Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Unbelievable...but true, huh? <g> You know, I used to think there was something in the H. oath that they took about serving the medical needs of the rest of us....but that's apparently not the case. About 5 years ago, in Denver, my husband had a run-in with a hot radiator. We went to a clinic we knew had walk-in medical treatment. (This was on a weekend.) The nurse kept running back and forth between the front desk and the back room where the doctor was hiding, and finally came out and said that " The doctor says you are burned too badly...you have to go to an emergency room of a hospital. " (The doctor never saw him, hubby was upright, talking normally....his burn was under his shirt, so we have never figured this one out at all!) We had no insurance. We went instead to a health food store, and to make a long story shorter, hubby doesn't even have a mark on his body from those burns. Thank God for aloe! I have been to a doctor 2 times in the last 30 years - once for the psoriasis, and once for an ear infection (that the drugs never healed, but my garlic/mullein did!)....and that was enough. In both situations, the doctor's ego was so big, there was barely enough space to get into the room.... I sure hope I die in my sleep!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 This story is another perfect example of why we need these lists- to help each other-- it is safer and many times cheaper than filling a toxic prescription..

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi, I can certainly sympathize with you, as I'm sure many of this group can. My experience is that the MDs are trained in dishing out pharmaceuticals, and if what you have doesn't have a drug specifically targeted for it, you're just out of luck. Since I want to avoid their drugs as much as I can, I don't make a very " good patient " for them. In the last few years, I have been told by two different people about a " doctor " that is a must see. He's an Amish man living south of Glasgow, Ky. He doesn't make appointments, but is open 4 mornings a week. He uses iridology to diagnose the main cause of trouble, and tells you what herbs will bring you back in balance. He sells some of his own, or will just tell you what you need. Both people that told me about him said that he's very insightful. I've been wanting to go see him, but it's not possible with my present situation. I have a rough map of how to get to his house. I can make a copy and send it to you if you're interested. As far as finding an MD that can help you, I suspect that if there was such a thing, he'd be so booked up from referrals that you'd never get in to see him! I'm sorry if I'm too cynical, that's just my experience. Best of luck.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 You're absolutely right. Sweeping statements can get one into a world of hurt. I thought about it after I sent the " rant " and it is true that there are a LOT of reconstruction surgeons who are there to help folk with serious problems just as there are a lot who aren't. Shame on me for making such a gross generalization and thanks for pointing it out. A lot of " body beautiful " surgeons will also say that many folk who come in for their services are seriously unhappy with their nose, their breasts, moles etc and that getting them changed will really help with self confidence. So I apologize for my silly throw away comment. K On 3/24/06, Bobbi <herbalsoaplady wrote: > > " There are the doctors that are in it for the money, but they're plastic > surgeons! LOL!
