Just a hello/ Surgeons

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, I am just checking in to say 'Hello', and hope

everyone is doing well. I am catching up with some posts. I have to

say that scince I did the juice fasts/coffee enemas, I have seen

much improvement in my health. I will continue to do them every so

often. I have done things, in the past month, that I never dreamed I

could do a few years ago. Hope this gives someone some inspiration,

to hang in there, things CAN get better.

I was scannning thru the posts and see that there is still

some 'fighting' and bad vibes here. It saddens me to see that. This

is one reason I do not come here too much. It is so hard to have

people in general 'stick together to fight for a cause'. I do

believe that woman should KNOW all sides and 'first hand

experiences' of Dr.s, explants ect., whether they are good

experiences or BAD. Had I known the whole entire senerio to the Dr.

I had chosen, I would have gone to someone different, just based

upon my OWN moral beliefs.I did not have a good experience, first

hand(not thru 'he said she said') I think that some woman are afraid

to speak up, thinking it may scare away new people, or talk them out

of explant. This is the problem that got me here(sick) in the first

place. Before I got implants I heard all the 'great stories', but

afterward, people I know where like ...'yeah so and so got really

messed up(sick), or deformed, or had problems from implants'. I

think it is an important factor that we have the freedom in life to

make 'choices' based upon our own opinions on how we 'evaluate' a

subject from all angles of information that we recieve, good and

bad'. Then we can make our OWN decision, and know some facts before

hand. When I am doing something, I have learned to research, and

read all the GOOD, and all the BAD, then make MY own personal

choice. After all, not WANTING to hear all the 'negative' side of

implants got me here in the first place. In MY life now, I WANT to

KNOW of the bad, before it is too late. This post is NOT intended

for any particular person, and I am not attacking or 'slandering'

anyone, I am just stating my own personal views and feelings. Thank

you for listening. In my life, I refuse to 'argue' or fight with

people, but I do believe that standing up for one's beliefs and

experiences(first hand) are very important! I will not post about

this subject again, or carry on about it. I am here to help give

other woman hope, and hopefully give them some advice as to what has

helped me get to where I am at today. Peace and health to all.TERRY

I don't detect bad vibes, unless I missed something in the last two

hours. Just discussion.

I am so excited that your fasts and coffee enemas have given you

better health. I am so happy for you!! Keep up the good work. I

see you have been away for awhile and are catching up on the posts.

You will be glad to know that this controversy is behind us, we are

all still friends, and possibly even more supportive than ever.

Sometimes feelings get hurt, tempers flare, misunderstandings

abound. that is human nature. But this group is awesome and strong

and infinitely more interested in helping than hurting. So be

encouraged---this group is stronger than ever! By the way, your

comments were right on target. GReat to have you back.

Love, kathy

Hi Terry!

Glad to hear you're doing better.That's GREAT!

I see what you're saying and agree with you that popular or not, the truth about one's experience with a doctor is important in making our decisions as consumers and patients. After all we're putting OUR lives/bodies in theirs hands. Integrity means a great deal when you're dealing with a doctor, suppose something goes wrong--there's a complication--it's best we know how the temperament of a doc is in addition to their surgical skill should something go wrong.Ignorance and silence benefits no patients or prospective patients. I believe that checks/balances keeps us more educated as patients. The best way to measure character with a doctor is how they react to difficult cases as you never know if your situation can turn into a difficult case(through no fault of the doctor in situations too).If they're cool in times of trouble or a hard case--that speaks volumes about their skill and character.

I'm sorry that you were not given better treatment by your PS--you certainly did deserve it--we all do.The respect I did have for her has eroded because of your treatment.That's so sad.

It's been great chatting with you--you're a dear!

Hugs,
