Hi wakegirl, you wrote:

honestly vic the first few posts of yours seemed so completely off when compared to everything my doctors have said, i thought i would avoid the confusion and skip every thread initiated by you. however after a few days of avoidence i was drawn back...some of the things you express are difficult to fathom and some cause me to shake my head and wonder what kind of meds he is on. after reading and rereading your posts i relized that the information you are sharing is probably not mentioned by my doctors because it doesnt fit in the mold the have incorporated.

To me, this means I have accomplished what I set out to do: Try to get someone to ask questions, not just accept what is said because a doctor is saying it. (They're usually right, but not always).

And about questions: some of the things you express are difficult to fathom

I know they are. I have tried and failed to teach people what ischemia reperfusion is, and couldn't do it in less than 3,000 to 4,000 words; and they were even more difficult. Now I try to make points that make people ask questions, and hope they will aim some of those questions at me.

I ask for questions. I beg for them. There are gaps, disconnects, in what I write, but that's because I am raising points, not delivering lectures designed to answer every possible question before it's asked.

Anyway, I think if you read my posts you'll see that I try to answer every question presented to me: even when all I can say is "I don't know".

Please, everyone, if you don't understand what I'm saying; if the dots aren't connecting; ask me....Vic
