I have been gone for a few weeks now, as some have noticed. A few weeks ago I as observing at a hospital where I potentially would start work March 1. I stayed over night observing staff and left at shift change in the morning.
I was talking on the sidewalk with the guy who was interviewing me for the position and I passed out. We couldn't find anything wrong but we scheduled an MRI.
While having the MRI I started seizing. Long story short I had a brain aneurysm. I am not the man I used to be after multiple surgeries, induced coma, and now partial paralysis.
I will likely never practice again unless it is on a small scale - certainly never the pace that I kept in a hospital ER.
As I told sweetowen in an email tonight, to say I am depressed is an understatement. I felt like I owed the friends I have made on here an explanation for my sudden absence a few weeks ago.
Oh my gosh! I am at a complete loss for words, except to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers Daz. I hope you will eventually have a complete recovery. Please know that we are here for you.

i'm glad you made it throught it all. also sorry to hear about you not being able to practice, as from your posts I gathered you truly loved your work. I know it is no consolation but I always try to keep in mind everything happens for a reason though we may have no idea what it is at the time. best of wishes for a speedy recovery.

Dazzle, Thank you so much for coming back and sharing with us what took you away for so long.
As there are no words that will truly be of comfort right now, I will just say, as I talk to my Creator on a daily basis you will be at the top of my list.

Doc.
I have few words for you. Which will make it all better, because they will not.
But to say, I am taking a time to think about you.
Doc, I'm so sorry that you've been going through such an ordeal. Please know that you have the support of your friends here should you need any of us. You'll stay in my thoughts and prayers.
Doc, I'm so sorry to hear about all that you've been through. As Slim said, everything happens for a reason, though we may not know the reason at the time.
You can still practice medicine, but yes, it will have to be at a slower pace. Maybe open your own office. With your experience, and your heart, you will do well. I said once before that you were one of the few truly in it for the right reasons...I still believe that of you.
You're in my prayers, Doc. I know this isn't easy...but you're strong, and you can make the most of this. Have faith, and find your new path. The Universe doesn't shut one door without opening another...watch for that open door. And keep us posted. Many on here care about you greatly.

I wish you the absolute best in your recovery. My younger brother went thru your experience twice. He dided several times on the table. He is alive right now, but not the same person he was before. Figure out what you are able to do and enjoy that. I just can't imagine how pissed off you are inside. We are thinking of you.

I dont really know you, Doc, but I am very sorry to hear of your illness and wish you all the luck in the world..
Perhaps hearing about something as serious and worrying as this will encourage people to realise that life is short, and perhaps to get their heads out of their rear ends and get on and enjoy it rather than worrying and stressing about relatively unimportant things..
So sorry to hear this has happened to you...will keep you in my thought's and prayer's...Show's us all how life can change for any of us so quickly....guess we never know--huh...
