Abortionist Accused of Murder

January 20th, 2011

Kermit GosnellWhile trolling the news for article topics I came on one, the subject of which is the stuff of nightmares. Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell has been arrested after a grand jury investigation into his practice. The details of what was uncovered are horrifying! This “Doctor” performed abortions and surgeries in extremely unsanitary conditions all the while ridiculing his patient’s discomfort. One story I read talked about pets and liter boxes being present in the O.R. at the time surgeries were taking place. Unlicensed, under-aged, assistants also participated in operations.

But all of this is merely on top of the real charges. The not- so good “Doctor” is facing third degree murder charges in the death of Karnamaya Mongar, an immigrant from Napal. He allegedly mis- proscribed Mrs. Mongar’s anesthetics. But Gosnell’s offenses don’t stop there. Evidently he has been performing illegal late term abortions for some time. He faces murder charges in the deaths of seven newborns whom he murdered with a pair of scissors. As if it could get any worse, he is suspected in the deaths of hundreds more. And his twisted services didn’t come cheap. He evidently made close to two million dollars as a low rent medical assassin.

Look I as a conservative Anglo- Catholic Christian I detest this “Doctor’s” profession under the best of circumstances. I find the abortion industry (and it is an industry) inhumane and dehumanizing. I don’t care how pretty the flowers in the waiting room or how superficially caring the staff are. But this “physician” is nothing more than a sanctioned serial killed, right down to the ghoulish trophies he kept in jars around his office. In my opinion, this guy is every bit the insane killer Jared Loughner is. He may actually be worse, because while Loughner’s insanity is clear to all, Kermit Gosnell hides his evil behind a mask of titles, education and self righteous justification.

The D.A. in Philly has announced plans to throw the book at Gosnell. In a statement to the press he stated he may in fact pursue the death penalty in the case. We’ll see whether or not the jury convicts in the case. With the preponderance of evidence I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t. At the very least I expect that he will lose his license to practice his macabre form of medicine.

Tyler, Texas Bariatric Surgery for Weight Loss

Tyler Texas Bariatric Surgeon

Weight Loss Surgeons Tyler TX

Bariatric surgery seems like a scary prospect even if you are obese. It is true that once you get to a certain point you are told by your doctor you very likely may not live past 35.

 

A friend of mine who is only 24 was told this based on his weight gain and I really hope he loses weight and hopefully without going through a risky procedure like Tyler TX bariatric surgery.

Some types of bariatric surgeries involve removing a big part of your stomach. There can be some pretty severe complications that result in going through this weight loss surgery and I recommend you try everything you can before you decide to do this procedure.

There are some newer weight loss surgery techniques like lap band surgery that simply puts a band on part of your stomach without actually cutting anything away. This procedure seems a little safer than actually tearing part of your stomach out of your body.

Tyler TX Weight Loss

If I were in this very hard situation of trying to decide on a Tyler TX weight loss surgeon I would probably talk to a weight loss surgery consultant who has been through a procedure or two.

They have likely researched the topic for several days if not months and have some great advice to give you since they have been there and done that.

Weight Loss Surgery Consultation in Tyler

June 16th, 2010

When choosing a qualified Tyler TX weight loss surgeon it helps to go into it with some good interview questions.

Without understanding your options you can easily be talked into a more risky surgery than you need by a local Tyler doctor unfamiliar with the latest state of the art surgical techniques in weight loss surgery.

Keep in mind that those weight loss surgeons that promote thousands of successful surgeries are in an ugly way of saying it surgery farms.

They many times have perfected an outdated surgical weight loss technique.

Although they have completed many surgeries notice the absence of statistical information on the amount of those that resulted in complications later.

A smarter decision is to go with a surgeon that utilizes the most updated safe surgical techniques for weight loss.

A good bariatrics doctor will have many surgical techniques they have studied and chosen and will be able to explain the negatives and benefits of each.

Don’t be afraid to travel to find a good weight loss surgeon if that is what is needed.

Speak to a weight loss surgery consultant. many of these consultants have been through weight loss surgery and have done the research.

Some of these consultants have had the misfortune of choosing the wrong type of surgical technique and have had to deal with life threatening complications.

The pitfalls and 20/20 hind sight these consultants have after a bad surgery will help steer you to the best available surgeon using the most updated surgical techniques with less chance of complications.

Wendy’s on 64W Near Wal-Mart

January 19th, 2010

Thinking of Wendy’s makes me smile. It is one of the few fast food restaurants that cause random exclamations of “I want!” from me. Just imagining the classic and comforting yellow and red sign, I find myself craving a ninety-nine cent “Frosty”. The “Frosty” has become a comfort to me due to the several times I ate them after surgeries or when having a sore throat. Though, there is probably nothing helpful about the frozen chocolate dairy dessert that we all love – except for producing smiles.

So what is special about this Wendy’s? The answer is that it is a Wendy’s, and if you live on the West or North side of Tyler, then you are close enough to drive to it. It is also conveniently located within the Wal-Mart Supercenter parking lot. Well, I should say that excluding its proximity to my most used shopping location, Wendy’s is inconveniently located within the Wal-Mart Supercenter parking lot. It is purely because of the traffic and where the entrances are. If you need to do Wal-Mart and eat, then I suggest going to Wal-Mart first. Trying to turn left into Wendy’s from the main entrance can be both frightening and frustrating. The traffic that runs perpendicular with Highway 64 has right of way at all times, and the flow of traffic so rarely ebbs. Leaving Wal-Mart you can just turn right into the Wendy’s which works out beautifully.

Other than that, I choose Wendy’s often because their ninety-nine cent menu exceeds the industry standards. In fact, it seems to me that they have set the standard, and other fast food restaurants are slowly climbing on board. I can get a full meal for my wife and I for under seven dollars. I’ll order two double stack cheeseburgers, a breaded chicken sandwich, a small fry and two small sodas all for less than I’d pay for one meal at most other places. The cool thing is that I don’t have to settle to do this. Their food simply tastes wonderful and is fully capable of filling us both.

They also have some of the best standard priced value meals. My wife will often order their salads which were surprisingly tasty. I recommend playing it safe with the grilled chicken Caesar salad. If you are feeling adventurous but want to keep it healthy, try the Mandarin chicken salad. All of the burger and chicken sandwich meals have been good in my opinion. It’s more just a matter of choosing the size you want. Though, I almost always go back to the ninety nine cent menu because it’s cheap and just as good in quality and quantity.

The other positive is something that some people might laugh at. We like to eat at this Wendy’s because of the aesthetics in the parking lot. The parking lot is usually clean aside from the occasional bag of used sandwich and fry packaging that someone was too lazy to deal with. What we love the most is the grackle population. If you are unfamiliar with these birds I suggest making a trip to this parking lot. They look like slightly more unattractive crows, but they have an amazing awkward caw. They also have become trained like seagulls to come really close to people and expect a handout. So, we watch the birds and then watch the impatient people trying to leave the Wal-Mart parking lot. It’s entertaining to those like me who enjoy observing people.

As for negative things, there aren’t many. The store sometimes smells weird. The employees have been pleasant more than ninety percent of the time. I’ll occasionally catch the grumpy window associate during a rush, but luckily it is occasional and not a habit, like so many businesses in America. Also, before visiting this location, commit to not being upset over the salt. They rarely salt the fries correctly and sometimes at all. I suggest automatically asking for extra salt and ketchup. Then you can just keep being happy at little effort on your part or theirs.

Another weird experience I had with this Wendy’s was not food related. I had set up a time with them to do a fundraising car wash for a mission trip I was going on with a group of students. We had called at least a month in advance, and the manager had been very kind to say that we could use their parking lot and water for the day. The day of the car wash we woke early and got our supplies ready. Someone suggested I call to confirm, and the employee acted like I was crazy. They had no record of my team being scheduled. In fact, there was another team scheduled to do a car wash on that day. It was lame, but I don’t hold it against them. I know how stressful working in fast food can be. Random events like mine do not take precedent when you have hungry Tyler residents to feed.

Overall, I’d give this Wendy’s the number one slot in Tyler fast food burger joints. Give it a try. If you already like Wendy’s, then I think you’ll prefer this one to the other locations.
