Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 This had to be a male doctor, right? Very condescending and arrogant. "Blame the patient." Good little girl? If any doctor said that to me, he'd get a full measure of _my_ holier-than-thou retort and I'm the lady to do it, trust me! Janet, please find a rogue doctor that has taken the less traveled road and good luck because they are scarce and most, hiding because of death threats, etc. Humph! Conspiracies! I hate them!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Betsy, Yeah that doctor was the Shipyards "hit" man to scare me into leaving. I was told while I was at work that I had to go see him. His office full of plants gave me an anasthma attack never mind the clinic hospital is a zillion years old and you see mold in the hall ways.They won though. I fought hard for a year Janet.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Erk, that's quite a story. Yes, she-doctors can be horridly arrogant. This one sounds like she wanted to peg you as someone with a persecution complex before she even got started. There is nothing irrational in feeling as though you've been poisoned. Even if you've never been poisoned before, you sure know the feeling when it happens.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 , Thank you for your encounter with Countess Dracula. I have been so shocked with doctor experiences. We had a female doctor who had worked for OSHA recommended to us in Houston. We both drug ourselves to her office after she took tests. She laughed hysterically over the fact that we could not hear her because of our otomycosis (deafness from the mold). Jim had just been released from the hospital with 4 heart attacks, so making a trip to downtown Houston was painful in itself. Her remarks were rude and ignorant. This still baffles me. It borders on stupidity and cruelty. She slapped her $350 bill in our hand as she laughed out the door. I now have a strong aversion to going to any doctor. I have another story about going to the head of the Asthma Institute in Houston that is disgusting. However, I do not want to be sued for slander by a doctor, who will not allow a nurse in the examining room when he is alone with a female patient. We are getting better by following the natural alternative route. I wish you good health. >From: " Betsy " <westoo@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: [] Re: go home...good little girl......ouch! >Date: Sun, 7 Dec 2003 10:56:52 -0600 > >Erk, that's quite a story.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 When there is a gag order on illness such as this, it is easier for a doctor to tell you you are crazy then to stand up and live up to their oath. In talking to one of the FDA members, the refusal to test, treat or acknowledge this exposure is the only way they can protect themselves from lawsuits and their precious pocket book. The truth is if they test for it, they by law have to treat it. If they treat it they give up all future income from cancer, adhd, alzheimers, ms, diabetes etc. etc.etc. The medical community only gets rich at the hand of our sufferring. They don't want it fixed. We had one nurse which had the guts to come forward in court about the gag order on mold related illnesses, I hope a few more will now come forward. Until all any of us have is each other.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I am astounded by all the "rip-offs" that Doctors get away with!!! Our automobile gets better treatment!!! If they do not fix it properly we have recourse to seek action for results and further repairs. A Doctor will tell you..."Medicine is an inexact science" No guarantee !!! i/e Doctors "practice medicine" ! I could never get away with that if I said that to a customer! We have been suckered into the belief that the AMA and FDA and more are all truthful and have our best interests at heart. That all went with the first politician we elected!!! Doctors are now facing law suits...so they raise the cost of treatment....to pay the insurance!!! Malpractice ... needs to be defined!!!! Any Doctor who is not offering treatment had better be clear why! Personally I would laugh right back at the Doctor in the attached message! I would say no treatment no pay!!! In all we do we try to provide value for value!!! When the value of a Doctors "advice or lack of" is worthless....it has no value!!!! A patients rights should be madatory and adhered to! My dollar should have the same value as that Doctors dollar!!!! Inflated bills for services are adding to the costs beyond a reasonable "value". I would love to see more Doctors realize that they are pricing the patient right out of the office! The insurance companies are in this "Hate" letter also...! My spouse was refused coverage after we moved and had to change carriers due to lack of local coverage. Not even the high priced ones would issue coverage!! All because she was truthful and said she was using an inhalor. PYA is what most of these Doctors and insurance co's do!!! Well they are in for a big surprise from us.....because we cannot pay them !!! We went in good faith to find adaquate treatment and received no positive assistance. The ER room was fast to give shots....quick to run expensive tests and even quicker to create $3500 for 6 hours of no treatment!!! (Patient heal thyself!!!). Asthma/allergy specialists are not any better....they don't get deep enough to know the real allergic reactions. But the bill is high because they are "specialists"....HA! Guess we have one recourse.....seek help from each other and natural solutions!!!! But we can also get a strong organization to back us!!! Maybe the American Legion or VFW or if we twist a few arms the AARP. :-) We do need to get justice and proper treatment and "respect"!!! Oh I did not forget...the drug mfg's also are guilty!!!! Not just of price gorgeing..but of untruthful statements and claims and lack of concern of humans who use the products expecting a healthy healing. And instead find they have endangered their life or actually died from reactions. My feeling is that they need to be held responsible for any addition treatment they cause. Again they are responsible for all of the Doctor RX that result from prescribing these medications according to the info they provide. The risks are not satisfactory for many drugs.....and the reactions from blended medications are untested!!!!!! I had to react to this ...Bryce On Sun, 07 Dec 2003 18:07:22 +0000 "NANCY GANDEE" <ngandee@...> writes: , Thank you for your encounter with Countess Dracula.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Why not carry a mini cassette recorder and record the exam. Then nail the guy if he denies anything? Check woth your state...if you are allowed to tape it do it. It's a great ace in the hole if you ever plan on getting him for claiming he did soemthing when he didn't. Always make him describe what he is doing...so you can verify he did all the tests he claims he did!
