93 Pound Tumor Removed From Woman

(CBS 3) TULSA, Okla. In health, can you imagine walking around with a 93 pound tumor in your belly and not knowing it was there. Medical Reporter Stephanie Stahl explains the amazing details.

Doctors didn't know it was there.

A 32-year-old woman, who was repeatedly told she needed to lose weight, accidentally discovered why diets simply didn't work. She was carrying around a 93 pound growth on her ovary.

Taquela Hilton said she struggled with weight for 12 years and during that time, the cyst was never diagnosed.

"I quit going to doctors, every one I went to told me to lose weight and I had tried every diet I could think of," said Hilton.

How can this go undiagnosed for so long? Talk about medical incompetence.

Doctors have an average lifespan of 68, more than ten years less than the rest of the population. People seem to think they are Gods, but in reality they are merely snake oil salesmen for the pharmacutical industry that keeps pumping toxic poisons into the population to increase their profits.

Merely walking into a Doctor's office and touching a door knob will expose the average person to nearly a half a million pathogens, viruses and bacteria they would normally not be exposed to on an average day. Since I've not been to a doctor in over 2 years, I have not even had a sore throat or the sniffles.

Doctors are, for the most part, overpaid amatures who should all be rounded up and burned at the stake.

It's too bad she can't parlay this into something like Jared did.

I could hear the commercial now

"I lost 93 pounds in one hour..."

Wow Ph@, a colorful pic and everything!

That was gross! And a clear demonstration of incompetency by supposedly qualified medical providers. I'm glad she's doing okay tho.

btw - that Mikey comment was just - wrong but good for a nice chuckle at the end of a crappy day.

Nice.

What is really funny is that this will probably happen.

Amen.

We need doctors when there are car wrecks and people falling off bridges but they do a lousy job of keeping people healthy. Then again that would be bad for business.

I'm not going to disagree (or agree for that matter) with the rest of your post, but wouldn't most people would GO to the doctor when they HAVE a sore throat or the sniffles? People don't really go to the doctor because it's been too long since they were sick...

**lazylizzy** · 02.02.07, 05:06 PM

Now I know why I am so healthy - I haven't been to a doctor since 1982 I think. No pap smears, no mammograms, so shit.

Think of all the money I've saved!

I use 'alternative methods' for dealing with illness. I think doctors are good for stitching stuff up and setting bones and such.

Exactly. The way to avoid sickness is by eating jalepenos, tomatos and bananas every day, avoid flouride tap water, fast food, aspertame & MSG, and no matter how tempting, never ever lick door knobs.

Avoid all pharmacutical medications. Chicken soup is a natural anti-biotic. Protandim is the best anti-oxident on the market and will keep you from getting sick.
