Some days you have it proved to again that you cannot trust anyone, (not having bad day though!)

Sorry for your loss.

I wouldn't quite describe Faith as my loss, because she had so many friends who knew her even better than i did, (and two sons, grandchildren etc), and some who knew her pointed out her faults as they saw them, perhaps being a "drama queen" at times they suggested, though I'd never seen that side to her.
She was a very very strong lady though, too strong for most men to contemplate a relationship with I'd guess, (if you know what i mean?).

I trust 2 people totally, my husband and our son. Beyond that I trust no one.

You wouldn't want them operating on you though, were you unlucky enough to need life saving hospital treatment!!

DH is too shakey, however our son has some medical knowledge and would be steady.

Still not a job I'd give my child, (a surgeon btw, just to boast once again for a moment, who started honing some necessary skills when working on a tapestry alongside her grandmother - I'll find a photo to show you, from twenty five years ago!).

Here we go, photo taken by my mother using my 35mm film camera, (all pre-digital obviously, and the smartish looking daddy with his feet up is my good self, at half the age I am now, with a more or less full head of hair!):

Maybe there is a chance afterall, (though in general "no, not really"!):

Quote:
"
When the patient is an immediate family member, the physician’s personal feelings may unduly influence his or her professional medical judgment. Or the physician may fail to probe sensitive areas when taking the medical history or to perform intimate parts of the physical examination. Physicians may feel obligated to provide care for family members despite feeling uncomfortable doing so. They may also be inclined to treat problems that are beyond their expertise or training.

Similarly, patients may feel uncomfortable receiving care from a family member. A patient may be reluctant to disclose sensitive information or undergo an intimate examination when the physician is an immediate family member. This discomfort may particularly be the case when the patient is a minor child, who may not feel free to refuse care from a parent.

In general, physicians should not treat themselves or members of their own families. However, it may be acceptable to do so in limited circumstances:

(a) In emergency settings or isolated settings where there is no other qualified physician available. In such situations, physicians should not hesitate to treat themselves or family members until another physician becomes available.

(b) For short-term, minor problems."
