SURGERY NIGHTMARES AND SECRETS
You may want to consider never having surgery on fridays as too many
surgeons and other important players in your surgical procedure and operation
may have their minds elsewhere!
Additionally, if your doctor says, "I must operate", maybe consider getting
a few more medical opinions before you opt for the surgery he is suggesting.
There may possibly be less drastic measures available that ordinary,
conventional doctors may not even be aware of or believe in. On the other hand,
if you feel that something is not right and your doctors cannot find anything
wrong with you, do not give up. Doctors make a misdiagnosis and mistakes more
often than you may like to believe!
YOU have to take control and start with preventive strikes like by NOT
patterning your eating habits and lifestyle after what you see advertised and/or
portrayed on TV, all of which may be conditioning you to accept the traditional
habits of "suicide by lifestyle"!
You may survive the surgery but possibly die due to contracting some
infection simply because some nurse or health care worker forgot to wash their
hands before treating you which may expose you to bacteria contributing to a
deadly infection!
Furthermore, you may think you are getting a good deal when your health
insurance only makes you pay 20% of all of your health care costs while they
pickup the other 80%. What you may not know is the insurance company may likely
"re-negotiate" what they have to pay your doctors and hospitals and end up
paying possibly less than you do, which is like paying "wholesale" prices while
you, the unsuspecting patient, ends up paying "full retail"! All this because
you, the patient, do not have anyone negotiating for you. Remember, the "big
boys" (Big Business) do not always pick up the tab, you, the consumer, often
does!
