(4,452 posts)For her it was a personal decision that may or may not be correct. For the professionals that advised her and performed the services, I hope they worked to the highest standards of their profession.
For those that want to bitch and moan and pontificate about the issue, I'd advise STFU because even the hand ain't listening.
When you have to deal with the same situation, I'll be the first one to lend a sympathetic ear or a shoulder to cry on. Hell, I'll even paint your porch or cut your grass.
I might even take care of your 12 kids, only for a couple of months, but seriously it's her decision based on her professional advice.
The fact that she discussed her decision in a public forum opens the topic to discussion. I am not a medical professional but I've worked with them for better than 3 decades.
They're trained to think a certain way and fed concepts of what treatments work but most of it is just hooy, BS, shit salad.
Most medical "professionals" have so little training or even exposure to dietary, naturopathic, homeopathic responses to ailments I wonder why we even trust their judgment.
Our so called medical profession doesn't try to cure any ailment, they just try to find ways to sustain you and make you feel better so you will pay the bills.
