That picture is actually of my wife's sister's wound, and it took over a year for her to fully recover from the ordeal.<br /><br />Alas, the problems we are having with our healthcare is a direct result of the medical profession becoming a business--not a calling. For it is now just a job to far too many from doctors on down, and with administrators looking at the financial bottom-line instead the physical cost to their patients, "do no harm" goes right out of the nearest window. I sure hope it gets better in your country much sooner than later, but if it does not, please hang onto our Heavenly Father's promise that the miseries we are subjected to in this world are not for nothing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-9481803222696926752014-09-01T18:53:29.999-05:002014-09-01T18:53:29.999-05:00Oh my.

I don't even know where to begin.<br />And here i was thinking my country was the only one lagging sorely behind in this sector.<br />Your tale is rather heart wrenching and very much depressing sir. I was merely searching for some random pictures for my blog and stumbled on the one up there of your wife's post-surgery wound.<br />I have no words for how sad your tale makes me.<br />From the comments i see this was posted quite awhile ago and my hopes are that both your conditions are drastically improved. Whether or not this is so, you'll be very much in my prayers and i hope you find lasting healing.<br />Cheers.Kwiksiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076064606726212225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-38957819680334196812013-12-04T20:32:59.652-06:002013-12-04T20:32:59.652-06:00Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!!

Her own energy levels have declined considerably, which has left her 76 year-old mother as being by far the most healthy person in our household.

You make some excellent points. A good example of the system keeping medical personnel from giving all of the care that they can is Arlynda's liver specialist. For when she first started with him, he was wonderful. In fact, he even called her after office hours from his own home a couple of times, but he has been distancing himself from her lately without giving any reason for it, which I attribute to someone higher up telling him to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-45965361689035138032013-12-03T09:52:38.619-06:002013-12-03T09:52:38.619-06:00Hello Jerry,

The medical profession in the US sounds much the same as the one in the UK. There are some terrible stories of people suffering under doctors' hands here. The only people that appear to be really benefiting are the drugs companies. That is not to say there are not nice doctors and nurses, but they are limited as to what they can do and some don't care at all.

No,...Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! No, Obamacare cannot be blamed for the amount of incompetence and corruption to our health care system, but it can sure waste a lot of money while the status quo is allowed to continue.<br /><br />Alas, I wore down before attempting to make any points in this piece, and there are several that can be made. For the two major health care providers that we have in this area are quite representative of all of the major health care providers in this country. For in their systems are major and minor hospitals, along with dozens of free-standing clinics that are advertised to specialize in the treatment of everything from mental health issues to urgent care that doesn't require the resources of a level 1 trauma center. Hey, just in the last 10 years or, so over a billion dollars has been spent on massive building projects by both of them, and yet, those huge buildings are staffed by many who appear to not have a clue about what they are supposed to be doing.<br /><br />Yes, that can be blamed on the people involved, which could go all of the way to the top. For instead of making every effort to insure that every patient receives the best possible care, the top administrators of both seem to focus all of their attention upon making it look like they have world-class facilities. The fact about the surgeon who refused to acknowledge and treat that pictured infection still being on staff and promoted as being one of the finest anywhere goes a long way toward proving that to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-69848663012178694732013-12-03T03:20:46.959-06:002013-12-03T03:20:46.959-06:00I gave this some thought and still have nothing to...I gave this some thought and still have nothing to say.<br />You canny blame Obamacare for this, but you can blame people!Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-34074541252988661192013-12-02T15:52:13.750-06:002013-12-02T15:52:13.750-06:00Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!!
