    Not much choice when "anaesthesia" back then consisted of a big mallet.

    The 1 in 3 syndrome here.

    Surgery,chemo,radiation 5 yrs later still here,mind you small lumps which don't grow much are ok.Would've been dead 5yrs ago to the month but for docs.

    Plus doc hitting a blood vessell needing to pump in 5units double quick didn't help the heart during surgery,woke up groggily with heart monitor hooked up and ecg every 2 hour or so.

    Meet my youngest son, Alex (6yrs) He was 6 weeks prem.. by 4 hours old he was on life support. By the end of day 1, in a coma & not expected to live

    The seriousness of his condition was bought about by incompetent staff & lack of appropriate hospital policies & procedures. I spent the next 4 years taking the hospital to ACC & The Health & Disability Commissioner. I won! The result turned the hospital upside down & sparked a nationwide review of policy.

    Had it not been for the most incredible people I have ever met.. the staff at the Wellington Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit, my son would not be alive today! I simply cannot put into words what being in that place was like & how wonderful the staff were, to Alex & to us. I still get misty thinking about it.

    As you can see by the second pic.. he is very much an alive, vivacious, outgoing, strong willed , gorgeous little boy, whom I would lay down my life in a heartbeat for! He's ADHD (hyperactive/impulsive), my friends describe him as "the energizer bunny on speed", he wears me out, drives me nuts but is one of the two highlights of my life!

    Everyday I thank God for modern medicine!

    I had open heart surgery when I was 4. It saved me. At the time (1976) it took them ages to figure out but once they got it sussed it worked out well.

    It appears that the Chrislost chap whom Mom stuck up for has no balls.

    You are welcome at my house anytime where you can explain to my kids and my wife why you'd like to kill one of my children.

    Coward.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    No one gets out alive. I would have been dead a few times, but then again, maybe not...
