My sympathies for the medical misadventures;
I believe you had a seizure coming off a benzo-
this is not a mystery in many books (e.g. I
posted the Merck Manual chapter on how to detox
people off these); I am sure i had a seizure
or a stroke or both - the event was nothing like
the preceding withdrawal symptoms - it was like
a brain fire. I hate to say this, but I suspect
that nobody wanted to admit to it; the private
dr. i had to call in said i waited too late for
the EEG which she ordered to show it, but i was
too sick to do anything for a month. I know it
was something serious because i felt i was dying
and maybe i was.Suing is out of the question when you are
sick and crazy and do not have the cooperation
of the medical establishment. In my view there
should be "No Fault Insurance" so that there
isn't such a negative confrontation.I've been through other medical mistakes too -
it is not uncommon but if you were to sue for
every little slip up - you wouldn't have a life.Squiggles
