Charm, I was always the one who was big a tattle tale about the scammers. Brian and Gary are used to me letting them know all about another live one joining OCF to take advantage of us.

I hate it when people try to profit from others when they are down. Here is a way to look at it differently. To me Im happy to read your post. It means there is another active member who is very alert to these unethical people and hates it as much as I do. To me, it means I know you will be on watch while Im recovering so the fakers' posts are very short lived. OCF memebers wont get tricked into any of their bogus advice, thank you!!!! Good job

Christine

A "good job" from you means a lot to me. As a guy, I prefer Enforcer to tattle tale, as the latter has negative connotations. Please relax and work on recovery as I assure you that I will be doubly vigilant now on these bad guys & gals.
Glad to be of service. I remain amazed by your cheerful spirit.

LOL....I think we have a new name for you Charm!! The Enforcer. Christine, I think we will call you the Protector instead of tattle tale. Where do you notice these posts, in what forum? I never see anything.

I want to thank all of you for the chuckles that I got. As a caregiver, I too have gotten many ridiculous comments. One feller with an ego the size of Texas asked me how my husband was and when I told him that he was weak and doing his best to recover, he began to remind me how he had encouraged my husband to go to his feller, a biochemist, blah, blah, blah. And when I told him that we were sticking with Sloan Kettering and would follow doctor's advice as far as chemo and radiation, he had the audicity and stinkiness to reply that "well, that's what some of my family members did and they all died." My stomach goes into knots whenever I recall that recent conversation, and then I remind myself that he's being who he is and how could I expect otherwise.

Right now we are having a problem in the Adjunctive therapy forum on my Up movie review where a rotten apple keeps posting links to internet DVD sites in her signature line Gary deleted one but then asked me to be "compassionate" about an 'Honest mistake". His kindness and good nature were repaid by the poster immediately putting in a different link to an equally sleazy DVD site. It's active now and will be until California wake up time comes.
The click for pay set up on the Internet rewards people who drive traffic to such sites and the unscrupulous target forums like this. Our "enforcing" and "protecting" really consist of just hitting the notify button on the post and Gary and Brian do all the hard work. When they get tired of being abused, they reluctantly ban the person's IP address.
I try to add some "derogatory" comments in the oft chance that the posters have some shred of conscience left plus a little vitriol seems to make them less likely to become repeat offenders especially the mexican clinic wack jobs who thrive on "dialogue" and "discussion" just like the "birthers". As Georgette's post above this ones proves: sometimes there is nothing to discuss, ignorant is ignorant.

Suzanne, if you read a post that sounds phony and too good to be true, That is one of them.

I guess it's safe to assume these people have never gone through what we have. That's really not nice that people try to invade our space like that....

[quote=davidcpa]When they give you an EXACT appointment time (I mean like 11:15) and you arrive EXACTLY on time only to wait more than a hour for his holiness to see you.

When you go to get a prescription filled and the lady in the window says "that will be twenty seven fifty" and you hand her $40,00 thinking that's reasonable only to hear her reply "no I mean $2750.00"!! [/quote]

Lucky you only waited 1 hour! We were the second appointment and waited 3 hours then saw his holyness for half an hour, then had to pay $23 in car parking (the hospital car park meant for day patients and visitors of in patients- not a shopping mall car park) because his holyness was 3 hours late.

Where you prescribed liquid gold?

when minutes after you have come out of the recovery room after a modified radical neck dissection, the consultant asks "Does it hurt?"

Erm no! It's all tickety boo! I was just thinking of doing a few back flips! Derrrr, does it hurt!

When I am talking to another teacher about what I was going through last year, and another one comes up butts in and tried to tell the story. This happened today by the way. I was so angry. It doesn't help that I do not get along with teacher anyway and I am her supervisor. LOL
