and saved my life! So it all depends on the HUMAN that you hire. I am basically to the point that as long as I watch what I eat, you wouldn't know I have Crhone's!

And the thing of killing bacteria and germs is not logical. We would just create a whole other problem. So I think that focusing on ourselves and watching what we ingest and make sure you are eating healthy and being as sanitary as possiable, you will greatly reduce you risks!It is our basic right to be a happy person, happy family, and eventually a happy world. That should be our goal.

Distruction of your neighbor is distruction of yourself.

Take care of you and yours~
