The only thing that fascinates me about "Poor Karen" is that she ALWAYS
seems to be the victim. If anthing can go wrong - it does. If there`s
a
wrong decision to be made or an error to be made - it`s ALWAYS down to
someone else`s shortcoming. You`d think that there was a "get Karen"
campaign going on. Frankly it would make you terrified of having to
receive
medical treatment in America, and I can`t believe that THAT`S true!

There *are* people who fall through the cracks. I'm sure that happens
in your country as well as ours. I mentioned in an earlier post that my
husband was denied care because his neurologist said he was faking, and
I have the transcript to prove what he said and the diagnosis he made.
He flatly lied, even though tests proved what my husband had - as
primitive a diagnosis as it was at that time. It wasn't until my
husband lost his eyesight and he sought out the Kellogg Center for eye
diseases that he learned his diagnosis: MS.

It's not always easy and not everyone has the wherewithall to search the
country for doctors. And even if you do, you may not find one that has
the answer you are looking for. You can try to take charge, but that's
all one can do: try. Medical science is complicated and often doesn't
have answers to our questions. Often times doctors disagree about
diagnosis or treatment. With all the medical language to sift through,
it's difficult for a lay person to sort through it all. It also depends
upon even knowing what specialist to go to. Or what your insurance will
cover. I can't imagine what it must be like for someone to be suffering
horribly and not have answers nor insurance to help you get those answers.

I think it's terrible that Karen is being singled out and talked about
here as if she didn't exist. If her posts bore or bother you or anyone
else here, it's a simple matter to ignore them. And it's the kind thing
to do.

Dianne, your best resort is to killfile.

It seems it is their sport to kick Karen, school yard bullying at it's
worst. OTOH it is ok for Caryn to bore everyone to death with
details of her long lists of medications, illnesses etc. for Vic to
relate all her medical history, for Pat to tell us how she knows a
woman who copes far better than Karen - etc etc. all of which they do
over and over again, seemingly not seeing they accuse Karen of doing
that !

If it was not so unkind, it would be hilariously funny, some sort of
farce !


Thanks Sheena. This really needed saying. I guess there's no end to the
misery some people can inflict on others and they don't seem to understand
the concept of "enough is enough."

Everyone doesn't have to love each other, but it would be so nice if they at
least respected each other.
