A Disabled Swimmer’s Dream, a Mother’s Fight

Published: June 18, 2008
SAN DIEGO — As Kendall Bailey swims, his praying-mantis limbs flapping him forward, something about the water disguises his many maladies: cerebral palsy, mental retardation, autism and more. Only in a swimming pool do they dissolve and allow his troubled body and mind to be all but normal. He is happy, safe and possibly the fastest disabled breaststroker in the world....

Hey everyone, Tom Cruise makes an appearance on our forum. Dolphin 2 has gone from talking about one topic he has no experience or knowledge of (swimming) to another (the medical profession). Stay tuned, next week he'll tell us all about nuclear physics because he owns a toy gyroscope.
When you can google, who needs to go to skuul?
Hey Aquageek
What exactly is YOUR scientific expertise on anything I've discussed here? Have you ever served as an expert witness in providing court testimony?
Although I'm not a medical professional, I have in fact backed up my statements (about the risk of being a victim of medical malpractice) with solid evidentiary sources and if being proved wrong as Hell frustrates you, that's your problem. :cry: :cry: :cry:
By the way, if you think Tom Cruise is some kind of "nut case" for bashing the psychiatric profession, just try it for yourself. Just set up an appointment with a doctor and have him/her write you a prescription (they're pushing psych meds like canday) for a few capsules of Prozac (or any other SSRI or antidepressant).
I can guarantee you that within one week, instead of being "Happy as a lark" you will be kicking down the door for assistance in getting off the stuff -and over the horrible side effects. :(
