One Woman's Story
Why is the Lady fromLimerick important? This play, written
by Claude Solnik, a writer and reporter from Long Island, is based on the story
of Kathleen Kelly Cregan, a woman who came to New York from Ireland to live the
dream of beauty. The dream was snuffed
away when she died following her plastic surgery.
When the battle to
learn what happened was played out in a court room, there was settlements in the millions received by the family. Actually, the family probably didn’t get all
the money, the lawyers get paid – and so they should, and there are plenty of
fees that come out of it. Whatever they
received it wasn’t the value of someone’s life. Kathleen used a doctor who had over 30
malpractice settlements against him but was on television and in magazines
claiming to be the best at what he did.
Kathleen Kelly Cregan followed a fantasy and used a doctor that was
being questioned even by his peers.
Kathleen Kelly Cregan
was not a number. She was someone’s
mother and wife. In the play we will get
to know the writers vision of what life might have been like for her in a small
town outside of Limerick. The story of
this woman is the story of many people who don’t make the news and don’t have
thoughtful writers bringing them back to life.
Lady from Limerick is
not one person’s story. It is the representation
of thousands and thousands of stories that don’t get told. On April 10, 2014, her story will get told
for her. And for all those she represents.
Like the 239 missing passengers who went down with that plane, Kathleen Kelly Cregan represents at least
that many - because 1 is a number, and
she matters too.

There are 440,000 people dying in our country from preventable medical errors. These do not include the figures which are hidden or the gray figures that never made it as part of the statistics. Depending on what article you read, the figures could be anywhere between 750,000 and 1,000,000. This is genocide. Why? Our government is so corrupt they refuse to acknowledge this is happening and are ignoring it. The difference between genocide in the United States and elsewhere is, nobody is singled out. Babies, children, young, old, black, white, all are dying across the board.
Our country passed laws preventing Americans from getting justice and accountability. Americans can not even have the right of due process under our 7th Amendment Constitutional Right. Yet, we preach to the world about "rights" under the guise of respectability. The fact is, we are corrupt and have lost our humanity years ago. We sold our soul to the company store.

Sending you a link to show you the best medical care given in our country could possibly be the veterinarian clinics. Maybe the most merciful way to end a patient's suffering would be pulling the trigger. You judge.
If you find yourself in Texas, make sure your life insurance policy is paid in full.
If you are in NYC, avoid the doctor mentioned. The Texas Medical Board failed to police after their own.
FYI: Dr. Javier Andrade apparently did not do well in New York City and probably is headed your way considering he had a license in Florida for 2 years prior to going to NYC.
Thank you for your time,
