April 11, 2009

It matters not what a person is born, but whom they choose to be.

Not stepping through my fear used to make me very unhappy, limited, and controlled. Now, I am free of that. I am constantly and continually proving this to myself by stepping outside the box when I am being challenged in life. I did something that I feared yesterday- going by past experience , it use to make me very uncomfortable, painful and scared. But, when I kept a few things in mind, it was easy.

A patient comes to a medical professional to heal or treat an ailment. When the opposite happens, that the patient is injured or the situation worsens because of a mistake on the part of the health care provider, this is called medical malpractice.
