Gone are the days of the country doctor who comes to the house and leaves with a chicken, or a basket of eggs. Today’s doctors are in league with insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and the hardships of maintaining their own homes, cars, kid’s schooling, their own schooling, and clubs. They are out there to make money.
Get past all of that and there is still youth and idealism to deal with. I have years of dealing with my own body. The idea of turning it over to someone else, no questions asked, is beyond comprehension.
The advantages of a clinic are the differing opinions of the doctors there. If anything validates my concerns this does. There are very few real Dr. Gregory Houses. Doctors are people like all the rest of us. They are trained to make decisions, by looking at the symptoms and then they issue diagnoses accordingly, but there is no guarantee he is right. If he is wrong? Well, he tries again.
I, on the other hand, have to live with the unnecessary surgery, wrong diet, and side effects of medicines, which can actually be terminal. It happens even with the best doctors. I KNOW people who have been more messed up by their doctors than by nature.
Ask questions! Listen to the answers. Then evaluate those answers!
This is your life!
