I am a fan of both Dr. Gupta and Dr. canada goose parka uk My first husband passed away in 1979 and I am told he was the first ever diagnosed with Chromosome 17 Disinhibition Dementia, Parkinsonian, Amyotrophy Complex.

My canada goose hybridge lite uk once brilliant son began to deteriorate in his thirties and we were estranged from his father family since I divorced him due to frightening behavior. However I did go to see him in Columbia in NYC where he was diagnosed and I was told my son had a 50% inheritance chance.
canada goose My once brilliant son began to deteriorate in his early thirties and has been hospitalized for the past 12 years. However one research doctor put him out of the research because he did not have tau or progranulin disorders. He was declared well by this one doctor. My son is still hospitalized with a new diagnosis of Incurable Paranoid Schizophrenia and although there were some family members diagnosed as schizophrenics, no research doctor will anwer us because of the findings of this one doctor. However this is still research. The DDPAC site is 17 q 21 22, while there is a schizophrenia site at 17 q 21.

3 Years ago my mum had a severe stroke, an ambulance was called as she couldn see and was talking jibberish, unfortunately the inexperienced and uncaring emergency room staff kept her waiting for 3 hours she looked ok to them We had to keep asking for them to help, but thankfully she had taken aspirin that morning. Stroke symptoms can come on quickly and can be undistinguishable from other illness and the person may be completely unaware anything is happening.

Both my maternal grandparents had strokes. My grandmother had three severe strokes when I was between 7 and 12 years old. When my mother had a stroke at 47, I knew the signs and called 911 the paramedics (yes, paramedics) didn believe it was a stroke and asked me several times if she had been drinking. Seriously??? When my grandmother had her last stroke, we were in the emergency room for hours trying to canada goose jacket uk get a doctor to look at her. Moral of story learn signs, INSIST on treatment.

Most people wait because they can afford the care. Because of ME!!! I kissed my way up to VP at a health insurance company. Now I take over $600,000 of your health care dollars for NO VALUE ADDED to your health care. And that’s just me. Now think about how many other VPs, Directors, Managers, etc. are at my company alone. Now multiply that by thousands of others at hundreds of other health insurance companies. From 10 to 25% of your health care dollars go towards administration that adds NO VALUE to your health care. But my company’s PAC dollars will continue to fool you little people into thinking that a single payer system will be bad. Little people like you are so easy to fool. Little people also don’t realize that a single payer system is the ONLY system that would allow little people (as an entire country) to negotiate better health care prices. Little people don’t realize that the Medical Cartels already know that. And that is the reason why the Medical Cartels spend so much PAC money from the hospitals and doctors lobbying against a single payer system. Some little people say that a single payer system would cost you little people more. But if that were true, then wouldn’t the hospitals and doctors WANT that extra money? Yes they would. So why do the Medical Cartels lobby against a single payer system? It’s because the Medical Cartels know it would allow little people to negotiate better health care prices. And that’s what the Medical Cartels are afraid of. Period.
But us big wigs at insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmacy companies don’t ever need to worry about health care no matter what it costs. We get our health care paid for one way or another by you little people. And we get the little people that work at our companies to contribute to our PACs. And us big wigs say it’s to protect the little peoples’ jobs. But in reality it would be in the little peoples’ best interest to NOT contribute to the PAC. Again, little people are so easy to be fooled. I won’t ever have to worry about losing my job with so many little people being brain washed by the Medical Cartels’ PAC money. Not only that, the Medical Cartels’ PAC money is used to elect so many republicans that will never allow a single payer system. Republicans have always fought against any meaningful health care reform. But that’s what our Medical Cartels’ PACs pay them for. Politicians can be bought so easily.
