Hello,
So sorry about what you're going through. However, believe me when I tell you that despite being in a well developped country, the healtcare system here and also now worldwide is in shambles where the dollar got everyone dancing and the word "CARE" has but all evaporated. There's plenty of empathy (feeling) but lack of compassion (action putting the feeling into work). If you are a reader, I would like to suggest a highly thought provoking book called "Compassionomics" By Drs. Stephen Trzeciak and Anthony Mazzarelli.
Wishing the best and take care,
gus

I will try to get hold of the book you are recommending. Yes, the health care system here has little to do with healing and wellness. It is nearly impossible to see a specialist and many of them are trained to give you only a minimal amount of time. Also, many of the prescription drugs have huge side effects--yet, they are advertised on TV every night to make it seem that they are the answer to one's problems. I would not be in this situation had I passed on an RX drug for my sinus infection. Wish I could turn back the clock!
