Ep. 651 Austrian School Physician on What’s Wrong with Health Care

I was ASTONISHED how this tied right in with the episode: Ep. 647 Cancer: One Child’s Story, and Lessons Learned

Our Girl, my wife died of AML. Both these podcast really hit me hard.

I’ll be writing my next book on my experiences and lessons learned. I’ve been reenergized by these two podcasts.

WE need to change the system.

Imagine “not having a definition of health” and not having a RIGHT to try anything unobstructed by Gooferment.

Argh!

‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: [screaming at the top of his lungs] “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!” — the character Howard Beale played by Peter Finch in the movie Network (1976)

ARGH!

Remember that when Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats talk about the “Affordable Healthcare Act”, they are not talking about “health”, “health care”, “health care insurance”, or something else. They are talking about CONTROL.

Argh!

*** begin quote ***

What would cause the leading cancer doctor in the world to fly across the country to the funeral of a boy of 8? That’s part of today’s story.

Past guest Roger McCaffrey discusses the terrible ordeal his family endured when they discovered their 4 1/2-year-old son, John, had CML, a stem-cell cancer. The story involves not only a family’s anguish, but also a miracle drug, insurance companies, politics, and the FDA.

He is co-author with brother Eugene of Players Choice: Major League Ballplayers Vote on Their All-Time Greats, which contains a foreword by George H.W.

I listened to this and it saddened me.

It makes me think that I didn’t fight hard enough to save Our Girl, my wife of forty years. 

That thought brings me to tears, literally.

While I thought of 13 things I could have done better, I never sat down an wrote the “PIA: The Patient Advocate Handbook”. 

This podcast moves this project to the front burner. 

Argh!
