Listen to your doctor and not a bunch of studies! Enjoy things in life in moderation.
Yikes,worked with Dr's too long,like 40 years and many many many rate right up there with sleazy lawyers and used car salesman. I LIKE my Dr,that said he is a pill pusher and his answer to everything is another pill.Thats the majority of Dr's Ive worked with,and Ive worked with a lot.
And talk about behind the times on current knowledge,scare the livin hell out of me.Most get all their info from drug companies and medical reps selling something,and professional journals with studies paid for from industry.Thats how it is.
When you add in Dr's that will run endless uncalled for tests and procedures to enrich themselves and their buddies,they are
everywhere. So far from Saints its ridiculous.From personal experience and I'll bet most folks with 40 years of the system feel the same.And have seen it too.
The goal is not to cure you,its to lessen your symptoms and keep you in the system,if they cured you,you wouldnt need them,and their very lucrative gravy trains comes to a screeching halt.Sorry,but thats what medicine is all about.
So true,esp with cancer treatments for example,you need an unconnected second opinion,and then a third! Your Dr will give you ONLY the choices he,his hospital or his buddies do,anything thing else SUX they will tell you,yup,self serving Dr's are everywhere!Im not saying go witch Dr,I am saying there is more than one way to treat illness,you need to know it and YOU,
the educated patient,needs to make the decision,not someone with an economic agenda.
I got news for you.1 Mercedes is never enough,I know Drs with a car stable with Ferrari's and beach homes,helicopters!,its never enough,dont let that creep decide what best for you without realizing its whats best for HIM first,yup,that happens,always has,hysterectomies used to be the big scam until cat scans put that BS out of business.They have plenty more.
Educate YOURSELF,only YOU is looking out for YOUR best interests,then CHOOSE the options that are available,blind faith will screw you under terribly.
Yeah,its a rant,but Ive been in the system since I was a 17 year old corpsman,I dont let them pull any of that trash on my family.
