Not my message at all. Just like the posters here who fear addiction and don't take pain pills aren't saying they are better. My message is that there is nothing wrong with "resisting" the relentless pressure to get a feeding tube.
Comments like yours usually silence posters who aren't used to rhetoric and hyperbole. If you scroll thru the last three years, you will see that I've been regularly denounced for standing up to the PEGophiles. Heck, even Brian chimed in at the beginning. My belief is that I will be vindicated on the PEG issue just as I am finally being vindicated on the Neck dissection issue as some recent posts indicate.
Finally it's not fair to say that just not wanting to have something happen or not being happy that something happens makes one a "resister". Nobody wants to have a War, nor be in Iraq or Afghanistan, nobody is happy to have these Wars, yet they are not war resisters. My best friend in law school was a war resister and faced federal prosecution for it. Words have real meanings and by definition a feeding tube resister does not get one. I'm am no longer a resister to my chagrin.
