Stunned

Got a phone call that stunned me tonight. A friend who had gone into the hospital for a chest operation died yesterday. The operation she was to have, if performed in time is normally quite effective, but she left it too long. I'm devastated. We used to fight because I was never willing to be quite as negative about allopathic medicine as she was. She had just spent five years training as a homeopathic practitioner. I almost feel as if bloody political correctness killed my friend. I hate it when everything gets so politicized that people put their lives and health in jeopardy because of it.
