DO NO HARM. What is that?!?!

A bunch of crap, if you ask a peer review board of "MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IN TEXAS".

Courtesy of "medical professionals" that the All Republican Texas State Supreme Court wants to keep from fleeing Texas. Thanks again, All Republican Texas State Supreme Court!!! Smashing good job!!! Kudos.

I think the BEST part of it, is that Miguel was CRITICAL when he showed up to the hospital with a blood glucose of 14...had the "ambulance" got lost or made an extra trip around the block, they may have delivered a 10 year old's dead body.

Ahhhh...that just makes it so easy to sleep at night. Awesome.

"Do no harm" is alive and well in Texas!!!

The castration of Texas...not a bull, but a cow. A big, fat, lazy cow.

Election year is here and I casted my votes this morning. State Representative Scott Hochberg got my vote!!! So did a Democratic Texas Supreme Court because the Republican Supreme court is on my shit list!!! It's tough when you vote just to vote against people...

Fuel to my fire....

I received information that the "Dr." and "RN" of Lufkin State School went before a peer review board for their grossly negligent actions and they are....BACK AT WORK at LUFKIN STATE SCHOOL!!!!

What does this say about the medical profession, their peers agreeing with the low standard of practice or just being a cult that will support their peer no matter what?

Does anyone have a backbone anymore?

Where has the character of an individual gone when everything looks so damn blurry?

Who stands out in a crowd to voice their opinion, back it up with substantial evidence and stick to it no matter what people may say?

Has Texas been castrated?!?! Where the fuck is the justice?!?!?!? I'll tell you where...wait for it.

To add insult to injury, I received the news a couple weeks ago about the "doctor" and "registered nurse" going back to work to "practice medicine" at Lufkin State School, which brought up so much anger...I couldn't even respond appropriately (as if this is appropriate, but it is as good as it gets at this point). Miguel is literally functioning on the level of a 12 month old baby, a helpless, blind and Autistic kid that relies on caregivers to treat him with respect and dignity, so when a parent puts their child's welfare in the hands of "capable and responsible" PROFESSIONAL adults....you could only expect to have these standards upheld to a minimum of DO NO HARM. DO NO HARM, you know, "ethics" of such "professionals".

To further my anger (which will probably never resolve), it's election year and I heard this fantastic promotion on the radio for the ALL Republican Texas State Supreme Court, stating that we should THANK the ALL Republican Texas State Supreme Court for bringing doctors back to Texas because they were FLEEING the state due to FRIVOLOUS lawsuits.

Ummmmm....fuck you. That's the best "thanks" I can drudge up at this point. Where is the justice? Please refer to my earlier blog about the same ALL Republican Texas State Supreme Courts ruling encouraging INCOMPETENT, INCAPABLE, IGNORANT, UNPROFESSIONAL "doctors" to FLOCK to Texas because Texans don't care about their medical treatment and will NOT demand appropriate treatment for accurate diagnosis.

"Thank you, all Republican Texas Supreme Court for allowing piss poor medical treatment to your constituents. You are AWESOME!!! Keep up the good Republican work!!!"

Lawsuit against Lufkin State School...

I have sought out legal representation and per my attorney's request, I have edited this blog.

I recently started persuing a medical malpractice lawsuit against Lufkin State School and found out how crappy the State of Texas is with this issue.

Here is an intresting tidbit. Read below the response from a law firm........

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, we will be unable to pursue a medical malpractice claim on your behalf. As a result of legislation passed during the 2003 session, many cases of true medical negligence cannot be prosecuted economically.

The legislation, which was the result of a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by insurance companies, HMOs and corporate interests, immunized negligent conduct in many instances and put harsh caps on the amount of recoverable damages. It was supported by Gov. Perry, House Speaker Tom Craddick and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. Because of this legislation, we will not be able to represent you. You may also want to contact Texas Watch, a citizen group that fights for Texas families. By lending your name, your story and your support to this effort, you may make a difference.

Texas Watch can be reached at 1-888-738-4226 or at www.TexasWatch.org. We encourage you to seek another opinion, if you wish to do so. It is possible that another law firm may have a different opinion. Bear in mind, however, that there is a strict two-year statute of limitations in Texas. That means that you have two years from the date of the negligent act within which to bring suit. Again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to review your case. We wish you the best.

I say, we just put a big, fat, huge sign over Texas to all incompetent doctors who received their license from the same Cracker Jack box I got my lick on tattoo out of and say,

"Come practice your bullshit here!!! As long as don't kill anyone, you are OoooooKaaaaaayyyyy!!!!"

I think I am going to medical school. I can get a fat paycheck and peddle any drug I want for whatever reason. I don't even have to give a good diagnosis.

I'm gonna be in a dissociative fugue state for a while....

...so don't come looking for me.

;)

Just know that Miguel discharged from a fantastic hospital to Brenham State School last Wednesday. He started to be more like himself yesterday...he was spinning. :) I've never been so happy to have him spin.

Anyhoo, it appears he may be on the up-and-up. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks for all your support!!!!

Don't call it a comeback....

I've been here for years. :)



I woke Miguel up for lunch and dinner yesterday and the big guy woke up spontaneously for about an hour after dinner yesterday. I managed to get some good pictures of his smiling face.







He slept until 4 p.m. yesterday. He had approx a 4 hour window of being "awake". Like, eyes open, semi-vegatative. His personality came out for about 30 minutes-1 hour. :)

Miguel wearing a 24-hour holter monitor.

Wake up for feeding.

Here comes the personality.....

.....it was just a brief glimpse before he went back to sleep.

Today, Miguel woke up at 1100 and he has been up for most of the day. His lab work is leveling and we are still hopeful for positive results on his MRI tomorrow.

Sweet baby....

How can a 20 year old, woman with a high school education care for this child for 10 years without incident, yet, a medical staff nearly kills him in less than a week?

Chew on that.

Hate is a strong word

I said "hate". Not "hate" as an action word, moreso, a very strong negative feeling. The feeling doesn't stay long. It evolves into a life lesson for me, creating better judgement. I do not carry it with me too long, however, that is my initial feeling when seriously bad things happen, that shouldn't have. Preventable things.

Mistakes happen. That's okay, to a degree. I understand mistakes. I don't understand negligence and stupidity....which causes the initial feeling of "hate".
