any faith healers out there?

[jpfirestones]

Please don't think I am mad, but I soon will be going into hospital to have my thyroid and goitre removed, which is pressingn on my windpipe. My surgeon said as my neck is short, this will have more complications for him!!! As you can understand I DO NOT want this op and I am wondering if there are any Healers out there or if anyone knows of any who are totally trustworthy. PLEASE HELP as this fear is totally taking over my life.
Thank you in anticipation.

jp.....now just calm down.

I do not believe that your surgeon said was what you have interpreted it as. He almost certainly said that having a short neck made the operation technically more difficult.

Would be lovely to operate on thin, long necks all the time, but nature will not have it that way.

He has probably operated on dozens of people with short necks.

Stop all this nonsense about Faith Healers as the surgeon knows what he is doing.

Good luck.

I also have a goiter but, mine has now reduce. I used a herbal product called Comfery, in a powder form, you take it two weeks then give it a rest then try it again like above and see. It is not something you take continuously has you don't want to make your illness worse. Also look up medication on web called: Synthorid which i have just found after reading an article on someone with this illness sounds better.

jp - I had my thyroid gland removed 3 years ago - best thing I ever did - have never felt better in myself after years of over activity of the thyroid gland.

That was very insensitive of your surgeon to say that to you - the position they put you in whilst doing the operation is to tilt the head backwards - so I cannot understand why having a short neck would be a problem.

I don't think any healers will cure this medical problem jp.

Try not to worry - once you recover you will be so pleased you had this done.

DEN....c'mon..............if you tilt a short neck backwards, it's still a short bleedin neck...ffs

What Dr's actually say to patients and what patients tell other people what the Dr said are quite often two different things.

Sqad - they do tilt the head slightly backwards for this operation - I couldn't have this done because I have spondolysis in my neck it wasn't a good outcome (but I will not go into details for obvious reasons).

I have also watched this operation on Discovery Health channel (sit back and wait for him to laugh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Did you ever perform this operation when you were a practising surgeon ?

So the choices are either to go into a modern hospital with a trained surgeon doing a routine operation or dance around a burning pole naked while chanting to the ancient god of Mumra throwing carroway seeds in the air.

Hmm... tough call.

I did not exaggerate about my surgeons comments, my Husband was with me and he was totally disgusted with his outright callouseness and coldness. THAT IS WHY I AM FRIGHTENED But thanks for your interest and than ks to all who tried to help this particular coward!!!!!!!
