To stop severe bleeding of a main artery, apply pressure to the artery delivering blood to the area of the wound. Squeeze the main artery in these areas against the bone. With your other hand, continue to exert pressure on the wound itself.

Is this Doctor anti-Christian or is this delusion?

Q: My mom got this email from someone in her Sunday School group. Basically, this lady’s son has a malignant brain tumor. My mom graduated from medical school, and is familiar with this sort of thing. Basically, the child is going to die no matter what. He’s lucky to have lived as long as he has, but the placement and the growth of the tumor mean that it’s essentially impossible to get rid of. This lady doesn’t get it. Okay, so here it goes….yesterday was an emotional, disturbing, and draining day. We were in Nashville Monday to discuss the MRI report with ____’s doctor and he says that even though the center of the tumor is basically dead, the outside of it is still slightly growing. He basically said to keep giving him the enzymes, Protocel and hydrazine sulfate (which we recently added to help his appetite, and is also known to kill tumors). He said any chemo right now is not proven that it would work and radiation could stop the growth or could make things worse due to main arteries being entangled throughout the tumor which could break apart and cause bleeding, etc. or the tumor could grow right through the radiation. So, he then goes on and starts talking about if something “catastrophic were to happen to ____, would you want him to be intubated?” I found this to be shocking that he was talking to me as if he didn’t think ____ would be functioning within 8 weeks (which is when we will be back for his next MRI). I guess since he was seeing no emotion from me, he just kept on about all these “catastrophic” things that could happen until finally I did break down b/c I was so angry that he was talking about my son like that. I have stayed so strong throughout these whole 3 ½ years, very rarely getting emotional with doctors, and I really think satan is trying to break me this time. We are not giving up, we are going to fight harder than before!____ is my life, my love, my little trooper, the reason I get up each morning, and I know that God has great plans for him as he gets older. I know there are so many of Gage’s prayer partners out there and words cannot express to you how thankful I am that you have continued to lift him up in prayer throughout these years. Please continue storming heaven with your prayers that Protocel and the other therapies will continue deadening this tumor and that it stops the outside of the tumor from growing and putting excess pressure on him or his brainstem area. Truly, ______ and ____ P.S.– I am going to be getting some secondopinions from other hospitals/doctors plus some other consultations.This isn’t about me.
