Dumb Doctor Stories

[Guest guest]

That's another swell one Beverly.

We should put together a collection of Dumb Doctor stories.

I wanted to keep the She-doctor story short and I didn't tell you what

she said when I mentioned chronic fatigue syndrome.

She said " I don't believe there is any such thing as CFS because we

don't know what it is " .

Upon seeing my expression of jaw dropping shock at this statement she

quickly tried to backpedal and said

" Well if it turns out that there really IS a CFS, it will be something

that we already know about! "

" We " obviously not including her because she doesn't seem to " already

know " about it.

The really rewarding part about having this sensitivity is perceiving

mold in a vast number of doctors offices with the occupants clearly

manifesting symptoms. I had one receptionist in a CFS specialists

office walk right up to me and hold her hand up to her head in what Dr

Shoemaker calls " the Pfiesteria Salute " and say " I'm so tired, I don't

know why " as if she could sense that I knew exactly why she was so tired.

Some of the world famous doctors I've fought with about this who told

me " that's impossible " have now become " experts " themselves and are

counseling people about mold - never called me back, of course.

" Just what the doctor ordered " .

That's hilarious and it goes to show that many doctors don't think for

themselves and only reach for whatever the pharmaceutical company that

bought their last fancy dinner and dropped off free samples recommended.

I'm sure that doctor just " happened " to have that nasal spray sample

laying around.

I call doctors who are completely lacking in diagnostic skills and

only refer to their manuals without question " Running Doctor Lackeys

of American Pharmaceuticalism " .

Good thing you checked the directions.

Just today we called our family doctor to check on a medication that we found contains

yellow 5 and 6. She said she did not have time to look up all the ingredients !!!! It was up to

the Pharmacy to do that..... ! The pharmacy when told this said that a RX is filled with

whatever is written on the RX ! ........who do we trust ??? Neither one if we want to be

sure what is in it we need to look at the info sheets ourselves and reject the RX before we

pay for it. You cannot return a RX ! Or so they say!!!!
