Stupid!!!! A MIRACLE IN OUR TIME! YES, this REALLY HAPPENED, APPARENTLY!

[Guest guest]

On another board, in reply to my disgust at the hospital not giving

my mother-in-law a stool-softener when they did surgery on her, I

received this reply. This is stunning! Amazing! Awesome! Marvelous!

Looky here:

 

" I had laparoscopic surgery in February and was given stool softeners

while I was in the hospital (and to take after I got out), and was

advised to incorporate fiber in my diet (which I already did anyway).

I had no constipation problems.

 

It's good to know that not all of them are that stupid!

 

Terry "

 

I have asked him to tell me the name and location of the hospital. I

am going to phone the CEO of that hospital and congratulate him!

 

Best wishes,

 

Elliot

it is quite easy to induce a bowel movement. Just take too much

vitamin C at one time and when the acorbic acid hits the lower

bowels it produces the desired result. And it is non toxic in every

way. It is required for healing anyway and helps all of the bodies

systems in the process.)
