The doctors and nurses at MDA are hardly inefficient. Describing them as true professionals does not do them justice. My mom and I actually sat and talked with one of the top lymphoma/myeloma doctors in the country, and maybe the world, for almost an hour and a half one day with only brief interruptions. I was simply amazed at the level of commitment and expertise shown by everyone, from the department head to the cleaning and food service people I came into contact with.
The downside of places like MDA? They're huge!!! Just the lymphoma/myeloma wing would dwarf many full sized hospitals in most major cities I suspect. Bring walking shoes! And jug ears wants to exclude them from the party. With people going there from all over the country and around the world, I think somehow they'll survive. I pray they do...
This will impact me and my family personally, along with so many others.
This situation is one we have expected...but prayed may not come...and now it is. It is intolerable and cannot be allowed to stand.
I say that not just for my sake...I made my peace already and am willing to happily live as long as the good Lord determines for it is in His hands, and submit to His will in all things. But I know there are many thousands, from children, through young adults, to newly weds, and parents with young families...all the way up to Sr. citizens who can enjoy life with their grandkids, who this type of decision will be, in effect, a death sentence.
These tyrnats are using the health care system as a weapon, a weapon to control the vast majority of the American people.
IMHO sooner or later, we as a people have to stand, whatever the cost, and show them we will not bow to such control.
