With all this talk about experimental operations and human beings being guinea pigs, I have a little two-story to tell. Approximately 15 years ago on a Saturday morning, a friend of mine was making love to his wife. The next thing he remembered he was in the ambulance riding to the hospital bare ass naked. Of course, the doctors had no idea what was wrong with him so they did all the general tests. After all the general tests came back negative the doctors started to x-ray him with normal results. Once they put him into an MRI they noticed that he had a brain tumor growing in the middle of his four had the size of a large egg. After the doctors drilled a hole in his head for a biopsy they realize that he had cancer. The type of cancer that he had was just about certain death with the standard treatment. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin and was asked if he would be a "guinea pig" for a new cancer treatment. After a long deliberation with the doctors and his wife and family he decided to go for it because otherwise the outcome was pretty grim. To make a long story short, after all the experimental drugs and radiation that he was given. He is now 100% cancer free and living his life to the fullest. So, sometimes the only choice you have is to be that "guinea pig." Jim |
