I am very sorry for what you've had to go through, Alice. I do know that feeling of fear, when the only ones who can help you aren't.

I know that there are a lot of good doctors out there. That doesn't really help my PTSD due to doctoring trauma. Yes, we all need to work at reducing the percentage of "bad" doctoring but doctors are ultimately responsible for themselves.

It was probably a naive hope of mine that my book on doctoring, which I finished on my birthday a month and a half ago, will be published and read. Or that it would do any good. But if we don't at least try to make doctoring better, who else will?

Recently, I read through the pile of records I got of my Dad's after he died. He had a cardiac infarct over a year before he died that none of his doctors told us about. Errors and mistakes can be a small as a typo or as large as a coffin. So get your records.
