i am so sorry to hear about your father and the way he was treated, you can vent all you want we are always here to listen and support. it hurts me deeply when such injustice goes without punishment just because of the so called "status" these "specialists" have. they are not god and know very little but do not like to be reminded about this.i hope your father found peace at the end.god bless.

the same thoughts go to you also, i hope your husband is not suffering too much, and you can also vent in my ear anytime. god bless to you and your husband.
finally, i have sent a letter to the neuro i saw last week, i can not post it for in case of any legal implications but have sent a private copy to hoping.
basically i have stated my case regarding mri to diognose pls and have sent the supporting evidence to back up my statement. i have questioned my medical care or lack of it, conflicting information regarding what different neuros have said.
i have also stated at the discusting way i was treated and may report this to the hospital board. i have sent a copy to my usual neuro as he is mentioned in it.
so we shall see what happens.
i bumped into a friends father yesterday who can barely walk due to bad knees, they will not give him a knee replacement because he can still walk! and at 64yrs of age is too young!.he visited a friend abroad in a so called 3rd world country and said the hospitals were spotless, well run,very good medical care a far cry from the filthy,debt ridden, incompetant so called nhs hospitals we have in the uk, and to all you usa folks we pay for it by national insurance contributions which is compulsary, unless your a lazy sod and don't want to work. i did work full time as a single parent and had always worked till getting ill and then they dont want to know. i would have gladly paid to a private health fund if i knew then what i know now.
thats my vent done, boy that does feel good.
god bless you all
