Re: Another hospital trip-what a dummy!

[Guest guest]

Anne,

Let me just first start out by saying that you are no dummy!

You are in desperate need of help girlfriend and you are right to

have an expectation that it should be available to you by those who

purport to give professional medical assistance.

However, we have a broken and failing medical paradigm because greed

has shifted the focus from giving excellent care and compassionately

caring for the ill to making money and being politically correct.

Implants are safe, because money has bought and paid for skewed

studies that the medical professionals cite by rote.

I can tell you, as thousands of other women can tell you, that

implants are not safe and have destroyed the lives of countless

women. You have a right to be angry--but please do not be angry at

yourself! The anger should be directed to those medical

professionals who had a DUTY to provide the care you needed and paid

for. IMPLANTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPECT all along.

Anne, I'm wondering, do you have a tan cast to your skin, or any

areas that look like you've been in the sun?

I know trying to get explanted is a huge hurdle, but you have to go

over it Anne, if you ever hope to have a chance to get better. Are

there any family members that can help you? Parents? Ex-husband?

Assets you can sell? Credit cards you can tap? If you have

insurance, Dr. Kolb in Atlanta can more than likely get it covered

for you. Her website is: www.plastikos.com

Please do not give up. Have hope. You can do this. (You need to do

this.) Getting rid of those implants is going to give your body the

rest it is so desperate for. It will be liberating.

You are not alone in this experience Anne...thousands of women have

gone before you and suffered and come through it. I hope that gives

you some comfort. You've read their stories, so you know that women

have gotten better and gone on to live productive lives. We are here

to say, " It is possible. " Only you can make the choice for yourself,

but we will be here to encourage you along the way, and thank GOD,

there are a few brave and courageous doctors in America who stand

with us in admitting that implants can destroy lives, and who are

doing their best to help women get better. It's there for you if you

desire to pursue it.

Hugs,

Patty

Patty, your notes are always so appreciated...it is truly as if

grappling for a life line and so extremely comforting when you find it-

when someone responds.

I will definetly get the explant... I don't see it as an option...I

mean I have to get it. I just really am sick of it all though.

Tomorrow will be a new day and I never am very good at staying in the

dumps. I believe in God and he has proven himself to me over and

over... I just need to get my heart, mind, ears, eyes, and soul back

with him and then I will hear that beautiful song of joy he plays over

and over again, within me. Hmmm... yep... starting to hear the beat

again already.

Thank you for your encouraging words. You know, you can feel the

energy of women who are reading, though not posting. Thank you for

your support too...it is coming across loud and clear. God Bless all

of you ladies. I pray for wellness to be showered upon us all.

Anne
