You know who I mean. I can tell you that I was raised in this system and when I married, quickly got out of there as soon as I could. They were responsible for my dad’s death. This was 1975 when he had his heart surgery. They put in a faulty valve and he died that very night after the surgery. The faulty valve was discovered only 2 days later and hit the news that these certain valves were faulty. But that couldn’t bring him back. We had to endure a lawsuit (my mom and I) & hired a lawyer/doctor to represent us. Many months later, they settled “out of court” for a paltry sum, we never could get to the courts to hear the case. My mom has since passed away. I have more horror stores as to “the hands of stupidity”. During the time I was in my early 20’s I had what later was diagnosed by a real doctor at a wonderful teaching hospital as a hormone imbalance. But before this diagnosis, the hands of stupidity tried giving me a d & c, several shots of depo provera (which was later banned by the FDA), and this shot gave me phlebitis in my legs! I kept going to the emergency room where the hands of stupidity would keep giving me more shots of depo provera, and they were wondering what was wrong with me. I also had a bad bladder infection, which they could never diagnose. At the wonderful teaching hospital this was discovered as well and they said that the white count was so high they couldn’t even count it!! I had to endure years of going to urologists for treatment and had kidney x rays to see if I had any damage. It was awful. To this day, I am messed up a bit from this bladder infection. My own dad had to pay out of his pocket for me to go to this teaching hospital and get diagnosed. I remember him laying me down on the floor of the emergency room (he carried me in) and telling them to fix me. They did and they were wonderful. But the hands of stupidity are still there…they are not real doctors!!
