Medical Woes

YIKES .

Glad to hear you're on the mend, any sort of fluid in the lungs is bad, very bad .

People DIE in Hospitals ! .

That's my lame assed excuse for not going unless there's a WAHHmbulance involved .

OTOH, I've survived several 'fatal' incidents, mostly because of well trained and dedicated Doctors .

Just like mechanics, there are good and bad ones .

-DO- follow the post op and PT regimen ! .

Same goes for ANY profession. Only trouble with doctors is by the time you need one, you don't have time to check out their history of successes and failures!!!

Post Doctors, Good And Bad

This is so hm but you always insist they're all bad when I know I'd not be here now but for several very talented and good hearted Doctors .

I too know stories about bad Doctors but they're not all bad .

I remember having two tubes (hoses) in my chest cavity after by-pass surgery in 1991. It hurt like a son of a BEECH when they pulled them out. Yeeeow!

One day at a time!

Did I say ALL doctors are bad? Why do you continuously read into what I say? Of course they aren't all bad, some good some bad. My comment is when you hit the ER, you do not have time to weed out the good ones from the bad ones.

Showing up at the ER means YOU GET WHAT YOU GET!!!

Talking Be Honest For A Change

"d I say ALL doctors are bad? Why do you continuously read into what I say? Of course they aren't all bad, some good some bad. My comment is when you hit the ER, you do not have time to weed out the good ones from the bad ones.

Yes, you did say just that hm, several times over .

? I wonder of you've ever been to an ER when you weren't in need of medical help? .

It -can- be very entertaining, also sobering, if one has compassion, a thing you keep bragging about not having .
