When you call 911, where you live could make all the difference…

Posted on 12 March 2008

I am talking from my own personal experience now. I have unfortunately needed hospitalisation at least eight times in the last four months, of which five were in intensive care.

All were for breathing difficulties.

The ambulance arrives and try to stabilise my breathing long enough to get me safely to hospital…..

And here is the rub.  They want to take me to the closest hospital which makes sense until you find out that the closest hospital to you is a community hospital less than half a mile away, and has the barest of facilities and a skeleton staff made up of doctors whom in the words of one of them – doesn’t want to deal with difficult cases.

My struggle with Pulmonary Fibrosis

Posted on 11 March 2008

Dear readers,

I am sorry that I have not been able to post for a while but I was hospitilised for the last two weeks with a chronic condition that causes scarring in the lungs and is a rheumatological diasease.

This diasease makes breathing extremely difficult and I am now required to wear oxygen most of the time unless i have one of those rare good days that are few and far between. I will ofcourse try my best to post on a daily basis and hope to have some nice interviews lined up over the course of the next two weeks

There is nothing more painful for a parent than to see their child suffer. The agony of feeling utterly helpless when he cries in pain is beyond description. The constant and continual fear that your child will be lost before he can receive the treatment that will save him is almost unbearable. Adding impact to [...]

Make A Wish!

Posted on 28 December 2009

Growing up I had always heard of Make A Wish, knew the basic premise of what they did, but never really appreciated what was involved or how and when the charity begun and where it is today. Luckily for me, their website Wish.org provides an extensive biography of the charity and the work it performs. [...]

This is a story about the best and worst that humanity has to offer.From the depths of cruelty, despair and hopelessness to the freedom of life, liberty and economic self sufficiency.

Newsweek Needs To Grow Up.

Posted on 17 November 2009

I am no fan of Sarah Palin. I don’t believe that she has any right to be a torchbearer for anything political since giving up the governership of Alaska. Her naked ambitions to run for President are all too apparent, no matter how poorly she attempts to disguise it. Her well timed book publication and its [...]
