Folks, I have had the benevolent fortune to have been married the most wonderful woman inside and out that an ugly old cuss such as myself didn't deserve. We were married for 40 wonderful years.
Several years ago, she developed C.I.D.P. diagnosed by one considered foremost in his field of neurology and was subsequently treated with i.v.i.g. every other week where a therapist drove from about 150 miles away to administer the infusions.
I can hardly type the foregoing without tearing up but in the latter part of February, this year, she died from a heart attack. SHE WAS GIVEN AND E.K.G. several months before her passing and was found to have no issues. I had to rush her to the emergency room several times because her blood pressure dropped precipitously. She was released with no conclusion or medication!
This doctor is in Houston and I know that we are not supposed to name individual physicians and I will abide by that although, being designed to thwart lawsuits, it surely hides, by tacit consent, to allow questionable practitioners to continue without accountability on a casual basis.
The coupe de gras or the straw that broke the camel's back is that I informed him, by email, of the date and fact of my dearly beloved wife and HIS OFFICE NOR HE, EVEN HAD THE COMMON COURTESY TO OFFER CONDOLENCES OR ANY FORM OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT EXCEPT THAT I HAD REQUESTED AN CONFIRMATION OF DELIVERY OF THE EMAIL MESSAGE. HE DID CONFIRM THAT IT HAD BEEN DELIVERED.
TO attempt to protect others, I am thinking of responding to individual replies to the above.]
This doctor is in Houston, Texas, Methodist Hospital.
May God be with you!
Joe
