Lipitor/unhappy doctor

[Guest guest]

Nice to read the success story. I smiled as I visualized a woman

having fun jotting about the European landscape with a jest for

life and the health to enjoy it. How neat.

 

And what is so saddening about your post is the statement regarding

the doctor " he was not happy with the changes he made " .....

 

In my romanticized idealized version of doctors (probably from

old wild west cowboy TV stories of doctors on the prairie with their

little

black bag) ---- in this version doctors were dedicated, sensitive

they gave it their all, cared deeply for their patients, and did

what ever was necessary to save their patient or help them

recover and return to productive life.

 

And you had to be pretty

productive to survive and thrive in those times... no order in

pizza, ipods, or " ten ton " tractors to plow the land. So recovery

was really important.

 

Would these doctors have said to some native shaman -- No,

you uneducated heathen, I will not try your willow herb (or whatever).

Most likely most would do what ever helped their patient and

rejoice with good results even if it was something new and different.

 

(Yes, there must have been some evil, jackass, charlatan, bad-guy

educated-idiot doctors back then too, but more like what I

described above)

 

Now doctors put women on a pit drip so they can deliver a baby

at their convenience. Now doctors treat layity with condescending

pajorative attitudes. No doctors rely on one-size-fits-all latest

new trendy pill production line approach. Not telling you on this

forum anything you don't know, just lamenting the absurdity and

in-humanity of this.

 

And now they are more concerned about patients following

their protocol and authority and prescriptions (and sometimes

their pocketbook is the prime factor as well) than they are about truly

healing or helping the patient be the best they can be.

 

How sad that he could not have said -- I rejoice with you that what

ever you did worked for you (even if I could never recommend it for

another).

Even if he was not willing to " go there " -- check it out and learn

something,

its still very very sad that he could not say

" Yes, I REJOICE with you and am happy for you that you are now

once again enjoying your life. "
