The Antique GP reply

[Guest guest]

Absolutely! I think that this is our foot in the door with the allopaths.

Physicians today are trained to deal with life-or-death problems. Their

training does not include quality of life issues, however. As a result, the

patients for whom they can't come up with a diagnosis often are relegated to

the " just stress " catagory. (been there myself)

 

Most of these people need little more than to have someone take the time to

help them examine their condition and reccommend an/or offer treatment. A

lot of them just need some place safe to hide out for an hour every couple

of weeks. The ironic thing is that most physicians consider these cases to

be a pain in the neck because they can't effectively treat them and they

keep coming back with more mysterious complaints. All we need to do is

convince them.

 

Maybe we should start a " Give your Doctor a Masage Day. "

Don't despair. Beacuse of the manner in which physians behave toward their

patients it just makes us look better to those patients that we treat. There

is such a need for one on one treatment. People want to be listened to and

that is part of our function. Doctors DO NOT listen to their patients. We do.

For those of us who are highly trained and skilled I have no fear that we

will always be in demand.
