    A nurse explained to me that he's nicknamed the angel of death because he gets off on telling people bad news. Plus since uninsured patients who end up in ICU never actually end up paying their bills, he feels that gives him reason enough to treat 'em like trash.

    At first, my instincts were to hunt him down to let him know what I think about him. But then I realized the best thing to do would be to pay him the total amount due right when I got home so that he'd have second thoughts about treating someone else like that.

    You know there isn't a thing in the world I wouldn't do for Kori or you or those beautiful little babies.

    Which includes hunting down sadistic, narcissitic physicians.


    Just saying.

    That is some sick . Really disturbing.


    Way to stick through that fight, that must have been scary as . Most regulars here know my religious views, and if I were ever in your situation (or something similar) I would try to not give me any other option but survive. Of course, it's easier said than done, and there are many factors we simply can't control.

    Thanks for sharing. Enjoying every day alive has always been in my mentality/nature, but stories like these really put things in perspective.

    He reminds me of one of those Saw movie victims that Jigsaw tortures.

    I know defending the angel of death is like defending bonner, but it looks like he at least provided some good motivation. He was the Byron Scott to Timvp's 2003 Stephen Jackson.

    Wow, I didn't know any of that - an incredible story of perseverance and survival. I can only hope that neither of you ever have to go through something like that again.

    Sorry to hear that the medical staff communicated so poorly and had so little time for you - we all know they're busy, but they don't have to be such arseholes. I've seen much the same thing with my friend when he was in hospital, especially the doctors, although the nurses have usually been better. I can also understand why you hate hospitals - I hate them too, and I've only ever been a visitor!

    All the best for the future,

    Ruff

    PS Out of interest, do you know what the nasty British 18C bacteria was called? Sure you didn't have the Black Plague?

    What a story of survival. I'm glad the forum's prayers didn't fall on deaf ears, and you and your family had the courage to pull through! Especially for your kids' sake.

    Regardless of whether you believe in a higher power, you definitely have a purpose for still being around. I hope you live each day in fulfillment and make tons of peoples lives better...that's a great way of thanking all who prayed for you and paying yourself back for the hard times of the past. Thanks for enlightening us on your challenges with an inspirational story timvp.

    timvp, what a story! Thanks for sharing the emotions and details. We can all benefit from knowing about your experience.

    One question. If the Spurs had held on to Scola, would all of that have happened to you?

    Sorry, always looking for the Scola angle.

    So glad you are back and cherishing every moment of life.

    Wow that story was like reading chicken soup for the adult soul. I have to say very inspiring that I have saved it in a file on my computer.

    I guess this explains why Peter Holt stretched the lockout through Thanksgiving...he needed to give you time to heal before the season.

    Glad you're on the mend. We're better because of it.

    Wow....I don't know you and I am not a known person on here at all really, but I am extremely proud of your strength to fight your way back, Kori for being Supermom, and the Spurstalk community for all the support. This was a truly emotional story to me and I am so very happy you pulled through.

    This was by far the most intense and inspiring story I've read anywhere in a very long time. You are right about how hard times can make us see what really matters. I guess it's easier said than done , but we all need to learn to not sweat the small stuff.
    You are truly blessed to have such an amazing woman in your life and to be surrounded by the love of her and your children.
    This cast of characters known as Spurstalk is an interesting little pocket of folks. I'm sure most of them, like myself, are thankful for you and Kori, and wish all the very best to your family. Stay well and go Spurs go!!!
