I am really sorry to hear that. What happened? If you don't mind answering...I would try to get to the Physics Department instead of the Chemistry Department...I am a bit young and i haven't made many choices which i would regret in the future...

It's a very long story, but in short, he went in to have his appendix out and the hospital staff neglected him. I took care of him more than the staff did. In the end they suffocated him with the oxygen rebreather....they didn't fill it with oxygen like they were supposed to, he was breathing his own breath. My son and I had to witness a literal torturing and murder over 4 days. He was 45.

I've asked myself the same question over the past 2 years. I blamed myself for a long time and still do sometimes. I saw what was going on, but it didn't really register until it was too late. We are supposed to be able to trust the medical profession, but I don't anymore.

It's not your fault. You brought your husband to a hospital. What else to do? Take care of him? That's what the doctors should do!!! I hate doctors too...They value money more that human life. It's disgusting. You know something? There is almost no other profession with so many money and so little work...

I agree about the docs only caring about the almighty $$...I had a great uncle that was a doc and he was truly committed to his profession of helping others. My sister is a nurse and she also takes her job and the oath she made seriously. I guess I felt since I had grown up around the medical profession, I should have seen sooner what was going on with Steve....but I was also raised to trust docs. I know I can't change what happened, but it will haunt me for the rest of my life.

That is so sweet...thank you so much. Yes, a part of me died then and I'll never be able to get it back. It also devastated my son, so much that he does his best to forget. Those people took something very precious from us...part of our hearts.

um, what about professional athletes?

a doctor spends a huge chunk of money on mal-practice insurance...so much so that many are going out of business. it's not quite as profitable as people seem to think...

many ob/gyns no longer even deliver babies, the insurance for it is so high. and...many rural areas hardly have doctors at all. it's NOT a well-paying profession for most.

so...under-staffed...over-worked...they continue on...and yes, there are casualties. and it sucks.

Yes but i think you must have special qualities to become a doctor. And i don't mean only intelligence. You must value human life and it's uniqueness!

Looking back in the journal I kept for Sarah for the 1 week she made it "home" i would have taken her in to the hospital the wed before she died
but i guess when it comes to things like this there is alsys going to be something you "should have done"

the one thing i would change...i don't know.

i would say...i wouldn't have sent ben out of my house that night...and maybe he wouldn't have shot himself.

but...then my children wouldn't exist...and who knows what my life would be like.

i wish he was back...i would give my soul for that...
