Body: I got this as an email and I figured it couldn't hurt to post it here.
From a
nurse:
> I'll never forget the look in my patients' eyes when I had to tell them they
had to go home with the drains, new exercises and no breast.
I remember begging
the Doctors to keep these women in the hospital longer, only to hear that they
would, but their hands were tied by the insurance companies.
So there I sat with
my patients, giving them the instructions they needed to take care of
themselves, knowing full well they didn't grasp half of what I was saying,
because the glazed, hopeless, frightened look spoke
louder than the quiet 'Thank
You' they muttered.
A mastectomy is when a woman's breast is removed in order to
remove cancerous breast cells/tissue.
If you know anyone who has had a
Mastectomy, you may know that there
is a lot of discomfort and pain afterwards.
Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure.
Let's give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after
surgery.
>
> It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important.
Please take the time and
do it! Please send this to everyone in your address book.
If
there was ever a
time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those times.
>
> If
you're receiving this, it's because I think you will take the 30 seconds to
vote on this issue and send it on to others you know who will do the same.
There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will
require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a
mastectomy.
It's about eliminating the 'drive-through'
Mastectomy where women are forced to go home just a few hours after surgery,
against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and
sometimes
with drainage tubes still attached.
>
> Lifetime Television has put
this bill on their Web page with a petition drive
to show support. Last year over half the House signed on.
PLEASE!! Sign the
petition by clicking on the web site below.
You need not give more than your
name, state, and zip
code.
