Yep. Due to their malpractice (which I feel it was), I've had to endure much unnecessary physical and psychological suffering. Just imagine if those biopsys came back positive for cancer, or what if I had died? It ABSOLUTELY could have been prevented, as could've my 14-year ordeal. It's not like I never told my doctors there was something painfully wrong. http://www.managedcarereform.org/managedcarereform/lewis.html
Though I never actually contemplated suicide, the painful predicament I was in, at the time, led me to believe that such actions would not be so bad. Either way, you raise a very good point that I didn't think of. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Lastly, my state of mind was never so far disrupted to the point of needing counseling. I'm thankful for that, and I can honestly say I no longer suffer psychologically.Corona said:Finally, and most importantly: Don't ever, ever, ever repeat to anyone in this business anything about having wanted to commit suicide, even when you were 14. That is a sure way to never having a pilot certificate. I hope you've gotten some counseling after feeling that way at such a young age.
