Why Life Not Fair

Snowflake77 profile image
25 Replies

Took my son to the doctor yesterday. My son’s heart skips a beat. It is getting to be more of a concern now. He only 12.

I get so upset and emotional.

Why does it have to be my son sick? Then I think I would not want any child to have his condition.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to my son. I love him so much.

Why does life have to be hard.

Why don’t good people get a break. All we ever get is bad luck.

What is the problem with your son's heart (only if you care to say). The reason I ask is that the type and number of different kinds of heart problems that can be cured surgically or medically is large and growing. I am not a doctor, however I know a bit about this as my husband had a lot of heart issues. He had open heart surgery twice for different problems and both were essentially "cured." He lived a long active life.

The one thing I would sAY, however, is that if the problem is at all serious, try to have him examined and treated at a major medical center/teaching hospital. Cleveland Clinic probably has the best reputation, but there are others. I think this is very important. I know two people who went to lower level hospitals and did very poorly/died. x

His heart skip a beat or stop beating. He has the condition like the sport players that has when they fall down and die. He not allowed to play on a team. He can not over do it. Thank you for your support.

The main thing you are trying. That all you can do. It is not easy to get a job. When you don’t get a job. Just tell yourself you where to good to work there. You sound like an amazing person. It is their loss.

Thank you for replying. I can see that this would be very worrying and upsetting for you. The one good thing is that the problem was discovered before he collapsed. There are a number of athletes in high school and college who have the same problem, but it is not discovered until they in fact do collapse and die. So, in that sense, your son is lucky (although I know you don't feel lucky and that is understandable.)

Again, I would suggest that you see the best cardiologists there are. These are located at major medical centers/teaching hospitals. This is important. ((((Snowflake77)))))

At my old job there was a colleague there who was only 40 and died from a heart condition she didn't know about which was a right shock!

If these things are caught in time they can easily be treated.

That is young to died.

At the doctor is going to watch my son heart.

It's yet another example to take advantage of what life has to offer when it's here as nothing is guaranteed to anyone!

When a colleague died who had cancer who was ill for ages I wasn't surprised when they died but that was a right shock that came out of the blue!

I would be worried too. I'm sorry your son is having cardiac problems.

What is the treatment plan for him?

Have you gone into the heart site here and talked to the members? They are very knowledgeable and good people. Maybe they can help you
