I won't follow the herd any more...

It has been a really long day, followed by a dinner out with multiple margaritas, so I am ready post my first LBT Rants and Raves post.

I won't follow the herd anymore. Ever. I stopped doing that years ago when I realized that I made every decision based upon how I could make the most people happy (or prevent conflict). That's simply not healthy. And it takes all the fun out of life.

I hate absolutes. Absolutely hate them. :) I can't stand to lump a group of people together for any reason. All people at LBT are not sweet and perfect. All people at OH are not cheerleaders and ***** supporters. All Muslims are not extreme radicals. Not all of us Texas women are Southern Belles (ok so that one is debatable). All women are not subservient (ok I know you ladies agree with that one). We are all, quite simply, just people.

I don't want to be told I have to do something because it is the Christian thing to do. Are you my priest? My rabbi? My high priestess? Where do people get off on judging other people????? I don't freakin' get it. Each of us have own spirituality or lack of it. Each of us have our own moral core - although some are harder to identify than others. Don't attack me because I don't agree with you - hire a yes-man for that job - it doesn't pay enough for me to take it. And don't push your personal belief system off on me.

I like most people. Really I do. And I get along with most people. Some people just get to me, and I don't have to like them. There is no rule about that. There is only one person on my bad list at the moment, and if I ever get a personal apology that person will come off the list. You and I don't have to like the same people or have the same ideas to be friends. I prefer friends who are different from me. If I wanted everyone to be like me - well then I would become a hermit(ess) and just have ME for companionship.

I love our differences. I love the passion in which so many of us debate what we believe in. I just hate the herd mentality that says we all have to believe the same thing, or like the same people, or hate the same people....because ya know what? We don't. We are different. Our differences make us unique and teach us more about life than any book will.

And one more thing. I rarely drink and I really love Margaritas! :whoo:

Wendell, you should contact Dr. Kuri and tell him that Sandy's implicated him in breaking US law. Maybe that'll light a fire under her.

That pretty much says it all. Sandy's a liar. And according to the courts, a thief.

There are some statements that are so perfect and true that one simply cannot add anything to them.

Unfortunately, Wendell, I won't be PMing anyone anything at OH. I had them delete my account after I got attacked by Psycho-Bitch.

Oh, I'm quite certain that some Kuri patients will have questions for him about this eventually.

And let him know that she did it on a major surgery board that has thousands of people visiting it. His reputation's at stake.

I understand completely.

Well, as they used to say:

"The truth is out there"

Well, all Dr. Kuri would have to do is read this thread to understand who his "Patient Educator" really is.

Or he could just pick up the telephone and call Dr. Neal.

They already have. A few have canceled surgery when they discovered Sandy was working for him on a contractual basis.

Well, if I found out that my surgeon employed former Nurses whose licenses were revoked in 2 different states, I would cancel my surgery too!

She's been claiming for so long that she works for Kuri that nobody believed her. When they discovered that for once it is actually true they canceled surgery.

Can't say I blame them.

Say, did you ever see this post?

Compare the post to what Dr. Neals office manager said to me when I contacted them about this.

I'm halfway tempted to go to Dr. Kuri's website and send them an email about what Sandy said about him violating US law, just to see what the reply was. Might be interesting. Heck, might get her fired. It's more and more tempting, the more I think about it.

Well, you know what they say, giving in to temptation is FUN!
