He was doing on a job in apartment complex on North Beach and he was fixing a pipe he scraped his finger tiny little scratch. His arm swelled up he was having fever in less than 24 hours. He has to have three surgeries and his arm is noticeably smaller than his other. Thankfully he survived but he was close to not surviving. He was in icu for almost a month this is real and people should be very careful. Sorry for the loss of this poor man

How do you think a doctor gets good at his job, do you think it’s from medical school or do you think it’s from years of having patience tell him stuff. I understand you think doctors know it all, but I can tell you right now. There are many doctors who did it because their dad did it and they hate their job. There’s doctors that barely graduated medical school. And with somebody with a illness that has made me have to go to the doctor a few times a year for the last 30+ years… I can tell you right now in the last five years medical care has gone way down - there has been a change, and I’ve met my fair share of stupid doctors here of recent. One of the doctors even thought it was important to know the color of my necklace… and given that I’m gay and it was pink, I can tell you exactly why she put it in there… It’s Iowa and they like to code people. Now I see a doctor Minneapolis.

We KNEW it was that (especially because I used to be a hypochondriac and sepsis was one of my biggest fears) and when they did the test it WAS sepsis. It was caught early because of our persistence so he survived it (blood test showed that his white blood count was normal). Unfortunately his body wasn’t healing and he died due to kidney failure (dialysis didn’t work for him) but why did it have to take a normie like me to look at his surgery wound and realize it’s infected but they couldn’t? Isn’t it their job?

We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?
