Socialized Medicine takes another one from me.
« on: March 13, 2013, 05:32:17 PM »
 The 18th of last month my oldest cousin was buried in Sicily,he was 64.Never ill in his life (from what I'm told)he went to the local hospital 2 weeks prior to have a good going over as his younger brother is a doctor there.

  CANCER in one lung and it was building water around his heart. Since his brother is not a cancer specialist he was sent to a "CLINIC'in northern Italy that is supposed to be "THE"place to go.He was checked in early in the morning and the "Doctors"came to see him an confirm his illness,which they did.

  He and his family was told that they wanted to run tests starting in the A.M. and that was that.In the A.M. the went to his room and he was found dead. You see his heart could not keep on beating with all the water that had built up around it.Nobody thought about maybe draining some of it before putting him in his room.

  And that's the second one that those bastards killed in my family,the other being my uncle Mike that I buried on

I fully expect that I will get left at the curb for the recycling truck...

Gunsmith says he's gonna have me stuffed and set on the couch.  (I'd appreciate it if he'd dust me off once in a while.)

Sorry about your loss, JF.

  What sucks is that I finally was able to get in touch with him after 54 years and this happens.I had so many questions for him and now I'm back to not knowing.I just am having a hard time with missing somebody that hasn't been there in 54 years and I don't understand why I feel as bad as I do.

 I found out about this days ago and wasn't able to say anything about it because I break out into tears and that's not me and I just don't get why my reaction to this mess.

John, I'm so sorry to hear this.
I don't have a way with words that could provide any consolation, but just know that I'm truly saddened by your loss.
