She's Not Going To Have The Surgery Afterall

I read a book called The Treatment Trap that says that if you have insurance to cover it doctors will do lots of procedures just to get the insurance payment.

Isn't that the truth!! I do believe that whole heartingly! We're all nothing but a dollar sign or a social security number. We mean nothing to doctors or nurses except a paycheck. It's so sad and is the reason behind the saying, money is the root of all evil.

[b]Hi Jo.... please forgive me for taking so long to respond back to you! Sometimes I wonder if I'm coming or going anymore. Seriously. I've had to make a list of all the things that's going on with myself and my parents so I could keep up. Whew! Ok, here's the update and boy what an update.... mom has tried to find another doctor to take her case but so far nobody wants to take on a case that another doctor has started. Her original doctor moved to Tenn and the new one who took this doctors place, mom isn't happy with him at all because he acted a bit arrogant and made mom feel like she wasn't even in the room because he talked mostly with the nurses and not her so she's tried to find another but as I said, nobody wants to take a case where another doctor had started which makes no sense at all because she has to have the stints so there's going to always be a doctor who did it....? Makes no sense at all. However, another nurse from the same office told mom about another doctor that worked there so mom is going to give him a chance by going in and talking to him and see how he is and take it from there. Apparently it's really important for her to get these two stints out so it has to happen really soon. I say the sooner the better so we can get that off of our minds so we can all deal with other matters that's going on which is plenty enough. I'll have to post another discussion to explain it all and I will soon. Love and hugs to you dear Jo![/b]

I'm soo sorry y'all are having such a time. Seems it's just one thing after another. gOOD DOCTORS ARE HARD TO FIND. lOOKS LIKE THE ONE THAT MOVED TO TN. WOULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUR MOM FIXED UP W/ANOTHER DR. BEFORE HE MOVED. I think that was negilent on his part. People are really something anymore. I wish her the very best & that u find a good solution to your mom's problems soon. Hapyy weekend to u. love ya!

Hi Stephcjh! You are right about that. Some things are best left the way they are. We honestly think this doctor is just trying to make a name for himself and mom is just a pawn for him to do so. Well, it's not his mother so why should he be overly concerned? I'm SO glad she decided not to go through with it that I feel much lighter now that it's to the point that I almost feel like I can fly! lol

LOL Thanks carmelanirel! I wish I had your confidence! But thanks for caring though!

I only have confidence because I am not involved, if it was my loved one, I would have reacted like you did if not worse..But I am so happy it is turning out okay for your mom...:)

Awwwww thank you stary! You better believe it! lol A HUGE sigh of relief! A HUGE sigh of relief! But it couldn't have happened without all of you, my mylot friends, who've prayed for her! I can't thank you all enough!!

Hugs for you and your Mom...!!!

Thanks gabs, I'm elated! Not sure if I spelled that correctly but I'm sure you know just what I mean!

Thank you whiteheather! I know I'm right happy! Yay!! lol

Hi AmbiePam! It IS such a huge relief! I can't describe the feeling! It's like holding my breath without realizing it then to hear that she's not going to go through with it and I let go of the air I was holding in! It's like a HUGE weight had been lifted off of my shoulders! Thanks so much for caring and praying!!

You bet! It's like this huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders! Whew! Things are so much better between mom and I and I want to spend all the time I can with her before her time here on earth is no more so not having this surgery lets me do just that! I couldn't be more happier!

Oh you better believe it jillhill! Whew! It's like holding my breath without realizing it then to hear that she's not going to go through with it and I let go of the air I was holding in! It's like a HUGE weight had been lifted off of my shoulders! Thanks so much for caring and praying!! You're a real friend!
