    I can’t believe a doctor prescribed such radial treatments for a disease so serious without making completely sure of the diagnosis! What a disgrace to the medical community. This case proves the point to have another medical opinion. That is awful.

    According to an earlier article on IJ the woman refused to allow the doctor access to her previous medical files and put up a couple other roadblocks. This is one I’d really like to have sat in on because there’s so much more here than can be released in these articles.

    Well we can blame you and the atmosphere that Bush and Rove and Cheney and the “religious” right have engendered for your jerk comments. They very well capture the spirit of the waning Bush family era.

    A million dead throughout the world to satisfy the selfish political agenda of a bizarre minority that hijacked the government and military in the US. As things wind down with the current admin, it has all become clear–misuse religion and fear to steal the oil for us few and our friends’ families–including our very special Saudi Arabian friends who fund so many of the Bush family successes and mistakes. Weren’t most 9/11 participants Saudis or has everyone forgotten? Oh, well.

    Whatever meds you are gobbling down have chewed up what’s left of your brain pretty well–but it was swiss cheese to begin with.

    If you only had a brain…a heart…and COURAGE, oh lion of the anonymous internet.

    Bite me…

    I blame Bush,… for Karen Hughes obvious dementia. The girl obviously wants a return to the mentally impaired demon-crats.

    Wow! Give some people an inch and they can discover an entire universe; in the Bizarro Dimension. Actually, it’s just a reference to a little frog in a big pond.
    I would not have imagined that a doctor in a university hospital in Mass. would be Right wing Evangel-raceist-biggot-homophobe-pawn of the vast right wing conspiracy slavishly taking orders from the Bush-Cheney-Rove machine; but you were able to figure that out. Congratulations!

    previous blog, talked about another case, where the lady did not want the orig doctor to get the files stating she had hiv, but the doctor then never ordered test to re-confirm. herein, the doctor was going on symptons, which shud have made the doctor order tests. after going thru all that treatment, i can see her getting something. now, what in reality she may have had it and the treatments worked to cure?! we’ll never know since there was now basis prior to the treatment, just symptons. here’s what i don’t understand is; interest on the prejudgment? what?! i think are lawyers are banking on money and spending it before they actually get it. now you know why doctors are afraid of being a doctor.

    the only good news: she does not have HIV and is now rich prior to xmas — i guess, IRS will have a xmas present waiting in the wings from both the lawyer and the victim.
