CHRISSY-
I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND I
WILL KEEP THEM IN MY PRAYERS. WAY BACK WHEN..GEEZ ITS BEEN A WHILE AGO, BUT
I WAS AN LPN. ALOT OF PATIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO LOOSE WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY.
THE EXTRA POUNDS CAN CAUSE BREATHING PROBLEMS DURING SURGERY (WITH THE
ANESTHESIA) MAINLY, THIS IS RELATED TO CARDIAC SURGERIES. IM SURE WEIGHT IS
AN ISSUE WITH LOTS OF OTHER TYPES OF SURGERIES TOO, BUT SOME OF US HAVE
THYROID PROBLEMS, HORMONAL PROBLEMS AND THE POUNDS JUST DONT GO AWAY, NO
MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY. GIVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST DEALING WITH
DOCTORS, IM SURE THE DOCTOR DIDNT ADDRESS THE WEIGHT PROBLEM IN A KIND, AND
SINCERE WAY. IT SHOULD BE A LAW THAT DOCTORS MUST HAVE A KIND, LOVING, AND
HUMANE DEMEANOR BEFORE GETTING A LICENSE TO PRACTICE MEDICINE. HERE IN WEST
VIRGINIA WE HAVE A MAJOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE CRISIS, AS THE DOCTORS
ARE PAYING ASTRONOMICAL INSURANCE FEES. WEST VIRGINIA CAN NOT ATTRACT
INTELLIGENT, HIGHLY TRAINED DOCTORS BECAUSE OF MOST OF THE STATE IS RURAL.
SO WE END UP WITH THE MEDICAL SCHOOL FLUNKIES, AND QUACKS. ANY WAY I AM ONLY
RAMBLING NOW SO I WILL CUT THIS OFF...I WILL PRAY FOR ALL OF US INCLUDING
YOUR FRIENDS CHRISSY!
