Re: Mold found-No response from management

[Guest guest]

Eileen,

That is just amazing. Since my other halfs

triglycerides are 1800. They tested twice because

they thought it was wrong. Eileen I suggest you get

out of there for your on health and I suggest you call

or write me once you do. Our hospital flooded and many

were sick too. I honestly think they were too

unknowledgeable and did not even think " Mold " Of

course you know some of the chemcials they use to

clean cnn make it worse with chemical sensitivity.

However if toxic mold is present in te HACV THEN ALL

TH PATIENTS ARE GETTING EXPOSED WHILE THERE.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT jOE kLEIN SITE. HE IS A

DOCTOR. HE POSTS REGULARLY. fEEL FREE TO CONTACT US.

We are trying to open a clinic in the Ozarks

specifically for environmental illness including Toxic

Mold. Many of the healthcare people who have had

these exposures will apply to work at our clinic, it

will be a cooperate efffort, paid on sliding scale and

contract.

Thank you for your response. I realize that I will need to move on but want

to get confirmation from an occupational med. Doc that I will be seeing in

two weeks.

I have spent a fortune on meds and the insurance co. has spent needless

amounts of money that they should not have had to do. I want to ensure that

others do not have to suffer. I feel betrayed and am angered that we (the

employees) are thought so little of.
