Hey buddy, it's called a FAMILY PRACTITIONER Ior something like that) ok 
Dude that really sucks. I know that's not a very good sympathetic statement, how about this. "DAMN DID YOU BEAT HIS *** GOOD BRO? YOU GO BOY WITH YOUR BAD SELF"
It's amazing I work for a lawfirm. I guess that's why they love me, cuz I'm SO unpredictable (when I'm not sleeping)....

First. Dilo I'm very sad to hear about your father. Everyone of my grandparents died as a result of a medical error. Whether it was a misdiagnosis or just plain mistake. My dad, who fortunately is still alive, was diagnosed with allegies and was being treated for over 1 year for allergies, until he started coughing up blood and they then realized that it was lung cancer. Yes those stats are true and I'm personally quite ashamed. However, one must also look at the other side. How many people would have died without doctors. Most of the rules and concepts that I practice today are significantly different than what I had learned in school. Why? The body didn't change, but our knowledge did. I remember a professor stating in class one time that by the time we take the final exam, some of the info is already outdated! The body is extremely complex. I personally have 12 years of college and I only know a portion of what I specialize in let alone other areas. We are only human, but we have come forth to do the very best that we can to try to help. It takes a significant amount of time, money, stress, and long hours. Believe me, no doc wants to injury or kill anyone, but at least we have the courage to step up to the plate and do our best to try to help.

sorry SD, didn't mean to generalize and say I hate all doctors...just the ones that mis-diagnose you, almost kill you, then pay off your lawyer so your 21 years old can never work again and can't collect any damages because of his corrupt azz.

The more you talk about it the more pissed I get at whoever your doctor and lawyer were.

IK, no way do I take offence to it. Dilo's stats are true. Actually I think that their higher. I read in the JAMA mag once that the same amount of people die EVERYDAY from med errors as 2 fully loaded 747 jumbo jet crashes. It's fuked up big time. I take absolutely no offence what so ever and you most certainly need not apologize. I did just have a patient of mine die. It wasn't because of me though. She was killed in an auto accident here in Pittsburgh. The burgh guys may have heard it on the news. She was the teenager that goes to CanonMac. Bums me out.

My Mom was diagnosed with IBS(irritle bowel syndrome), then after 6 months of it getting worse, they said "OH...You Have Gallstones". While being in the hospital to get her gallbladder removed, they came to her room and said..."Geez, ya know, your gallbladder is fine, but you have in-operable PANCREATIC Cancer!!!" She passed away 4 months and a day before my Dad!! FUKING DOCTORS!!! If they would have caught EITHER of these EARLIER......[:@][:@]
