   I got he same "enjoy this medical annoyance forever."   
      
   Mine is wearing compression wear on my left leg & foot, due to irreperable   
   massive swelling(edema) in both. &, more rercently, the need to use a CPAP when   
   sleeping.

   Yup, that's why we make doctors take 8+ years of university then a year or two   
   of residency dealing with ER (usually) situations.   
      
   The nurses union is tryingt o claim t hey deserve ttop be paid the same as   
   dctors bnecause they iknow as much & do as much.   
      
   Umm, how many nurses have 9 years of student loans to pay off? How many pay   
   rent(or lease) on a medical office? & pay for a nurse, to boot!   
      
   I like nurses (in my job, I get more done quicker by going to the nurses   
   instead of the doctor directly)   
      
   Doctors are expertts in anatomy & medical diagnostics & treatment of it.   
   Nurses' key job is patient care(i.e. focused on the patients, rather than   
   focused ona disease)   
      
   When I came out of my 60-hour coma, after my aneurysm.  The neurologist greeted   
   me, after being paged, & explained I had had an aneurysm bursdt, & what that   
   is, & thart he'd done a lifesaving surgery called a 'clipping' & explained   
   that, too.   
      
   Then he adds, "I don't usually7 operate on those; usuyally I just do an   
   autopsy."   
      
   Umm, yeah, great bedside manner, Doc!   
      
   A nurse later explained thatr neuroloigists spend 90% of their work time   
   working direectly on unattached brains, so ;ack in many basic social skills.   
      
   Oh well, I was happy to find out that even though only 2% survive this,. I was   
   in that 2%!   
      
   Most of those survivers were out in public, or with a loved one, when they   
   collapsed, so someone called 911 immediately.  I was alone(physically), at   
   home, yet here I am, still comlaining(I'm cutting back) & breathing.   
      
   So, yes, I thank God regularly that I am here to continue my life's mission,   
   whatever it is(or they are). . .   
      
   Beats working, as I always say, sometimes. (while working *LOL*)
