and the President carrying on this w/e on any show that would have him reminded me of a little girl unable to come to grips that her parents are unable to get that pony she wants and is threatening to hold her breath till she gets it.

I guess it just whoosed right over your heads that nearly all the healthcare reform bills being formed (not the Senate bill) will stop the above type of thing from happening to his friend.
But you guys keep fighting to maintain insurance company and healthcare system abuses we have right now - way to go

What happened is, in the first colonoscopy, the guy told the patient that it looked like cancer, and it was a major obstruction(the obstruction is the reason there were symptoms.) The results of the biopsy (of the obstruction) came back negative (no cancer.) The guy who did the first colonoscopy said that didn't make sense, and it needed to be repeated. Unfortunately, the patient was far more interested in getting the 2nd colonoscopy than his Health Net Doctor (in other words not that concerned he had an almost total blockage of the colon.) Later, she said "Well, it did come back negative." At this point influential people got involved, and a next day appointment with a Santa Monica "To the Stars" Gastroenterologist (who doesn't take HMO) was scheduled. The same thing happened though(when the hotshot doctor performed his own colonoscopy.) Looks like tumor blocking, but biopsy was negative. It made no sense to him. So, then, a virtual colonoscopy was performed. In that, they saw a growth on the outside of the colon was growing inward. So, they were getting negative biopsies because they kept taking the inner colon wall(the tumor was pushing from in behind that colon lining.) So, it was not a typical case. Lucky that it created symptoms, and lucky to have money.
