Had it with doctors!
Has anyone got so tired of doctors throwing meds at you that you sought out a hollestic doctor.. looking for a dr that is a MD.. but will get to the root of my problems.. either thyroid or hormone.. someone who will run a panel on me and not say.. "its not needed"... we use just TSH and if your not in menopause.. we won't run that panel on you...
I think I am taking the leap and will pay out of pocket for a dr. that will listen and screen for the things I want.. the state of Maryland is horrible to find a dr. that will listen.. you think with Hopkins in my back yard there would be at least one.. sorry for the rant... |

I know how you feel. I had an awesome holistic doctor but we moved about 45 minutes away from where he is

Go around the doctor. Go to directlabs.com or some site like that. Order your own blood tests. Take those tests to a naturopath if you need a prescription written. I haven't been to a naturopath yet but I'm even skeptical of those. My suspicion about them is that they want to take you for a long ride on the medical merry-go-round playing the guessing game with your health, playing trial-and-error with neutraceuticals, while being incapable of accurately diagnosing your condition/health problem. I know what I'm saying isn't happy and sounds like a rant but it is what it is. My experience with doctors is that they just get in the way. |

Biggest problem with the medical field these days is Pharma sales reps etc. They wine and dine doctors more than I ever do (im in IT sales). They have a quota based on doctors willing to push their drugs. Its easier and more lucrative for doctors to try to treat the problem with medication than to get to the root of the issues.
Not all doctors, but most. |

I'm always amazed at the number of reps that come in when waiting to see a doctor.. some have special rooms where they wait..
now all all for the reps where they can pass savings on the the patient with free samples.. but how often does that happen.. |
