Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Carolyn-Marie: I am so sorry you are going through such a terrible time with your husband's illness. We faced a similar situation when my dad was near the end -- a doctor actually had the nerve to tell me and my mother, " Why are you so concerned about what kind of disease he has? He's going to die anyway! " That was the first time in my life that I actually came very close to hitting someone. My mother practically collapsed. Some of these doctors need to take a refresher course in sensitive and compassion. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Beverly G.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Carolyn-Marie, you are exactly right! THE DOCTORS JUST DON'T CARE. They probably figure since they don't know much about CJD & know there is no cure for it, then they won't pursue it. They want to come out looking like a hero. (not like the stupid, ignorant, heartless people that they are) I'm sorry I have such negative feelings towards doctors but they really need to care, to understand, and to learn! I don't feel like they give there 100%. (maybe 50%) They have to realize what they're dealing with. (people lives!) Lives that can't be replaced! You only get one mother in this lifetime. ONE. That's it. She's gone. I was lucky to have her for 32 yrs. of my life. I have a 12 yr. old & a 14 yr. old brother & sister that didn't have her as long as I did. Do the doctors know how much we hurt? What a loss feels like? I know they're not God but at least they could act like they care. I'm sorry for rambling on but it does feel good to vent off some steam. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
