Failure to Rescue...
"I know of no other disease, potentially curable, that can lead to permanent disability and death. A disease doctors don't want to treat and one that they think is fine to spend years on "watchful waiting." I also don't understand why doctors think it is morally acceptable not to work to understand a disease in their expertise or complain that it is too hard, leaving the patient to their own devices to solve the problem on their own. I wish that we were treated by oncologists, because I think there would be different attitude." -Deb
Deb said it best. What Deb doesn't get into is the fact that many of us will go beyond broke trying to find help in far away states. Help that, if the doctor's took the time to learn, should be available within driving distance. If I as layman, can pick up a medical journal, or find one on google and read and understand what they are doing is wrong, what is their problem?
We should never have to become doctor, lawyer, lab tech, and insurance rep to get help, especially when we are already fighting an uphill battle. I tell you this, had it not been for my wife and our church, I would be gone. She had to fight to get me to surgery with everyone when I had given up because I couldn't fight anymore. The church helped get us to where we needed to go and would have to stay for awhile.
Now, I am still not well. I manage on a day to day, and hour to hour bases. One has to wonder how well I could have done had the doctors not failed to rescue me in a timely manner.
