A Researcher? >> She is just a " nutcase " with a vendetta against WLS. She is very mis-informed and spews her misinformation at the drop of a hat. She is a " fat activist " and is best just ignored in my humble opinion. I did write to her, recently asking her to lighten up as she was scaring some pre-ops who really needed this surgery to have a new lease on life, but it feel on deaf ears I am sure, although she did write back to me. Still all in all, with almost 100,000 WLS a year, I do not think her biased view is hurting the cause all that much and I told her so. I think she monitors this board and other WLS online support groups. So for her benefit I say.... " Hello Sue...get a life hon " . Bill in WV Open RNY July 7, 1999 Dr. Harvey J.

I know you are busy with your Dad and family and business. Me also... If this is the lady I am thinking of, I would guess, wouldn't you, that she has a committment to an ideal, that is, " big size is good " , However, she seems like she may have sloshed over from admiring an ideal into identifying with such, (very dangerous, even when it is God) so that when the ideal is threatened, she feels threatened too, as though she will have no self left... for she thinks she IS the ideal, instead of realizing she is just a devotee of/to it. I would imagine her real agenda is the onoing and not quite sucessful attempt to create a selfhood. That the carrying on about GB and other items is quite secondary to the shoring up of the sense of a core self---the latter perhaps often not going too well. I do understand sounding alarms about bad treatments and phony interventions. What she does seems more about her than about a concern about the welfare of others. For myself, my interest is realy in seeing if there can be more research of post-op conditions. I know someone has done short term research, I wonder who did those and if they are doing longevity studies. all best ceep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I tend to have to agree with you on this one. Most get little to NO pt contact in the back of the box, even on return trips back to nursing homes, the medic is riding that call also. No matter what level you are, if you don't use your skills you loose them, even at the EMT level. I've been in one place where the medic took all calls, told management they were nuts and left. Wayne ________________________________ To: texasems-l Sent: Monday, June 27, 2011 7:45 PM Subject: Re: Who is this?  I believe that when medics ride all calls the emt loses his continual assessment skills critical to their career.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 It amazes me how simple things like the use, or non-use, of a nickname can generate so much debate. Yet important topics such as the one the Gene was generous to supply has gone virtually untouched. Your title is not what makes you a better medical provider, your knowledge base does.
