Very disappointed

[Guest guest]

I have no intention to intimidate newbies (as I've been accused of

doing) but I just have to say how very disappointed I am in some

list members and the posts I've seen.

I posted earlier about how patients should get informed and realize

that some doctors don't know everything. I wanted to help patients

feel empowered and educated. In response, I was told how terrible

this was and that members should put their entire trust in their

doctor and not second guess anything he/she says.

Now I see a list member asking opinions after her doctor suggested

she should have a BMT and what happens? Some of these very same

list members who accused me of fear mongering, are telling her to do

her research and perhaps not listen to her doctor.

I'm absolutely disgusted at some of what has transpired over the

last few posts. I had nothing but the best of intentions when I

wanted members to feel empowered and in control of their lives. I

wanted them to know that they shouldn't be bullied by any doctors.

Judging from the responses I got, it's obvious that I offended

people in saying this which I find to be more than ridiculous.

I don't want the list to go through any more unnecessary turmoil

over this utter stupidity so I won't continue this discussion

further except to say this, Good luck to you all.
