As I was reading Gina's blog, I was freaking out.<BR/><BR/>I'm so relieved to know this wasn't true. Thank you, to your blog and the efforts you have done to exposing these lies.<BR/><BR/>I want to add that I have every reason to believe in the excellent care at Fairview. My infant son had a successful complex congenital heart defect repair, and I have had hospitalizations and procedures.<BR/><BR/>I would like to know a little more about the history of the uncovering of these lies. I am a medical doctor (pathologist), and although I thought some things strange, I mostly bought the story hook, line, and sinker. The parts that really seemed unlikely I figured the patient (or family) was just embellishing.<BR/><BR/>What made you suspect it and what were the initial things you did to confirm it?<BR/><BR/>Again, I want to thank you for the peace of mind you have restored to me.Deron Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222818498103201571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-85306124224867468612008-08-22T11:00:00.000-07:002008-08-22T11:00:00.000-07:00Isn't the picture MIA!!

The dog picture and the face shot. Everytime I'd log on I would mentally note that they didn't look like the same person. Why this didn't send up some red flags for me, I'm not sure. I don't have enough medical knowledge to have spotted the inconsistencies in the story, but I noticed the picture thing every day and just let it go.<BR/><BR/>I'm kinda laughing at myself for not asking questions every time I took note of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-23321222621591169422008-08-20T10:30:00.000-07:002008-08-20T10:30:00.000-07:00I used to work for a medical group at Fairview, th...I used to work for a medical group at Fairview, though not the U campus. I was also surprised at times at the level of care I read about on FOP. I've had friends in the hospital who weren't treated well (not that particular facility), but I know they have some truly phenomenal doctors there, and it was really scary to think they would let someone choke on their secretions, not suction frequently, and let the monitors screech without trying to help. Those are the types of things that would make me choose a different hospital, that's for sure! I hope Fairview does address this.Artiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290523837110241711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-69019709934290849132008-08-20T08:24:00.000-07:002008-08-20T08:24:00.000-07:00That's a good question, I too have wondered what m...That's a good question, I too have wondered what might have happened if she weren't busted.

I'm sure there is something going on with her, but the fact that it has been so long and she keeps being given a short time to live but never dies and the fact that the site is used for such monetary gain (nothing like CFhusband) doesn't seem right. Also the mother and her write the same way and both spell words like "painful" and "wonderful" with two ll's (painfull). I know there's enough to look into with Gina but I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that is skeptical about this.nonamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261110968160120742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-14017953319689164872008-08-19T21:14:00.000-07:002008-08-19T21:14:00.000-07:00And I just feel the need to add that I am now of t...And I just feel the need to add that I am now of the opinion that Paul is innocent and has been along. <BR/><BR/>No animosity here, man. : )jz101https://www.blogger.com/profile/14578273183833355472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-48506130418733754192008-08-19T20:49:00.000-07:002008-08-19T20:49:00.000-07:00Oh, and I linked them to both FOP and DWT.

Obviousely due to Hipaa laws she would be unable to give me any information even if she knew it but it makes me sad that Gina would defame a wonderful hospital, a hospital that gave my own little boy the chance to live.

I didn't start reading it until July, so I didn't know what hospital she was supposedly in. I saw some posts in the guestbook from people in other countries, so I wondered if she was in another country with sub-par care! My son had a lung transplant and I continued to read unfathomable things happening, and I thought that those doctors handle things extremely differently than they did at St. Louis Children's. I could hardly believe it, yet I did! When she was supposed to be in extreme pain that weekend I hurt so bad for her and knew my son never had that level of pain and I could hardly think about it....but I prayed for her when I did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
