Mrs.V lives to fight another day......

It is fine, as long as foolhardiness is borne out of ignorance.The stance taken by Mrs.V,was probably,a child of an uneasy alliance between,? implicit faith in the medical expertise and a devil-may-care attitude,borne out of long and hard battles,with equally sinister ailments,in the past.When a disease process becomes unruly,it somehow finds an ally, not only in the worsening state of the patient,but the total disruption in the rational and logical approach of the medical personnel.It is a situation, best described as unholy and damaging.Doctors tend to get swayed anyway,by anecdotal evidence and opinion of the seemingly wiser colleagues.The fundamental flaw in the actions that follow,is that even when there is complete absence of convictions,investigations are ordered,diagnosis presumed and even treatments are initiated,under the guise of empirical therapy.

I rather be branded as ignorant, and hold a candle, to convictions borne out of documented evidence than fall easy prey to convenient explanations,which never convince anyone,the proponent of the theory or the unfortunate recipient of the consequences,arising out of a flawed process.

The horrendous aftermath of a rampaging,uncontrollable ventricular tachycardia proved the famous adage of a Satan or an evil ,any day more powerful a foe than the protection offered by
godliness of a saint.contd.......
