- DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MEDICARE PATIENTS IS WIDESPREAD.EG: BAYLOR MEDICAL CENTER DALLAS,TX ANESTHESIOLOGISTS REFUSE CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS DUE TO POOR REIMBURSEMENT.THE MEDICARE PATIENTS ARE ASSIGNED TO LESS EDUCATED,LESS SKILLED,LESS EXPERIENCED NURSES(CRNA''S). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE HIGH RISK MEDICARE PATIENTS. DO OTHER HOSPITALS ENDORSE THIS PRACTICE?

- As a stroke survivor, I have found that doctors know nothing about stroke rehabilitation. Only stroke forums on the net seem to have good information and that comes from stroke patients doing their own research. Even the national stroke organizations don''t seem to serve survivors, they have lost their mission

- Being a stroke survivor I have found that no doctors have any knowledge of stroke rehabilitation, all the patients are basically on their own, The networking forums are the only place to get information. Even the national stroke organizations are not there for stroke survovors. They seem to have lost their mission.

- As a member of "PATIENTS LIKE ME" (PLM), I''ve found the intersction between patients most helpful, and at times, extremely courageous!
I have had Psrkinson''s Ddisease (PD)for 32+ years, and based on what I''ve been through during that time, I like to use what I''ve been through to help and encourage those who have been recently diagnosed ... to let them know that a diagnosis of PD is not the end of the world.
Forums like PLM provide the "vehicle" for me to accomplish that goal!

- I would advise anyone diagnosed with this sort of condition to investigate carbon monoxide in their environment, and the possibility of Celiac Disease. -- Those two things mimic MANY other conditions, and are far more common than thought. Check furnaces, clean filters, and try eating without wheat for a month. -- You could cure yourself.
