My sister has just had triple coronary artery bypass grafts (just three hours ago). Fortunately, the operation was successful. She could have had a fatal reaction to a drug given but she didn't. Without the operation and the required drugs she would be a sitting time bomb. For the past seven years, since her first heart attack, she has been on heart medication and insulin for her diabetes. Without them she would not be alive today to have her bypass operation.
You have to put these things in perspective.

Type 2 diabetes on the rise
Researchers Orit Pinhas-Hamiel of Sheba Medical Center and Philip Zeitler of the University of Colorado reviewed articles and reports on type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents between 1978 and 2004. They found dramatically increases in areas such as New York, Taiwan, New Zealand and Canada.
Us Medicare to Help Look for Drug Side Effect
A series of controversies involving prescription drugs such as Merck & Co. Inc.'s painkiller Vioxx have prompted intense scrutiny of the way the government tracks the safety of medicines after they hit the market. Millions of Americans took Vioxx before it was pulled from the market last September when a study showed the drug raised heart attack and stroke risk. Regulators now rely heavily on reports of serious problems from manufacturers or doctors to identify side effects that were not apparent before a drug's approval. Experts estimate as little as 10 percent of potential side effects are reported.
Endoscopies may miss 1 in 5 cancers
The survey showed that initial endoscope checkups found stomach cancer cells in 1,201 patients. In 343 cases, doctors initially found no cancer cells, but diagnosed them as stomach cancer within three years as a result of follow-up examinations. Hosokawa has concluded that endoscope checkups overlooked stomach cancer in these cases, which account for 22.2 percent of all the endoscope tests covered by the survey.
Thanks. BJRolfe said:I'm very pleased to hear that your sister's operation has been successful. My very best wishes for her continuing good health.

Where have you ever found someone claiming that medical treatment is infallible. All we claim is that it is much better than Homoeopathy (or nothing - as it's better known).
Diabetic Teens Show Early Signs of Artery Trouble
Teenagers with type 2 diabetes are likely to have blood vessels that resemble those of someone decades older, a small study suggests. The study, of 62 teenagers with and without type 2 diabetes, found that diabetic teens had greater stiffness in their arteries -- comparable to that seen in middle-aged adults. What's more, teenagers who were obese but not diabetic also had more rigid arteries than their normal-weight peers...
