Linda- This is Speaker Linda Polley! It's February 18th,
2,005 and "Here's Jesus!" Nazarene, there is a married couple in Florida
that before the holidays, went to get Botox treatments because they thought
it would make them look better for the holidays. They went to a recommended
clinic I believe it's where the husband worked. Anyway, they ended
up being rushed to the hospital having all kinds of health problems.
Their doctor was arrested. It was discovered he wasn't using the legal,
approved Botox treatment but a solution he developed himself, using the same
basic ingredient as Botox. They're hoping the symptoms will pass and
the solution will wear off like Botox does. What are Your comments
on this?
Nazarene- Well, as no one died, Alura, this sick creature
cannot be charged with murder. But I think criminal negligence would
be quite in order. This is why I am so against President Bush's desires
to limit malpractice lawsuits. It is just simply unacceptable!
Too many doctors are simply out of control, and the public has a right to
be reimbursed when these corrupt physicians endanger their lives.
I know there are those that will disagree with me, but something must be
done, and the answer is not letting the physicians get away with it in the
name of public benefit. People must have the assurance that when they
go to a physician he is doing what he is supposed to be doing, and not what
he feels like doing. This is just common sense, Alura! It is
just good old common sense!
Linda- I felt so bad Nazarene, when I saw that report!
The woman is in a hospital bed on a respirator and can't talk. They
asked her what she had to say about what happened and she wrote on a slate
"I don't deserve this!" I hope they punish that doctor big time!
Nazarene- They won't, Alura. He'll get away with some misdemeanor
and a fine. They simply don't care how many people the ignorant kill
or maim. They don't want to upset the system, threaten health care.
