Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Nearly 4 months ago..Thanks, Jax, but truth be told, I'm still plenty scared and still looking to learn as much as I can.. What you all have taught me is to look out for ME.. I don't like to see myself or anyone taken advantage of, or not given proper care and treatment and we all know there's way too much of that going on.. What the heck ever happened to the Oath that physicians take, that is nothing more than a sham with many, it seems..

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Sheena, we are ALL scared still from time to time but it does get less and less as we go along and learn that we CAN live WITH THIS DISEASE!

You have to be,, and as far as the hypocratic oath,, heck I dont know where it went or what has caused so many docs to change into high tech non humans! But you hang in there,, you are going to do just fine! hugs jaxSheena <mom4possums2002@...> wrote: Nearly 4 months ago..Thanks, Jax, but truth be told, I'm still plenty scared and still looking to learn as much as I can..

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yep, that's the one, the Hippocratic Oath, pertaining to the ethical practice of medicine, what a crock, heh? I have to wonder if that's where the term "hypocrite" came from.. Thanks, I'm hanging in, and wishing everyone a better new year..
