Is this the turning point, when I become a bitter hag?

No joke. I see a lot of patients in the midst of their crisis and the crisis hadn't developed in the past 24 hours but rather a long period of decompensation through maladaptive coping mechanisms to not deal with real issues due to their inability to recognize the painful reality or not knowing how to deal with it....thinking it will "just go away", "time heals everything"--type scenarios. Which never work out, instead it slowly changes us over the years to the person we grow up to be, even if we didn't necessarily choose to be that person.

In hindsight, my beginning point probably happened in 6/08, nonetheless, in 10, 20, 30 years from now, when I have hit the bottom of my personal hell, I will re-count the events from which it all began and 2008 may be "my beginning point." I really hope not, but it sure feels that way lately.

I miss him....

I STAND CORRECTED!!!!

The "dr" and "rn" are back at work after their "peer review board" BUT! the Texas Medical Board has decided to investigate because of the complaint.

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Faith in humanity and laws......RESTORED!!!!!

The best part of it is, the "peer review board" was confidential and I was not allowed to participate or give my timeline of events, whereas, the Texas Medical Board has called me for my timeline, perception and a notarized statement.

TMB is good!!! ;) Poor investigator that called.....she got an earful and an 8-page, single space recollection of the events detailed with names, times, contact info.......This mother doesn't mess around when it comes to the welfare of her boy!!!

I am only able to do this because of my fantastic State Representative and his staff, who have continued to follow this case from day one. I have received updates from his staff, informing me of what is happening and what is going on. They connected me into the Texas Medical Board and provided them with my contact info, otherwise, the investigation may have been one-sided and incomplete.

VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN!!!!

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!!!!
