Glad you made it out OK. Just like any other profession or group of people.... there are good ones and bad ones. Too many folks take what their GP says as holy writ, especially about things the MD may not have education in, such as kinesiology or nutrition. There are many very good ones, but you will have to interview them to find which ones align with your own thoughts on treatment. Good luck!I don't like popping pills, I don't like doctors! When I was a kid I got an abscess under my arm next thing I know I was in Boston Floating Hospital. A team of doctors were at my bedside every morning asking questions, putting tubes up my nose, pumping my stomach, sticking needles in my back. They thought I had Tuberculous, cat scratch disease and others. I cried to my mother and told her they were just using me for a Guinea pig. She went to the head of the board of health and asked if the hospital could keep me against her will and they said no. When my mom took me home they fought her and said I could be contagious. I remember me in my mothers arms and her having a screaming match with the head doctor. You know we never got any type of bill for a two week stay in that hospital! Because of that I don't like doctors. I only go to doctors now because my children beg me to go. I'm almost 66 years old and I guess I should be monitored for my health but I think I need a doctor that will work with me.
Sorry to hijack this thread with so many posts. I am just trying to give back, I have myself received much help in matters in which I am an amateur, such as saddle hunting.
