It’s compassion to call people names?! When I reflect on Jesus’ definition of biggies like murder, adultery and so forth, I get much more concerned about applying deodorant to myself than sniffing at others.

I would like to make an apology to everyone who visited this thread and the medical field in general. I was a fool for not giving credit where credit is definitely due. The medical field is loaded with many great, dedicated, and compasionate doctors. I wish I could go back and change the title to this thread. If I could, I would title it: “Can carelessness be more frequently avoided in the Medical field?” My true colors unfortunately were displayed in this thread. I have a difficult time shedding a bitterness that keeps creeping up. My life was almost taken due to a medical mistake over 20 years ago. I am handicapped as a result due to the brain injury it caused.
Believe it or not, I thank God it happened more than I ever let it bother me. Unfortunalely, a similiar medical mistake happened to me a few years ago during an instay at the hospital for this problem that caused my ability to think, reason, and remember go through a living hell (that is no exaggaration). I put my trust in a team of doctor’s decision that was completely unnecessary as I placed my trust more in them than the absolute common sense that kept telling me I shouldn’t proceed, the same common sense this team of doctors should of had that was so prevalent.
I think the only thing (I really should say gift) that prevented me from having far worse permanent brain damage was that I received Holy Communion everyday while I was in the hospital. As you can see, though it doesn’t make it right, this bitterness every once in a while creeps up. Even the second mistake brought out more good in my life than I could ever of had without it. As you can tell, I have a hard head, and speak from my gut at times more than my heart.
Please pray for me to overcome any bitterness. Let’s all try to avoid any bitterness in this thread so we can help the medical field and their patients find better solutions to minimize mistakes.

That’s why medicine is art as well as a science.
Along with medical heros, there’s a percentage of quacks. There’s those with tremendous egos, with no concern for the patient, there’s those who’s only concern is the patient.
The best we can do is to pray for the physicians of this world, seek second or third opinons when it’s a serious condition, and get as informed as you can, keeping in mind that there are good sources on the internet, OK sources, and sources that are just plain wrong.

Yes, let’s all use gentle terms as Jesus did:It’s compassion to call people names?! When I reflect on Jesus’ definition of biggies like murder, adultery and so forth, I get much more concerned about applying deodorant to myself than sniffing at others.
Matthew 12:3434 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 23:3333* You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? *
Matthew 23:27-28Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity

Alas, my friend, those terms and the definitions He gave of mortal sins like murder and adultery, apply at various points in our lives, to all of us…Yes, let’s all use gentle terms as Jesus did:
Matthew 12:34
Matthew 23:33
Matthew 23:27-28

I don’t see that He was accusing the Pharisees of either murder or adultery.Alas, my friend, those terms and the definitions He gave of mortal sins like murder and adultery, apply at various points in our lives, to all of us…

Sorry if my post is confusing, I was referring to your quoted passages as well as to Matt 5: 20-48, where Jesus defines for us what constitutes the mortal sins enumerated in the ten commandments.I don’t see that He was accusing the Pharisees of either murder or adultery.

Trying to make specific medical diagnoses via the internet is very dangerous and fool-hardy. At best you can just get a general idea of a condition and possible treatments. Its best to put your trust in a live doctor. They’re not perfect, but they’re pretty darn good.

Gosh, Old School, I’m very sorry that you had such a bad complication & still struggle & suffer today. I don’t think your true colors were displayed in the first post. Just your understandable anger.I would like to make an apology to everyone who visited this thread and the medical field in general. I was a fool for not giving credit where credit is definitely due. The medical field is loaded with many great, dedicated, and compasionate doctors. I wish I could go back and change the title to this thread.

I think your true colors were displayed in the post I quoted. It takes a very big person to apologize & publicly admit they may have made a mistake. I think you are wise to recognize that you still have anger & bitterness because of what happened. I think that’s only natural, but I am going to pray for you because I worry that it’s not healthy for you. (I’m sure you know that, you seem very wise & enlightened about all of this). Jesus has entrusted you with a very heavy cross to bear, & I’m sure He’s saving many souls through you. I know He’s grateful, & very close to you. I’m sorry for your suffering, & I’m very impressed with the kind of person you are.
