He hurt his elbow on June 29, 2001.  They treated his paid for 8 months with medication, physical therapy, acupuncture and more drugs.  They did take 2 X-Rays early on.  After 8 months they finally decided to do a ultra sound because he was in constant pain.  They discovered that he had been walking around for 8 months with a cracked elbow.  They then put a cast on his elbow.  It was on for 3 weeks and when it was removed he was still in constant pain.  So they gave him more pills. 

During the 8 months he had also been complaining of bad stomach cramps and great stomach pain.  They gave him yet more pills and ran no tests or did any blood work. 

John had also had one lung removed in 1996.  He did not know why his lung had been removed.  He thought that it was because of some infection that he had but was never really sure.

There were many different kinds of medication that he took for 1 1/2 years.  He constantly complained of bad stomach cramps as well as leg cramps, foot cramps and excessive sweating.

The doctors also told him he had GOUT at 33 years of age!

Well now, after 1 1/2 years of all this neglect from doctors and insurance companies he passed away.  On January 27, 2003 my life, my fiancé are now gone.  I will never be the same again.

Yours truly,

Ellen Watkins
