Why Patients Treat Themselves

[Guest guest]

Hi there...

 

I know this was not directed to me, but since I suggested that a

medical doctor be seen, let me put in a few words...

 

I am very, very alternatively minded, if anyone couldn't tell yet,

and I am very conscious of not instilling fear, which unfortunately

the medical doctors are as good at if not better than diagnosing..

 

This is a public forum, with who knows reading what... When someone

seems to be in a situation that could be critical, we are not

talking about a cough or a sneeze, it is prudent to counsel medical

attention. Medical doctors are trained in how to diagnosis and

legally are the only ones allowed to do such... In this

circumstance it would be nice to know just how critical of a

condition this person is in... Are we talking about a minor issue

or is this life threatening... To not ask these questions and just

start talking about apple juice is irresponsible and could result in

further harm by delaying medical attention... Or that is what the

lawyer says as they sue me out of my life as the moderator of this

...

 

Is that the way it should be, for now it is the way that it is...

 

But still there is no harm going to a medical doctor to get their

opinion of what is going on... What you do with it is completely up

to you... If it sounds like hogwash, fine move on, jump directly to

the alternative solutions available... Perhaps, on the off chance,

it adds insight, and you discover it was not gall stones, but an

infection of the xxxxx, that puts you in a completely different

direction to look in, if like most alternative medicine you are

diagnosis oriented...

 

For homoeopathy, it tells me just how much wiggle room we have to

play with. If someone could die in the next week from a condition

that can be saved by a medical procedure, how much time do I want to

play with remedies before saying, at this stage in the game, we need

to look further down the road. On the other hand, maybe we learn

this is just painful but not life threatening, and give the client

the option of which is more important to them, pain relief with all

the consequences or healing it naturally? Not to say that healing

it naturally has to take a long time, but you get the idea...

 

The person involved should have as much information as possible to

make the best informed decision as possible...

 

For better or for worse, that is the world we live in, and have to

navigate around, but I hope it makes more sense as to why I

suggested a MD.
