Wow... I just watched the video on his site:
“Beck from the Dead” - http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/3434/
It sounds like he went through a total nightmare. I’ll try to remember to listen to his show on Monday because it sounds like he has gotten a glimpse at what the world would be like under a gov’t run healthcare system. He alluded to the fact that this is the way our soldiers are being treated. I’m assuming that he went to a VA hospital???
In the video I watched he said that his doctor told him he was getting a combination of “everything they had for pain”, and that it put him in a very dark place. He admitted that by Thursday he was totally suicidal. He has decided NOT to take those drugs anymore and is trying to recover without them... I wouldn’t wish that on ANYONE, and I wish him the best of luck. Pain meds can be scary things, especially if one is prone to problems as it sounds Mr. Beck may be.
It really doesn’t sound like he is exaggerating when he talks about the state he was in due to the meds, although I will freely admit that I’m not familiar with his “style”... When he speaks about how his wife “turned him around” from his suicidal thoughts, and that she saved his soul yet again, I’m inclined to believe him. It looked like he was fighting back tears, frankly...
Well, regardless, he and his family have my prayers and wishes for a quick recovery. My husband had back surgery last June, and it’s no fun at all.
