I guess I differ from many here in that I don’t think all modern medicine is bad. Five years ago, I had an excellent Asian American orthopedic surgeon install two branny new hips and I went from being in chronic pain to completely pain free, back to a daily 3 mile walk. Also, menopause can wreak havoc with Womens health; metabolism, BP, heart disease.. many of these being hereditary. I don’t take any prescriptions unless it makes sense to me. I maintain a relationship with a Primary Care physician simply to have access if needed. Doctors do not have to take on the liability of seeing someone with whom they are not familiar. I’m 71, my doctor knows where I stand on Big Pharma. It’s a balancing act.
I'll admit that there have been some good advances in allopathic medicine. I've profited from modern medicine in the past myself. Luckily I've only had to deal with non-lethal, non-communicable infections thus far. And I have listened to integrative medical specialists who seem to believe that there is a time and a place for allopathic medicine.
The lies, the deceptions, the fear-mongering, the one-size-fits-all medical model, the non-informed consent are a few of the things that ticks me off about conventional medicine. I think healthcare And medicine has become too politicized for one thing. And when folks starts talking about mandates, or not allowing people the option of taking the handful of prescription medicines that are truly safer and more effective at handling diseases. It's just about totally turned me and many others off from western medicine.
Fortunately there are other options to treat health issues and we flock to those. Some people in these crazy times I hear have gotten good results from working with ethical doctors such as yourself. But in this day and time if third-party treatment is needed on this end outside of emergency care. Seeking conventional medical treatment would be a last resort for me. God bless and keep you in good health.
Watch out, bad Doctors get incentivized and penalized ( esp with HMO) for not writing scripts and not giving every arm Injections. You will be the first to be cut loose in the practice. He/she pays for your non adherence. Our Ped actually told us and I accused her of conflict of interest. She sniffed. Then she eventually send the dear John letter I had been anticipating.
Thanks! I’ve been a healthy skeptic of doctors for decades. Pregnant with my now 35 year old daughter, I was possibly going to need blood transfusions…AIDS was emerging. I asked my ob/gyn about nursing … he scoffed. My husband worked for Prudential, he posed my concern to Pru’s top Doc… the guy howled over “your wife” being paranoid…yeah, well, I didn’t need a transfusion and yes, HIV is transmitted in blood transfusions….
