  • its a feeling that never leaves, you wake up tormented over what these demons have done.

    As the medical system covers up mistakes some doctors made on me, one Dr. with a kind soul explained with sorrow that any doctor that would help me now would lose his or her ability to practice. Although I have MRI reports that I have osteomyelitis of the mandible,sinus tracts to my face, a cystic lesion in my brain, etc, all doctors (but the one with a heart) tell me that the reports were in error and the sores through my skull and face and the terrible dizziness are nothing to worry about.

  • So sad! Medical MISTAKES can be eliminated if all medical professionals would pay attention AND DO AS YOU WERE TRAINED! medical personnel who have laziness, carelessness, lack of passion are 3 main reasons!
