Fw: The doctor wouldn't even see me because I have breast implants!

[Guest guest]

We have to look hard for help here in Las Vegas...but I know there are

several who know the truth about breast implants....Dr. Morton Hyson is a

neurologist who defended us in front of the Nevada State Legislature in

April....his own wife was sickened by silicone gel breast implants, so he

knows...

Also, Dr. Ivan Goldsmith is an internist who understands our plight. You

just have to see the right people!
