Hello! My name is Woody. Here is my testimony before God and Man. I am @52 years old soon & so far 94.25% of doctors involved in my health care haven't been worth spit.
How about YOU? Surely I am not the only one. I've had an exceptional number of accidents in my life, yet not one doctor tested my thyroid. I drove tractor-trailers on/off since 1975, took Dept. of Trans. physicals for McClendon,Carpenter,Howard,Frederickson,Dixie Container, and MANY OTHER COMPANIES, but none ever tested my THYROID so eventually I ended up near killing myself twice from a fall from a truck ('86) and an incident where a 1,000 pound bale fell 7 feet, glanced me, shot me like a rocket, smacked my chest off the ground, clipped my knees, drove my kneecaps into the ground, and smashed my right foot up to my shin bone.
Since I LIVED, I guess they finally had to discover in routine that I had a fine strong thyroid that was making incompatible thyroxin with my body's cells. ALL OF THEM. In effect, my body was running on anger & adrenalin for energy. And coffee. Meantime I actually tried to have a life but had an undiagnosed crack in my lowerback vertebrae, so after high school I became a cripple just as soon as gym classes didn't keep me in shape & I started doing labor jobs because I ran into an extremely smart group of people who told me there wasn't any need to go to college because the World was about to become an Armageddon Zone. I was suffering a side effect of mental confusion from the thyroid anyway since no "doctor" saw a need for any tests. I gained weight, and many of my "Friends" thought I didn't have much Faith. I married, but soon that was on the rocks because I was so "lazy" & seemed to be a heathen more than a Christian.
Why would I now at my age decide to write this on the Internet? Well, the United States medical community is doing to EVERY ONE OF YOU -AND YOUR FAMILY- the same thing they did to me. The vaunted American Health Care System is a SHAM. They do a minimal physical and charge top dollar for every minute they spend on You. My oldest boy's doctor in Roanoke Virginia left his little infant son laying on a cot with no rails and my grandson rolled off the cot and hit the hard floor. Friends, I'm writing this to open YOU ALL's EYES because this kind of stuff is happening EVERYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES! AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY. I also want to know why they blast us for wanting to sue the pants off them for INADEQUATE JOHNNY-COME-LATELY SERVICE because that is how I've lived this long, by relying on God Almighty and not the American Doctor.
I have been on total disability since Mar. 27, 1989 when the bale hit me, contacting me 3 times as it slid down me like a juggernaut from Hades. My lifelong bipolar & thyroid problems that SHOULD HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED LONG AGO caused me to make a misjudgement and I should have died. And now I'm BACK and I'm madder than ARNOLD has ever been! Our so-called "SYSTEM" of medical care CLAIMS IT IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD... but since few of us live anywhere but here how the heck are we supposed to know? Friends, I KNOW. Our medical people do nothing and let us have plenty of accidents so they can come running up to SAVE US like they are some kind of God. Well, I have 52 years of living as testimony that our medical community lets us go so we have accidents and then they GET TO CHARGE THE BIG BUCKS.
After the explosion took me down, the bale, I was further traumatized in the hospital. Large doses of Morphine were given me unnecessarily, so I was in shock from the accident AND shock from being OD'ed with Morphine. When I came to I exited the hospital real fast because I thought I was going to die and I didn't want to die away from home as I was about 270 miles from here. I should have stayed where I was. The doctors back home decided I was an attempted suicide and my "treatment" has been CRAP since that time. 99% of correct medical care I have received that has helped me has been an accident since they all decided I was suicidal and not worth helping. In the Bible there is a parable about a man who was beat up on the road by robbers, & left to die. Few people would stop to help him but one man finally did. Jesus called him a good Samaritan and that man's neighbor.
I've been watching educated people -doctors- walk by me like that beat up old beggar; except I've been watching it happen since 1989... And it has not let up. I have yet to have a doctor offer me a chest MRI. I told one doctor I would like the metal plate taken out of my ankle and he said he could not unless I agreed to ALL the screws coming out & NOT JUST THE PLATE. Seems Medicare won't pay for the reversal unless the screws that don't need taking out are also extracted! And the saga continues. Thirteen years of people who are supposed to be helping me just WALKING ON BY, with sometimes a flimsy excuse but most time not. Am I the only one being screwed over by the VAUNTED HIGH CLASS AMERICAN MEDICAL PEOPLE? I don't think so. I can't allow myself the thought that I'm the only one caught in this drain!
Well, the mis-treatment and all has been a blessing in a way. I started inventing new devices, developing some interesting concepts. As you explore my websites, you will see that I have not sat still. You may think I am some kind of powerhouse even. I assure you I am not. In fact, this time last year (August 2002) my right arm was shaking like Parkinson's, my eyesight was jumpy, my spine was tingling, and Alzheimer's-like lapses of memory were fast becoming severe and often. No doctor saved me. I saved myself. My vitamin regimen, DHEA, numerous health supplements, were keeping me alive. Then suddenly one day it "dawned" on me that I had not taken my Lithium for a day or so and hey!, I sort of felt a little better. So I went without it a little longer & noticed I was feeling a little better some more!
But this is where I stop writing now, and I'm going to copy some faxes onto this site in succession after this page. I wrote them to my last doctor. I will alter his name somewhat so he cannot sue me. When you read these faxes, your eyes will open WIDE as you come to understand the extent to which I have been tortured, left to suffer while DOCTORS WALK BY ME needing their help... but, after reading these 5 or 6 faxes I want YOU to reflect, ask yourself what would happen to YOU if you fell into the meat grinder. IF a doctor gave YOU a vasectomy that took away 85%+ of the sexual pleasure YOU used to have. And then the basturds backed the doctor up saying "Mr. Riley, there IS NO MAIN NERVE WHERE THE CUT WAS MADE SO IT JUST CANNOT BE TRUE.". Yeah. Try that on, then feel the hate, the disgust, when the articles appear in the paper where the doctors are crying about how they are getting SUED TOO MUCH?!
NEXT PAGE X CLICK HERE. Not yet. Under construction. ASAP, just bookmark and come back around mid-September 2003. I'm doing this as fast as I can because somebody has to stand up and TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICAN DOCTORS AND THEIR IGNORE-THE-PUBLIC MACHINE THAT GUARANTEES THEM PLENTY OF OLD FOLK TO DOCTOR ON.
