pendesk8,

I know you may feel you have been wronged at some point, but saying something like, "Drs think its up to them when we leave here ,guess what ,it's not." is both unfair, inaccurate and not reflective of the facts of their long education, training and dedication to you, their patient.

My Dr has no dedication to me whatsoever.I'm just a dollar sign.I see her 5 mins every month.She has never helped me with this fight at all.I've been going it on my own.I firmly believe that God has the say of when we leave here,not other people.I had terminal stage 4 cancer 25 years ago.The cheif of staff at Johns Hopkins told me I had a miracle and thats what I believe.Believe what you want.

@mayoconnectuser1 : I'm respectfully asking you to think about how you phrase things ----> "I know you ***may*** feel you have been ***wronged*** at some point" is a bit judge-y and even incendiary -- not helpful for anyone struggling with this disease -- and it's also inaccurate (one of your criticisms of the comment you responded to -- " ... is both unfair, inaccurate, and ... ").

Instead, perhaps: "I hear that you aren't getting what you need from this doctor" -- factual and no judgement. Affirming even as you post an opposing viewpoint in the rest of your comment.

I mean no offense; my goal is to help keep things respectful and help keep the temperature down. Thanks.
