Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 My experience as an R.N. is that physicians tend to often ignore what patients report because what they say is incorrect. For example, so many people do not know the name of their medications, the dosages, the reasons for taking them, side effects/adverse reactions. Over and over, people have reported what their physicians supposedly told them but which makes no sense at all. IOW, if you want to have credibility, you need to have some knowledge of the problem or situation. BTW, for those who may not know, it is stEnts and not stints. People are suppose to be given a card with the stent information. HTH Denise www.Jmichaelstyle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yeah - but when it comes to EBV, CFS and Fibro they ignore us because they don't believe in it or something. Honey, trust me I have all three and they are horrible illnesses so conventional medicine better wake up. I was finally diagnosed after 9 1/2 years by an intergrative doctor. I'm angry. It's just plain mean. Also, CFS and Fibro patients can be made to feel 91% better most of the time if they see either an intergrative and alternative doctor. And these illnesses are VERY real. So convetional medicine wake up and see the light and stop accepting trips and cars from the stupid money hungry pharmaceutical companies who are only after money and couldn't care less about our health. Yeah I'm angry and everybody in this group make sure you get to an intergrative doctor and make him or her your internist and put greedy conventional doctors out of business.

Too often docs are overworked and not taking the time to properly explain things to their patients. off topic....what does HTH mean?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi Lynn, Just joined...am a bit late in commenting here then but I have to back up what you say here completely. I was diagnosed with adrenal exhaustion by an integrative doc (and finally got help from him!!!!) after receiving no help from a neurologist and general practitioner who both just about ruined what was left of my endocrine system with SSRIs. My integrative doc went the nutritional/supplement route. No, most traditional docs do not listen and I found the ones I dealt with rather arrogant...they didn't 'hear' me when I told them about the godawful side effects of the drugs they tried to push on me (adrenal problems aren't friendly with most pharmaceuticals). I have found an endodontist who respects my choices and will work with my integrative doc but he's a rare one. /Chris , lynn paulino <lynnsprinkles wrote: > > Yeah - but when it comes to EBV, CFS and Fibro they > ignore us because they don't believe in it or > something.
