Because those stellar UK surgeons couldn’t find it the first time, apparently.
Mark Wattson returned to Great Western Hospital in Swindon for a second appendectomy a month after the first operation, because his appendix ruptured. His employer, not believing the story, fired him. To add insult to injury, the incision after the second operation became infected.
Mr. Wattson, after a good deal of unnecessary trauma, is still in a good deal of pain, and is now jobless.
This sad tale brought to you by the Daily Mail, which reports that compensation to National Health Service patients has risen to 769 million Pounds.
Pharmer’s obvious response is to encourage all people to BUY WHOLE FOODS!! Even if you don’t like the op-ed written by Mr. Mackey, do you think it’s right for him and all his employees to be punished for expressing his opinion on health care?
Remember: with the heavy handed suppression of free speech and other human rights, YOU’RE NEXT!!!

Amid finally reporting what he didn’t want us to see before the Congressional Summer Break… Obama also decided to keep Ben Bernanke as head of the Federal Reserve.
Problems Problems. We’re going deeper in the hole, unemployment is worse than predicted, and there’s less excuse to spend more on the Obama-care debacle than ever before.
Obama also has to keep Bernanke, because he can’t find anyone else, to take the job, who can do better math. (We can all discern that Lefties don’t do math.) Note the AP and other news trying to spin the Bernanke decision as a stabilizing influence on markets, heh heh heh….
Didn’t need a study to establish the obvious, though here it is:
A study called Risky Encounters by Kina Hammarlund, a University of Skövde researcher, suggests that a portion of STD vicims, all male, view the acquisition as a sign of manhood. (Perhaps for some, it’s the ‘proof positive’ to their associates, that they have had sex.)
Hammarlund notes that there are no women who have this view. Also she concludes from her, interview style study, that the same old gender disparities remain despite the “progressive” sexual attitudes.
A generation after most medical schools have ceased using the Hippocratic Oath (it forbade abortion, euthanasia and physician assisted suicide)people are still making reference to it as though it remains the primary guiding principle of physicians.
While I wish the Hippocratic oath were still the primary guiding principle for physicians, and its spirit should be influencing all other health care professionals, there’s a need to wake people up to the fact that its use has faded drastically. Please also note that participation in the brave new world of health care is not for those of us who would refuse to kill any patient, or assist in this killing.
We will be eliminated from the system. You will have to deal the kinds of practitioners which Obama has been envisioning for the public in order to sell his health care.
That being said, Mr. McCullough’s article is good for pointing out Obama’s factual errors in the matters of pricing and referral, and also that practitioners remain who would never take a kickback for referral even if they could. Yes, it is all about referrals, because the physicians who monitor the general, endocrine and renal status of the diabetic patient have Zero to do with the amputation surgeries.
Obama’s abortionists receive much more than the usual amputation fee for their surgical procedures. They could be much more able to pay a referral fee, as well as the costs of lobbying their politicians.
The “reporter/pundit” is almost choked by her own waves of emotion as she interviews truck dealer, Mark Mueller, who gives away a voucher for an AK-47 with each truck purchase.
Pharmer fully supports Mr. Mueller’s exercise of his constitutionally protected freedoms.
Seems that during the Clinton administration there was counseling for severely disabled veterans to concerning the end of life options. The literature distributed in this program “Your Life, your Choices” was geared towards the predetermined conclusion of helping the government save resources. In other words for the Veteran there was encouragement to give up on life. The Bush administration found this to be inappropriate, and suspended the program. With the Obama administration, this program is baaaaaack. In the new edition, apparently the Hemlock society is the only group referenced as a resource in the area of advanced directives.
So, look to the cost containment efforts being imposed upon the disabled U.S. veterans to see what the Obama administration has in store for the rest of us.
People need to think twice about the attitude of this administration towards those who would give their lives for this country, before signing up for military service during the next three years.
Yes it’s a ‘death panel’. Encouraging the option of a faster death to a vulnerable person, who has suffered personal disasters and feels hopeless, brings the same result as directly refusing care.
It’s “sophisticated” to make negative assumptions regarding the intelligence of Sarah Palin. Despite my youthful demeanor (refusal to “grow up”) I am old enough to know that this is a REWIND of the behavior of the elites towards Ronald Reagan, with his 150 IQ, who ended the Cold War, who wrote most of his own speeches, and needed no teleprompter.
I quote Reagan to the media and sophisticated elites: “THERE YOU GO AGAIN!”
Part and parcel of refusing to grow up is not wanting to see excessive rewind, reinventing of the wheel, and rehashing of activities and thoughts which are already proven to cause failure and human misery.
My mind is still that of a researcher. No information is turned away as useless. There’s always something new to try, and some useful new idea. I don’t turn on oldies radio stations, even though I like a lot of old music. I turn on the stations which have new songs, and songs I never heard before in the mix. I listen to the music my kids hear, (while discouraging the really sick stuff).
So when asked if Sarah is thinking about this health care issue………
Well, as Governor of a State, that was certainly an issue that would have had to cross her mind. DUH!!!!
And now she has the time to write about what she’s seeing and thinking. Very nice combination of essays there. And she’s noticed that there’s NOTHING NEW in the health bills. Just the old payoff of the cronies, special interests lining up for favors, and feeding the tort lawyers at the expense of the sick (letting them die) and the taxpayers.
I am pushing for Sarah Palin because…… she is normal. She is to a large extent putting my thoughts into public view: 80 percent agreement, at least. Palin has the social skill to succeed and lead, which is why I promote her instead of running for office myself, (as quite a few have suggested).
Obama is mixing church and state, in a most un-Democrat way in his appeal to the Rabbis on his “health care transfiguration”.
Rabbi Jack Moline twittered this Obama quote: “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death,” as reported by Ben Smith of the Politico..
Maybe you’ll want to preserve a screen shot before Ben’s column also gets scrubbed.
Obama without his teleprompter, reveals an inflated view of his mission on earth as the equal of God in authority over life and death. This is from the guy who thinks it’s OK to kill babies after their born, by means of exposure.
Yes the word partners denotes a relationship of equals, Mr. “Orator”. Your statement was Massively revealing to us of the danger you pose to all our lives.
I find the suggestion that any human is a “partner” of God in ANY capacity, to be theologically unsound to the extreme degree.
ADDED NOTE: to see the deleted tweets of Rabbi Jack Moline, go to TWELETED and put in his user name, jlm548. You’ll see the Obama quote as the Rabbi heard it.
