I've just spent a very stressful week in hospital after my sons lung collapsed, I've run the whole spectrum of emotions. I've been scared witless that he would die, every day watching x-rays to see if his lung would inflate, would it stay up, will it reoccur, I've done battle with well paid sad muppet so called experts who were more interested in their own egos and positions than in the best care for my son, spent every second possible by his bed scared to go to the loo in case someone appeared and decided to do something THEY and their egos thought best.
I've seen the haggard anxious desperate faces of mothers and fathers whos children are seriously hurt waiting to see if their precious loves will recover.

Then I come on here and it's the same old rubbish, people picking on people, others taking the moral high ground, my subscription notice just came up and I just just don't know that I can be bothered...

Hope your son makes a speedy recovery.

I'm afraid it will never stop...that is the nature of the beast. It has been going on for the last 4 years to my certain knowledge...only the names change.

Hope your son continues to improve.

I often post that sort of thing in an arguement ....like do you know we are at war ....

I do hope you son will be ok and his health will get better quickly ........I nearly lost my son some years back cost of lung problems ...really hard to know what to do for them when they are struggling for air

I some how manage to have the good fortune to miss the majority of these arguments/bully sessions. Unfortunately, I don't think they can be stopped as there will always be someone looking to cause trouble (you wouldn't credit it on a grown up forum where you have to pay to be a member), it's sad but true (just as you wouldn't except the Samaritans to have to put up with crank calls).

I'm glad your son seems to be on the mend now and you're right there are more important things, but don't let the losers drive you away. You just have to ignore them and go about your own business. We'd miss seeing you around.

Sorry to hear you've just had a stressful time, I hope your son is feeling much better now Blue eyes.
I tend to miss most of the carry ons. I tend to just breeze in and out anyway, as I find it's best not to get drawn in.

Hi Blue Eyes :)

Sorry to hear about your son, sending positive thoughts that he makes a good recovery.

Getting backwards and forwards from here can be a right nightmare at times. I think its the worst thing they could ever do in shutting down Haslar.

I agree with that Colin, we were lucky he wasn't struggling for breath and we didn't go in rush hour so probably took us about 15-20 mins, I can only imagine how long that would have took at rush hour.
I wonder if they will ever be honest enough to admit how many people die because of the extra time it takes to get to Q.A.

Mrs Blue eyes, I hope your boy gets well very soon and stays well.
Two years ago we sat at the bed of our son too, and he was also their because of the egos of doctors. He nearly died because of the ego of one *so called specialist* who thought he knew best.
So I know exactly what you have been through and I feel for you.
As for people growing up... you will never change human nature, there will always be people you don't like and people who get *right up your ****, but please stay we need you .

Hope that your son makes a full recovery.

I agree about the petty ramblings that seem to make some folks happy, I try to steer clear of threads that get heated or silly.


Love and Peace
