I do think second opinions on any subject being tractors,machienery,what ever is necessary to keep em healthy. When one puts his trust in a mechanic without questioning his ability to come to the right conclusion and treatment,is like most of us,(including myself)asking for trouble. Now,I"m going to stray from the subject of tractors for a moment to let folks know of my inorance. Day before yesterday my loving wife was scheduled for an Iron suplement infusion.
called venefur.She left the house in good health, happy,cheerfull and full of life. We never asked the Dr any questions about the proceedure,medication to be used,etc because we have placed our trust in him since forever.
To make a long story short, my son was driving her home right atrer the infusion , got about 2 blocks from the hospital ,when she became extreemly ill. He rushed her right back to the e.r.carried her from the car,through the door into the e.room/ Blood pressure droped to 50/38. Then came the saleien solution to boost the pressure back up. The Dr. that prescribed the infusion was at another clinic 50 miles away. The stand by Dr said it could be food poisioning,(was cya for the primary Dr.)
Got her stabilized and transfered to a room with nurses checking every 5 min.I called the primary and raised H E double hockey sticks and was told by the appointment desk he was in with a patient. he came to the hospital where my wife was at after his rounds to check on her and said it was the flu. Looked on the computer under venefur iron injections(Infusions)and Lord Almighty the side effects was exactly what she was suffering with.(life threatening) Tomorrow .I"m scheduled for a general physical with the same DR. Bet one can guess how thats going to turn out. He should have run a test on my wife to see if any alergic reaction appeared. NOTTA TEST was given not even a mention of possible side affects. Wife is now home and doing better. Swelling going down (arm and face and legs looked like POPEYE.) Now how does that relate to tractors? Well mechanical skills are necessary (paying attention to DETAILS) is necessary to have the tractors up and running like they should be. Second opinions are of great value in both cases. Whats your opinion?
