Re: [QUAD-L] seizures

After 31 years as a quadriplegic, I don't even talk to doctors that think my life will improve after a stay in the hospital. I'm sure they have learned tons in the past ten years but I also know they can give me a preasure sore in under a half hour while they discuss a miracle with an associate. Going to the hospital is like choosing a bride at a whorehouse. It's fun at first but they can't do the day to day stuff. When they say they can, they are lying. I do like the food at hospitals, they way it sits across the room by the door slowly getting cold and then the aid asking why I didn't eat it? The wheelchair accesable bathrooms that have a four inch step over into the shower. Teaching 4 new people every day to use a hoyer lift, or the way my bowels move freely while a nurse wanders the hallways in search of someone else to do a digital stim. I do love the solid hour of privacy that I get when I press the call button after waiting 3 days to get a call button I can use. Waking up to the sight of eight student doctors that have a combined IQ of 72. I'm too old to be a teaching object for doctors that are more interested in the stock market and their teachers that aren't going to miss another 10 am tee off. Does any of this sound familiar?   john   In a message dated 10/3/2006 9:06:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Neuro Science has learned more about the brain in the last 10 years, then all of what was known in the last 100 years. Neuro Stims now all but eliminate those nasty seizures.  There is a science research team in Canada that is attempting to get a patent on their latest results on both Neuro Stims and Neuro Infusion Therapy.  We continue to learn with each mistake.... and each day.
