deaf community

Dear Mark:

This is an addition to the above regarding my strong feelings about the TVP AND NEOTHINK AS A WHOLE. I had to be sure of some of the things before I make a statement. It is regard to the FDA. Like I mentioned above that I am hearing impaired and that there always seems to be something “good” about how the government, be it Federal or Local, seem to give specific guidelines about helping the handicapped. Based on my personal experience, as well as reflected by the many others of us within the same category of receiving medical treatment such as a COCHLEAR IMPLANT, a lot of questions have arise out of this kind of treatment and how the FDA had a negative impact on the many individuals around the country. First of all, for those who are not familiar with the COCHLEAR IMPLANT, this is an implant where surgery was done behind the ear to reach the cochlear and an implant was placed there where we are able to retrain our nerves to gain back hearing. In many cases like nine out of ten, people with this type of medical treatment were able to gain their hearing back and were able to lead a normal life style like any hearing person. Less than one percent of them had to wait a longer period of time before hearing start to return to them as in my case.

The point I am trying to make is that, this type of treatment was originated in Germany. Many near by countries around Germany picked this medical treatment up on a daily basis as if it is part of the medical circle like a normal way of keep their medical skills updated. BUT here in the United States of America, it took nearly 25 years before the FDA made an approve to allow such treatment to arrive here. This delay, excuse the terms, this unclean rotten delay has made the deaf community as a whole so dam furious. Why the long wait? Many of them are now doing things they wish they had done some 25 plus years ago since their deafness prevented them from taking part in the mainstream of economic, educational and sciences growth. Mark my words here, some of these deaf people, better yet, former deaf people are now have practices like dentistry, legal counseling, psychiatric and many other fields of business in the general aspects of accounting like any normal hearing person can do since they now have the means to communicate better just because the gain some hearing back to be able to talk to anyone like normal hearing people. Why the 25 year of wasted.

It was not hard to figure out. It was for business competition for congress to be sure that their connections are served FIRST. John Hopkins University hospital and some other places in New York, of which I don’t have the names, were big connections. One of the reason I am doing a lot better with my life is because I’ve gain some hearing back and one of the reason I am moving up the corporate ladder is because I gain some hearing back but the big question is WHY NOW? WHY NOT 25 PLUS YEARS AGO. I AM A FAVORITE EMPLOYEE OF COSTCO AS ONE WHO IS ABLE TO SEE TO IT THAT THEY MAKE AN EXTRA 30 THOUSAND PLUS WEEKLY SALES IN THE ONE DEPARTMENT WHERE I WORK IN THE BAKERY WHERE MY IDEAS ARE BEING DUPLICATE THROUGHOUT THE 400 PLUS COSTCO WAREHOUSES. HOW’S THAT FOR THE BIG BUCKS. THEY COULD HAVE HAD THIS 14 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED EMPLOYMENT WITH THEM. I WAS BORN IN A BAKERY IN 1942 RAISED IN ONE AND GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH BAKING POWDER I’VE SNIFFED IN MY BLOOD. WHAT A LOST!

I want to add just one more thing. It might be worth the research. Former President Reagan had cancer treatment in Germany and not the United States, because Germany has better methods of treatment for some types of cancer other than CHEM THERAPY like we have here. What’s the problem then? Chem therapy makes you loss your hair, weaken your skins and effects many other parts of the organs while in Germany none of these side effects happens. The real point here is that we have laws in our country that does not allow some of those medical treatment be used here in the united States and that if done means we break the law. So it’s ok for the high and mighty to be treated illegally in another country and get away with the law. Again what is the root of the problem here. Competition among the medical fields since it will have made medical treatment a lot cheaper for many caner patients and for the insurance agents to participate in their accounting practice. Preventing such treatment because of the laws is nothing but an illusion to stagnate human health and destroy the living hell out of many folks. This hurts a lot. Glad you won’t see me in tears here, buddy. Do you have a hand gun I can borrow. It really makes me want to shot someone.

I couldn’t let the addition part to my first e-mail to you let go. I was losing sleep over this. I just had to add it and I hope in each and every way it will rock the boat until all those so call “high and mighty” illusions are overboard and eaten by the sharks. Please forgive me for the delay of sending this in, but I just need to meditated on the matter a while and now I feel better that I let it go.

Again, I stand by my one contribution to make as stated above.

Love,

Frank L
