Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Ive recently had a rather intense discussion with my doctor about how i disagree with some of her treatment philosophies. She suggested I look into alternative medicine. First of all let me explain what caused the discussion. I recently twisted my ankle pretty badly at work so off to the doc I go. After some x-rays and deciding i needed rest and some time off my feet my doctor was going to give me perscription pain killers. I was upset by this because good grief it was only a sprain and if i REALLY needed it I could just take some TYLENOL or something. I tried to explain to her how I dont like taking medications unless I absolutely have to and the narcotic pain killers were really not needed. Thats when she told me i should look into alternative medicine. Now I am not totally against modern medicine, its a wonderful thing when used properly. But this nonsense of handing out pain killers like they are candy is crap. So I guess what Im looking for is a doctor who is going to treat what ever i have in the least drastic way possible. I should also mention that i am open to any forms of treatment as long as they are explained to me and i agree to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
