Update on Shannon's sister, Cindy:
She talked to a few doctors and basically they are all giving her the run around. One is telling her that her heart is fine, its anxiety (well duh, no one can get their shit together so she is stressing out...of course a large part of her heart problem is anxiety), another is telling her that her heart is okay but the veins are clogged, and a different doctor is telling her that she needs heart surgery...
.
She had the obstruction in her brain checked out and it is a small aneurysm. Its nothing to serious to worry and stress over right this moment, however it is something to monitor. Its in an awkward spot of the brain. The doctors want to check up on it...get this...annually. Are you serious?! What is wrong with these doctors...its basically a tumor and they are only going to monitor it once a year?
.
That's not the worst part...Cindy is going to New York to see another doctor about her heart condition...when her regular doctor found out they told her that they couldn't see her anymore because she was basically being a trader (I'm paraphrasing of course) and because she is going to their "competition" they wouldn't be able to help her anymore. WHAT THE HELL! This isn't retail where you are watching your numbers and making sure that you are doing better that your competitors...this is the practice of medicine...your patient comes first...saving lives is priority! Ridiculous...my jaw about dropped to the floor when my dad was telling me all this. These so called "doctors" need to pull their heads out of their asses. Unacceptable. Makes California doctors look like gods. So, basically, there isnt much of an update...the only new thing we know is that the thing in her brain is an aneurysm...everything else is still unknown.
.
Makes you feel better about living anywhere but Pennsylvania...
.
Still thinking of you Cindy...
