I wouldn’t trust any doctor not knowing if the instruments have been autoclaved or disinfected. If colon diseases are at risk for HIV/HCV then we can’t trust any hospital, VA or not! Don’t believe everything you read about. I just read in a letter that my son wrote 4 weeks ago, that was just delivered that him saying “I going to kill himself.” The marines didn’t even think to notify me of his death by his own hands. I just got an informal call yesterday that he was dead. I told them that I already knew…thank you for nothing…and get my boy back here in two days. I am going to have him shown just to show the people what is happening to our boys in a foreign country where they are sitting ducks in a gallery!

Gelenda and Mary Ann – I would urge you to find a doctor you trust. It’s fine to seek a second, or sometimes even a third opinion!

Hi all – I am unable to find out where the second clinical center that is testing out this new device. All the press releases have been saying Austin Heart Center is the first of two. I will try to find out what the second one is.

I, also, have an artery that wil be totally blocked soon, I think. My doctor has me in a surgical stocking (for about the last four years now) and I also have had foot surgery. I can’t walk far, due to the foot surgery, which was botched. Stocking on left leg;
foot surgery was right foot. He told me to walk, but knows now that I can’t do that due to pain in foot. Is this new treatment
for blockage available in the St. Louis Area? (Washington University, St. Louis University? or the other area hospitals?)) Thanks for your time and information. (The doctor who did the
botched foot surgery is NOT the doctor who did my carotid artery
surgery and is truly a DOCTOR worthy of the name.) Thanks again.)
