Are Doctors Doing Their Job Right?

[Rob W. Case]

A few weeks ago, when I was at work, I was stopped by a customer and asked if the company I work for gave senior citizens discounts. When I went to the front to go check, I gave the answer to the woman, and her and I engaged in a conversation.

The woman who is in her 70's was taking care of her mother who is in her 90's. The woman was in a wheelchair, because her arteries were so clogged in her legs that she could barely walk. The woman's appearance stunned me because she was thin for one thing, and she looked active. I was in a daze when her daughter told me that the woman was in her 90's.

When talking to the daughter, she had a lot of interesting things to say. She said that her doctor will not touch her because of her age. Now, I ask you. Is that right? Sure, on one side the doctor might not touch her because she is so old and on her way out soon anyway. Or perhaps, the doctor does not want to touch her, because if he does, and she dies, then he would have the FEAR of a possibility that he might get sued.

Thanks to lawyers, and their frivolous lawsuits, this country's doctors have to decide on life or death based on the fear of getting sued or not.

When the customer told me about the lady's condition, I remembered that my Dad and mom were taking a drug that was supposed to unclog all your arteries. I told the customer to wait while I called my parents to ask for the name of the drug. The drug is called Res-Q.

It turns out that the drug was taken by the late Eddie Albert for nearly 30 years. That is what most-likely contributed to his living to 99 years of age.

When I gave the lady the name and the phone number, she talked about how her pastor was suffering from a stroke, with blood dripping from his eyes. The doctor couldn't do much.

I shared with her a story about a friend of mine's deceased mother. She was told that she was going to have her hip replaced (since it was so worn out from her large weight), and issues came up. For a few years, she had excrutiating pain, until she died late last year.

When I told the lady at work the story, she told me that "you have to be your own doctor now a days."

In a way, she's right.

Doctors today are either ignorant or greedy. Doctors can only tell you what the charts tell them. Doctors have the power to prescribe medicines that will help ease the pain, but will not dig out the root of the pain. This method is to make more money with more visits to write more prescriptions. Then there are the fearful doctors who have a high anxiety over frivolous lawsuits. Then, there are those doctors who are morally and ethically sound, and who will work to ease your pain, not drag it out.

If you are have a doctor that actually cares, then you are blessed.

Food and Drug Administration Conspiracy:

One thing that has puzzled me within this year is the fact that the Food and Drug Administration is one in the same. The FDA can approve newer, tempting foods that can cause harmful effects later on. Then, when the effects take affect, then the drug companies make big money trying to assist you in "undoing" the damage.

I think what it all boils down to is personal responsibility. In this day and age, personal responsibility is one of thee most important things you will need to have to combat temptation and doctors. When that lady said that you have to be your own doctor, the words of wisdom rang so loud, that it made me question many of my own eating habits.

It is because of those d$$n idiots who try to sue doctors that cause doctors to shy away from any frivolous persuit. That is also why i don't what to go into the human side of medice. I'll stick with animal medicine thank you very much. Of couse, now adays people are starting to sue their vets now which is the dumbest thing i have ever heard of. Europe has it much better than we do. In Europe if you are a doctor, you cannot be sued while you are attempting to save a life, if that person dies. But they are also required to attempt to save people's lives at all times. Basically the have to carry a doctor's bag with them at all times. They can't refuse to help someone.

Too many people are money hungry. Lawyers instigate this because they want to line thier pockets.

After all, a lawyer's job is to make the case, based on possible loopholes and previous rulings, to create a "foundation" from which to make a new case.

What is scary is that every ruling made, whether ridiculous, or serious, affects law altogether. If a ruling is ridiculous, and the judge rules in favor of the ridiculous ruling, then another lawyer with a similar case will use that ridiculous ruling as a substance from which to base his case on.

That is one of the reasons there is such a humungous fight in the Senate over Judicial nominations. If you have far-left liberals running the show, they tend to sway towards things that we deem stupid. They are like "huh, I never thought of that." I know a liberal who says that he looks at the moon and asks, "Why War?"

To him, he is sincere, and wondering why, as he looks at the moon, why there is war. I think it is ridiculous. Lawyers want rulings to be ridiculous, because the more ridiculous they are, the more ridiculous people will sue over what we deem as "not a big deal" and line their pockets. It's as simple as that.

A year and a half ago my wife had to have her gall bladder removed and about three weeks after her operation she was in great pain. The doctor said it would go away in a week or so. 3 weeks went by and her pain was getting worse so off to the dr again he recommended her to see a urologist so we saw him, he looked at catscan and said kidney stones so he did procedure to get rid of them. A month later my wife still in pain so back to urologist again. He said he might not of gotten them all so here we go again with second procedure. Three weeks later more pain, we went to er this time and they said pancreatitus. My wife spent a week in hospital and was discharged. After p trips to the ER and 2 more hospital stays we finally got a appointment with a specialist out of town which he figured out the whole problem within 10 minutes. The doctor who removed my wifes gall bladder failed to remove the infection that was around her gall bladder. So this doctor used a huge needle in her stomach and drained all the infection and a months worth of strong antibiotics my wife was finally healed and no longer in pain.

We did talk to a lawyer about filing suit against the original doctor and was told we would be very lucky to find a judge to even hear the case.

I have had my primary care doctor since I got that swine flu back in 2009. It nearly did me in!

But, he has made some bad mistakes with me that I could sue if I want. I don't want!! For instance, I was allergic to the beta blockers he and the heart doctor were prescribing and that is why I could not breathe and the reason I had to get a home hospital bed. I thought it was the water pills but was put in the hospital to make sure it was not the water pills. I hated those "outpatient tests. I don't like that new technology they use to collect the urine while you sleep!!!

He also kept trying to send me to a gynurologist instead of a gynechologist. He seemed to think that the gynurologist also did gynechology, which is not true. I basically forced him to send me to a gynechologist. I ended up getting 2 D&C surgeries to try to correct my problems. The 2nd was to confirm I did not have uterine cancer and to insert a hormone releasing iud (new treatment).

I just quit the fluid (water pills) because they make me go too often. And I added the tumeric enhanced Glucosamin along with my potassium supplement and Centrum Silver.

Now, I need to get that China virus vaccine so I can hug my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. My favorite grandson will be flying home on the 20th of December from Ft. Lee Virginia where he got his skill training after boot camp. I miss him so much but he won't be coming here because of that stupid China virus. I believe China created this virus as a form of germ warfare to retaliate against the world because they lost a lot of their market for stolen technology and copied products.

China is always doing something to control population. I recall back in the early 90's the owner of the 24 hour family restaurant adopted 2 little Chinese girl babies because the Chinese people were limited on how many children they could have. They kept the boys. I hear that the boys that were kept at that time are having trouble finding wives because so many girls were adopted out to America. China has recently been exposed for the slave labor they use and forced abortions and sterilization.

Do we really want Socialism (aka Communism)?

I had a similar experience back in the 80's when I lived in Houston, TX. I had a ruptured appendix and peritinitis (sp).

And another time with a different doctor in the mid 90's (urologist) where I got what is known as blood poisoning after the surgery to do a sling for my bladder. It had to be redone. The small hospital where it was done the first time was closed because of their use of those products. That was back when there was a lot of bru ha ha about Johnson and Johnson surgical threads. My lower tummy hurt so bad and when I woke up one morning there was puss oozing out of a hole in my tummy. Caught some in a small clean jar and took it to my primary doctor who had it analyzed and he sent me back to the surgeon who was located at Southwest Memorial. Had to be catheterized and collect the urine and put hydrogen peroxide and some iodine like stuff into the stomach hole with a sort of syringe. Also had to keep a written record. NOT FUN!!! I should have sued Dr. Axelrad. When he got there to examine me when I went in because of the puss coming out of my tummy he had just gotten back from a botched circumcision, per conversation he had with one of his nurses which I overheard. Poor kid!!!
