Replies to 'Overcoming Grief'

No offense taken. I've actually told my two girls I hope they never get on a motorcycle. My uncle loved the things though.  He did autobody for a living. He and my dad even owned a shop in South Carolina when we were kids. What really sucks is the fact that he had been riding for so long, in so many places. They lived in Dallas for the longest and he died in a s!*thole little town like Port Arthur Texas (which just happens to be where he was born and raised). We found out yeseterday he died from a double air embelism, something that was totally treatable and preventable. A simple ultrasound would have caught it, the whole thing was totally sensless. Both the cops and the two hospitals he was treated at were totally incompetant. They act like they're doing us a favor when they are simply doing the job they are paid to do, it makes me sick!!! So what's Canada like, I daydream about moving their all of the time.

 

Belvilma::    I know and am sorry for spelling your name wrong.  I am so sorry but, I feel that not only law inforcement was neglegant, but so was the hospital.  I recestly got my motorcycle licence and i know that I cannot be as safe as in a car.  But, your uncle seems to have not even got the proper care in the hospital.  Law inforcement needs to be called on the carpet for the rest.  I would find an attorney and take the hospital and law inforcement, and this joker driving the truck  all to court.  It will not brig your family member back, but atleast they will not get away with this, by sweeping it under the carpet... Good luck... do not let this go, when you feel strong enough to fight ... go for it .. my prayers out to you and yours.l  Mary ann
