Well, I don't like ANY of the politicians you mentioned. What does it say about the Dems that they couldn't pull out a candidate that could beat Bush? I also don't like Bush I. I think choosing him for VP was the biggest mistake Reagan ever made. Everyone but Jeb in that family is a disaster - paying lip service to liberty while expanding socialism in this country. Talk like a libertarian, act like Obama. Romney is responsible for the disastrous socialist healthcare reform in Massachusetts. The best combination has been Reagan + Dem congress and Clinton + Repub congress. This One party rule thing always leads us to the same place - bigger government and less liberty. end rant.
Isn't the promise of exactly that how Obama got elected? And to think... I risked my life in the Vietnam war so that STUPID FUCK, GREEDY, SIT-ON-YOUR-ASS-WATCHING-AMERICAN IDOL VOTERS could vote for that...
First of all you are terribly misinformed if you think an Oncologist is reimbursed 1million per month for a terminal patient. With regard to the dog diet...it think you may be on to something here. Dog Diet: Eat Alpo 3 times per day Go for a walk everyday While on walk shit in someones yard. Presto ...you'll live for ever.
Regarding the last statement..... are you drunk? A dog's life is shorter but one would believe their health issues would also be accelerated. Take responmsiblity for myself???????? My diet is nearly perfect, almost all natural. I work out 5 days a week and do more to take care of myself than some hack on ET (with relatives who are DRs) that makes dozens of page long posts per week. Anyone who thinks DRs are honorable and do anything close to what is in the best interest of their patients is a sheep or benefiting form the medical systems while it bankrupts everyone but you.
You've had a terrible personal experience. The cynicism and anger absolutely poor off the page when you write. My condolences.
My post wasnt entirely clear....the last few months of ones life often bill out at $1 million per month as one deals with the strokes, 24/7 care, surgeries and other nightmares that accompany the chemo that the oncologist knew was not going to work. Alpo diet... thats funny!!!! Peopel just have no idea how corrupt or incompetent the DRs in this country are.
I can not deny that and post because everyone should be furious. My father was diagnosed with cancer, the DRs told him he was terminal and going to die. The DR then proceeded to prescibe him the chemo that killed him right in front of us over the course of a year. The DR would not return any phone calls, sent us to another DR who butchered a surgery and then gave my father Michale Jackson levels of sedatives that caused i=him to be semi comatose for 3 days so he would not remember any of it. Then they billed us for a total of about $5 million, all when he had no chance of being cured, per their initial diagnosis. My brother in law was playing basketball and became dehydrated and passed out. The DRs gave him 100 times the amount of whatever they give people for that. He will probably be in a wheelchair for life, and the DRs are making money curing what they caused in the first place. These stories are not all that uncommon. What I wonder is.......why isnt anyone else mad? I can only imagine that is because DRs do these sorts of things on a daily basis?
Ok...However the VAST VAST majority of oncolisgt are not just going through the motions to paid. They are moral obigated to try everything they can to keep this person alive. Until and of course there's absolutely no hope and then it's teams job to keep the patient as comfortable as possible until the invetable comes.
I'm sorry but I can't speak to either of those cases without reading their charts. Again my condolences.
It's become a business, a greedy profit center. You are their customer and the docs will pump you with meds and chop you every which way as long as they can keep you pumping in the $$$ for their profit center.
