On Tuesday, 22nd February, I drove at around 10 AM to Seattle for my appointment at the UW dental clinic. In the early morning I had talked to my sister Christiane. She had given me some information that I had asked her to research for me. I’ll come back to this research at a later […]

I had my initial examination at the UW dental clinic on Monday 7th February, 2005. Before the examination I had to watch an introduction video. I was in a group of six; three men and 3 women. In the waiting room I noticed a few things that reminded me of George who I had met […]

When I arrived on 20th July 2004 at the dental practice from Dr. R. in Vancouver, BC, I noticed in the waiting room two guys who almost looked like panhandlers. One person had one of his leg amputated and the other wore a T-shirt with the Yin Yang symbol on it. I had to wait […]

I would like to mention, too, that I discussed the events at LWTC with different people and asked them for their opinion. And they were divided. One person thought that I should accept the cheque. The reasoning was that LWTC made an error without acknowledging it openly and therefore giving me the money back that […]

After having a hole drilled in my molar and being service denied at LWTC I decided to have my tooth repaired with a dentist in Vancouver, Canada. I had heard that the Canadian health care service is more affordable. And since my cousin was living in Vancouver at that time I asked him for a […]

I encountered the next unusual experiences with physicians, medical clinics and practices here in Washington State. Sometimes I experienced incorrect information given to me, an above average waiting period and even a denial of treatment for some obscure reason. Some medical attention was carelessly executed therefore contributing to additional discomfort and becoming temporarily sick after […]

My second life-threatening event happened in 1985. Though the physicians in Düsseldorf had explained to me that operating on the Fallopian tubes would also increase the risk of a future ectopic pregnancy, I had hoped for a normal pregnancy. My wish for having my own child had been so strong that I was willing not […]

After I had been married for a few years and my wish to conceive a child didn’t materialize, I decided to undergo the in vitro fertilization procedure to become pregnant. That was in the year of 1984. At that time this technology was still very young and only a few University Clinics in Germany offered […]

At the emergency operation in 1976 I was not only diagnosed with a tubal pregnancy that had caused the bleeding, the surgeons discovered even a medical phenomenon on me. Attached to one of my ovaries was a “rotted twin”. These were the exact words that the surgeon used to explain this medical finding. Additionally he […]
