Paulo and sorry to hear about your mother. I too use the mountains as an escape sometimes. Often my mind will just clear for hours and there is nothing but where I am.
If you have any issues with the money you hate so much, feel free to send me some anytime.
My friend, if i had some good money i'd give u some ahahahahah
I'm broke, and i can't go to the mountains every week for that reason. But, i'm happy and that's the best for me right now.
About my mother, it was a tragedy and my family went for several fights afterwords, i lost contact with my mother's relatives, my father stoped talking to me...well, as they say: "shit happens". Life can't be good all the time.
Cheers my friend!
Paulo
ahahaha Augustin, but Molto Bene is Italian! (right?), i am brazilian so that would be "Muito bem" lol
Felicidades is right, well done!
Cheers and thank you for read!
for mentioning my name (makes me feel like I am super important :)
I am sorry about difficulties in your life, sounds really bad to be burried alive! What were her symptoms/diagnosis? sorry, the physician part in me is inqusitive.
I guess mountains are an escape for most of us - I am married to mountains! and quiet a bit promiscuous too, like to explore different ones.
Keep climbing and posting on SP. Thank you for your contributions.
It's okay Liba, i figured you'd ask me. The problem was, the doctor at the hospital gave her a prescription for a certain drug which was supposed to be administered as a suppository. It was some kind of oil drug. But the nurse injected it on her bloodstream! So you can imagine, get a glass full of water and put on some oil inside the glass. It won't mix right? That was the case. The result: She had an cardiac arrest but they saved her. After a couple hours her vital signs were too low (and the hospital didn't had the proper equipment to determine her brain was dead). Actually she was on a deep coma, with very, very low vital signs. The nurse got desperate and talked to the responsible physician. They determined she was dead and took her to the morgue fridge (low temperatures can hide traces of drugs on the body) and waited for 4 hours. After that they called us. The same physician stole her file to hide the proof (that was the only thing we could prove 7 or 8 years later).
We buried her, no, we didn't notice she wasn't too cold, nobody notice she wasn't on rigor mortis state. Everybody was shoked, even my father.
At the memorial service, my father took a neckless she loved and tied her hands together with that neckless. After 3 years we had to remove her body (in Brazil that is the time for normal burial) and we were even more shocked: The neckless was at her neck, the arms beside her head, fingernails broken and the top of the coffen had several scratches, as she tried to open it. So, i think you got the picture...
No, nothing happened. We took more pictures to the law process but hey, i live in Brazil. Everything here ends in pizza. The physician never went to a prison for a single day, and never lost his license.
Well...like another people say: Life's a bitch.
I'll never get over this, but you know, life goes on...
Thank you Liba by the comment and don't forget, just like others here i consider you a friend!
Cheers
Paulo
BTW, she had HPN (Hemoglobinúria Paroxística Noturna), i don't know the therm in english, but she could die of age, it's not a big deal...
Oh my God!...Oh my God!! This is just the utmost last thing on this living earth one could wish to any human being - to be buried alive!!! You have to imagine!!! And the doctor got away unscathed with this utterly horrendous error...!!!
for having the courage to open up your life and share so much with your friends at summitpost. Thank you for considering me a friend, and I'm also proud to call you a friend.
I was introduced to the mountains at the age of 16 and I'm still at it. Without the mountains, I'm not sure how I would have made it through all the difficult years in my life. We are lucky to have the mountains to fall back on.
I am so sorry to hear about your mother and her tragic end. You should be proud of yourself for controlling your anger. There is nothing that can bring her back. We just need to make sure that the rights and life of the innocent are not violated.
Marc my friend, my life is an open book, i have nothing to hide and even been a sad story inside the years of my life, must be told.
My father wrote 3 books about the case and never could publish them, and never got another job since the case is famous in Rio de Janeiro (not by the news, but the justice dp and most of the big companies).
I'm okay, but i'll never get over this.
Mountains are my blood now! \o/
Thank you!
Paulo
I was so touched by your wonderful article! What a terrible and sad story, the fate your mother had to suffer!!! I pray for her soul...
Same as Marc, I admire you for your courage and the openness you showed, telling us the story of your life. I don't know if I could have done that in the same way as you did...The Germans have a saying: "Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker" - what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger...I feel a lot of this in you, Paulo!
Those were such kind words you wrote at the bottom of your article - let me tell you in return that for me as well, you are a friend!
Take care, Paulo, and till soon,
Eric
Eric,
I have a very similar article in portuguese in my blog and www.altamontanha.com, as a presentation before starting to write for the website.
As i told Marc, i don't have to hide this, i believe that story must be told, over and over again, in different languages.
We have the same saying here (there is a lot of german families here at Brazil, hey, my girlfriend has the whole family from germany! Her name is Lilianne Schmidt and yes, she speaks german! hehehe), and i think it is a perfect saying for me, you're right!
See ya my friend!
Paulo
But, for future reference for traveling in Bolivia:
"The road maintenance service in Bolivia publishes a daily online map of any road interruptions, due to construction, flooding, rock slides, social unrest or whatever reason.."
