Moreover, I really think you aren't clear on the difference between fact and opinion. For example, you are making an assumption that this woman went to a disreputable or unsanitary place to get treatment, but that's not actually a proven fact. It's your opinion, based on a very limited set of facts.
Maybe you were honestly trying to be helpful by giving your perspective, but making assumptions about the poster's character and blaming her instead of being supportive are very unkind things to do. So your post is not helpful, but simply unkind. I wonder what motivates you to behave this way?
Well, you're right about me not totally comprehending what it was you were trying to say, as your post is rambling and rather incomprehensible. Perhaps you do have extensive knowledge about medical procedures--although I doubt it--however, this was not at all apparent in your post. Not in the least. Just because you make a few assertion (and quite obvious assertions at that, such as the fact that unsanitary practices can lead to infection--hardly a profound insight) doesn't mean you actually have an informed opinion. (And I'm not impressed that you know the phrase "tissue necrosis," by the way.)
I think you've misunderstood what the poster was trying to say, and what's worse, you're calling her a liar. Think whatever you want to think. But I stand behind my assertion that what you've said to this woman is mean. I don't know if I am sensitive by most standards, but I suppose compared to you, I am. And no, I won't refrain from standing up to a bully if I think it's warranted. This is a public forum and I have a right to respond to your post. So it is my business.
By the way, NONE of the other posters have "told the truth" to this woman in the way that you have. For the most part, they have been supportive. And a few people have raised the issue of FDA approval, but not in any sort of counterpoint to what the poster was saying. They were just contributing their ideas. Only YOU attacked her. Perhaps you think people deserve to be attached when they make a mistake or suffer a misfortune. I don't.
Charlene, what an incredibly bitchy response to the original poster. What qualifies you to judge the conditions of this woman's treatment, and to know that only unsanitary conditions could cause and infection? Are you an MD? Your critical thinking skills are poor and your attitude toward this woman is unconscionable.
