Hi Dr. Quiroga,
You're right life is too short to be angry. I thank God for the wonderful
doctors I have met. I kept in touch with my orthopedic doctor that I met
when I was 5 yrs. old until he died at the age of 99. I was angry that my
friend's doctor was going to let her die because he thought she had no
quality of life because she used a vent. I was so scared because she
thought he was right! I worked hard to get her to go to another doctor.
Now she wants to LIVE! And, she has found a competent and caring
physician to do the surgery. Many disabled people have been so beaten
down by society's low expectations. I like to remind people that the
smartest scientist is Stephen Hawking, with his theories of black holes.
Look what he has accomplished despite disability! I think you are a very
caring doctor. My espanol is muy poco. So, I will continue to write in
English. Thanks for taking the time to write to all of us!
