...HELLO...

My name is Mary and I reside in
Scottsville New York.
I am the mother of the beautiful girl you
see pictured above...

I am sure that most people are
aware that there is a problem with the HMO's in this country...
I am going to tell you what
happened to our family and
I pray to GOD that
this will never happen to you,
your family,
or anyone you know.

On February 3rd, 1997,
my youngest daughter went to our Primary Care Physician
complaining of pains in her chest,
shortness of breathe and dizziness.
They told her to breathe into a brown paper bag
for the dizziness. They then sent her home.

On February 4th, 5th and again on the 7th,
she returned to the Doctor's with increasing symptoms,
severe pain in her back,
her lips and her cuticles were blue.

~NO TESTS WERE DONE ON HER~

On February 8th at 8:00 PM,
she started crying that she
was very ill.

At 8:30 PM she was semi-consious.
I tried calling the Doctor but
it was a Saturday night and
I had to contact his answering service.
They continued to put me on hold.

At 8:45 I called the hospital
and was told I couldn't bring her
in without confermation from her Doctor....

I tried again to contact her Doctor and was

AGAIN

put on hold. At 9:10 PM
I called 911 and they dispatched an ambulance.

At 9:12 PM she screamed that
her back hurt and she thought
she was dying, she then lasped into a coma....

My husband rushed down the
stairs and tried doing CPR
on her while I was on the phone again
with 911.

They pronounced my beautiful daughter

DEAD

at 10:45 PM... You have no idea what it is
like to watch a daddy trying
to breathe life back into his
little girl....
The devistation that has happened
to our family....

On February 10th, it was told to me by a
Professional in her Doctor's
office that they couldn't justify sending her
for Diagnostic tests to find
out what was wrong with her.

Her autopsy report came back
that she had pneumonia in
her right lung and a blood
clot in her left.

This was a SENSELESS death!!
All for the sake of...

MONEY!

Unfortunately this isn't the end
to this story...

Four months and 11 days after
the death of our beautiful
daughter, we lost her daddy (my husband).
He couldn't stand losing his
little girl and died from the
proverbial broken heart...

PLEASE
PLEASE
Don't let this happen to someone
that you love or someone
that you know.

Contact your local Congress person,
Senators, anyone that can make the change.

No amount of money was
worth my daughter's life.

Thank you so much for listening.

May GOD bless each and everyone...

Thank you

Mary Cries

Her eyes fill with tears
As she fights with her will
The battle of emotion
To have her words heard
Her loss acknowledged
Her pain not in vain, but to an end.
An end that will save other mothers
Other wives
The same tears.

Mary cries for her child
For the needless loss
For the beauty of a rose
Plucked from life before reaching full bud

She fights, remembering
The ache in her heart remains
But she bravely puts it aside
To help other mothers, other wives
Avoid the tears she shed, and sheds still.
Pushing for reform
For justification, and perhaps
For someone to tell her,
ìMary, I am sorry your child died.î

Mary cries for her child
For the loss of her love
Of her lifeís flower
Uprooted before it could grow to completion.

She lives as best she can
The shade of her child and her husband
Dead too, from a broken heart
Standing at her shoulders
She works too hard, too long
As she tries to send them to heaven
Where they already sing with the angels.
But she can only feel them at her side.

Mary cries for her life
For the loss of her dreams
The waste of her most loving labor
Snatched from her by uncaring hands.

Dedicated to my dear friend Mary,
who fights daily for HMO reform to
spare others the pain of the needless death of a child.

This is another poem that was written for Mary
By a lady who signed our guestbook
Please do not take it with out written permission

The Loss of a Child

What is the life of one child worth,
a sweet, simple child loved since birth?
Where is the justice, this child to deprive
the simple treatment to keep her alive?

Our voices cry out against a greed written rule,
for reform in the system that could be so cruel.
And for all of the lives that are lost over greed,
We cry out a warning, my brethren to take heed.
Ban together in this fight to share,
Lest next, it be your child that is refused care.

We cry out in anguish for the loss of a child,
the anger grows deep and is more than mild.
Who has the right to determine the fate
of a child in this country of supposed free state?
Where is the justice? With my whole being I cry,
at whose greedy feet shall this blame lie?

With a grief that burns deep and anger so wild,
we demand intervention on behalf of a child!
Where is their shame? I see no saving grace . . .
How dare they look away from a mother's face
when her child has been taken in such terrible disgrace.

In memory of Donna Marie Munnings
