Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I worked with an OB/GYN. I am presently an R.N. (Ret.) When a woman came for prenatal care, a Pap smear was performed. Bear in mind that lay people frequently do not understand what is going on with their health care. Sadly, it continues to be my experience that the majority of people do not know the name of their medications, the dosages, the reasons for taking them, and contraindications and/or side effects.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I will research a drug for myself, and decide whether or not I should take it. I won't take just any drug that a doctor tells me to take. Some pharmaceuticals have not been adequately tested, and can cause a lot of health problems. I also won't get mammograms. I get thermography instead. I've done tons of research on this issue, and found out mammograms can be very dangeourous. Also - flu shots - never had one, never will. The fact that people are pressured to get flu shots is a huge red flag for me. O' Conchubair <Newfler wrote: I worked with an OB/GYN. I am presently an R.N. (Ret.)
