Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 This really hit a cord with me too Sheryn:) Good post!! We have to always remember, WE ARE HIRING THEM! We have been raised with the opinion that the Drs know best. So we put up with practices that are heinous:( We dont deserve that. We need to never put up with that. Hard to crawl out from under that conditioned "patient" behavior, hard not to be the good/passive one we were taught. I think tho, to askkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk WHY?? and everyother Q under the sun and getting involved it a good thing. If your Dr doesnt like it, fire him:) If your maid wasnt cleaning your house right you wouldnt put up with it. This is a bit more important then your house:( ~~ Lowi who is not a patient patient:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 The right to a second opinon and a third is left up to the patient. That choice is yours and yours only. Where the treatment is also YOUR choice. If you choose to ignore the warning signs and neglect to do something else(as partaining to quacks) that choice is also yours.YOUR life depends on your choice. Unless you have given up your rights by the way of POW it is all up to you. BEANS Doctors Lori, what you've said is so very true, we are conditioned to certain patient behavior sadly, and no, we would not let a housekeeper or anyone else offering service for pay treat us in such a manner...not even the vet with our pet.I hope we all gain the strength to change the patient/doctor attitude to a more balanced level of importance, theirs and ours.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I or we drive at least 500 miles each way. I n the past 15 yrs there have been at least 15 trips,. We have borrowed the money, gifts from friends, our church has made special offerings,from people we don't even know. I t all adds up to others caring that you get the best treatment. That is right the NF disease can strike anyone we didn't ask for it and now we need help. Tell others your needs don't try to hide it and get the best help you can find.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Good for you, Rob! I fail to understand why doctors are so stingy with the prescription for strips. It's no skin off their back. Both in Great Britain and here in the U.S. I wonder if it's NHS policy? I think we have a couple of other members living in Great Britain - can any of you answer this question? Do you have any problem getting enough strips? If others in your part of the world don't have this problem, Rob, maybe you could switch doctors?
