I know that this is going to piss some of you off but frankly I don't give a damn. The attention paid to recent threads (political/medical care) has caused a dismal neglect of our members that have very serious issues and are facing re-surgeries.
I know that as the class clown or village idiot you may care less what I have to say and again I don't give a damn and I am going to say it anyway. We need to pay more attention to what is going on with some our other members ... those who are worried and scared in the position they find themselves in due to valve failures and the support we give sure has hell does not need to turn in to a mechanical/ tissue debate.
I have a lot of respect for most everyone here and consider many of you friends but we are not medical professionals ... information is one thing but out right "this is the bottom line, truth, way it is" has no place here and can cause harm ... we have lost members due to the dogmatism exhibited on various subjects such as valve type, health care, politics etc ... Fruitful discussion is great but when it turns mean or combative it defeats the purpose of this wonderful resourse....peace out
