Again I enjoyed this chapter, all the information with-in. Didn't know a lot of the things you have explained. I am learning much, and continuing to pray for you and wife.

I fail to understand why people feel people with disabilities are not worthy people. It makes no sense to me. I encourage you to keep on writing. This will help others in a similar situation.

    Thanks Barbara appreciate your review and comments. It does get political even away from Governments and stuff at times.

I sympathise with you Geoff, it's hard when you need people and they don't support you, you're narrative is well written,I have at least something to pray into! I can but have little I can do, but I can pray, and I will! This was articulate, well expressed, and I'll get to another one you've sent, soon, blessings, Roy.

    Thanks Bro Roy. I think I posted on my Profile I had done a lot of moving around and splitting up of pet and Medical chapters as a Sis in the Lord and friend suggested to spread them through the whole book. Everything is more sequential now. Thanks again

It astonishes me sometimes how far people will go to deny what is right in front of them. I do believe without a doubt that you have relatives that think there is not a thing wrong with you. I've seen it many times as a caregiver. Many of the family members border on resenting their family member for putting them out! They behave as though THEY are the ones suffering. It is an amazing thing to witness. It must be so frustrating to witness that from ones own family. I can't imagine. How can they then ever feel good about themselves? Well, there's a whole book right there! Good chapter. Thought provoking. Mikey

    Yeah my sister has had a heart attack and a hip replacement but she denies I have anything wrong with me. Louise is obvious with her Cerebral palsy but apart from her Mobility problem I have more things wrong with me than she does...but I am her official carer. We reckon she should get a carer payment too as she helps me a lot ha. Thanks for the great review mate. Glad I have a friend in you. Hope you can come Down Undner one day.

Well written short chapter. I learned about all the temperaments you have. I saw no SPAGS and it read easily. No time to start from the beginning.

Fabulous illustration to lift the story. New to reading another Aussie! Totally agree with your voice on the two types of Drs. I have had 27 ops. nine transfusions and an amputated leg. I didn't ask for it - I hate going to any Dr. but it is necessary to keep us pumped with pills! They don't have the answers - pushing pills, treating the whole person is the key. Unfortunately, they are limited to 15mins airtime per patient and wait for us to hit the pay $45 please. Up the Maroons mate!

I would say this is a timely addition. Touching on the subject of doctors is very appropriate in these times.

I'm sorry to say that from experience, some doctors make their patients more sick dus to their uncaring and unsympathetic attitude.

Very true that a considerate and understanding doctor put therapy into the conversations with their patients. Making patients understand what is ailing them is already part of the healing process. It is a puzzle how some medicos just prescribe medicines without telling what they are for.

If we had choices, we should go for doctors who not only treat us but also those who are really interested in helping us get well with the minimum medication.

    hi Dennis not sure if we have met before. Our GP is also a qualified Pharmacist as he learned under his Dad who was a pharmacist. I appreciate how he is always careful not to prescribe unless he deems it absolutely necessary. Appreciate your review look around for your stuff as I have time.

This was "different" but very interesting. I enjoyed it very much, especially the 2 types of Doctors you discuss. In my own experience with Doctors the female ones seemed to be more understand and spent more time with me. At least that is what I found to be the case in my own personal experience. I am going to Google Tim LaHaye's and see what he has to say. I enjoyed your writing and am looking for to the link to the rest of your book. Take care.

    Hi friend well in our case the man was the more caring and easy to deal with. His wife has now retired and we were afraid that when we heard that he would retire too but fortunately not so. She has two Grandchildren so I guess she wants to spend time with them. Appreciate your fine review. This was a very late(even today) addition containing some material I posted before.
    I recently split up some chapters that were concentrating on pets or Medical and now the information on both is spread throughout the book as suggested by a new reviewer and friend. Thanks again. Be looking for your stuff as I have time we all try and help each other in here.

Sometimes, some family members are not supportive. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

    You're welcome, Geoff. The pictures were great. Unfortunately, I write first and seek the image second.
