Guns are a problem?

[worldtalker]

This looks to be more of a problem.
God Bless

Medical mistakes kill roughly 400,000 Americans every year, but guns are the problem they want you to worry about!

If you are paranoid like I am, you may realize a lot of those *mistakes* are not mistakes, but rather a way euthanize the poor and other undesirables in the population...just like when they started closing all the state run mental hospitals, most of the crazies committed suicide, a lot of the others ended up in for profit prisons...the rest ? Well they shoot up schools, shipyards, and movie theaters..call it collateral damage I guess..mistakes my @$$.

Many years ago I spoke with my buddies wife about my grandmothers diabetes . Seems she ( HAD ) to have a couple toes removed because of circulation problems . Her first question was , what insurance does she have ? I said , what does that have to do with my question ? She said , if you have GOOD insurance , the doctors can save the toes . If she is on medicare , it's CHEAPER for the hospital to just remove the toes . I'm sure you know the rest of the conversation . IF you have a loved one in a hospital , question EVERYTHING that does NOT seem right ......

You are right on target. I was in a little Texas town with an infection(gunshot wound not treated-OK quit laughing) in two toes. Then they discovered I had diabetes and wanted to take my foot off. I had no insurance. Came back to San Antonio, got insurance and my two toes were removed(infection in bone by then and not treatable), but foot was saved. $62,500 and insurance picked it up. They were pretty efficient when the money was there...

went thru that with my mom.................... But, she was 94 with insurance! She was bleeding inside, got weak, fell and broke her leg. They fixed the leg fine, then did nothing for the bleeding, except give her more blood. When she got tired, and went to Hospice, then finally bled to death, they started wanting to do an autopsy to see if she had been abused. Finally told em that any abuse was done by the docs and nurses that were supposed to be treating her. And, I would file a suit against the doc, if they persisted. They were out to get as much money from the insurance as they could, and when she had enough, they were unhappy!!!!!!!

"Milking Medicaid" killed my mother in law. She was scheduled for release after she nearly died from an infection obtained in the operating room of the Arkansas Heart Hospital during her bypass surgery.

Was to be released on Wednesday to another facility, her nurse forced her to take a double dose of "potassium" which shut down her kidneys. They tried to get her really sick before putting her on dialysis, but the doc waited too long and she died.

Sorry for your loss Mr. Chadeaux. Lost my Dad in '71 due to Hosp staff admitting to reusing dirty needles to drain the fluid from his arthritic knees and the resulting staph infection.

I just read a story about a man that was to have a leg amputated. After he was put out, the doctor pulled away the man's coverings and saw the man had gotten a sharpie and wrote," Not this one" on his good leg.
