Ash Wednesday Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 [quote name='marielapin' date='Aug 23 2004, 01:09 PM'] You really have to watch out for doctors. Just because they have a degree doesn't mean they are smart. Sometimes I wonder if they are just pawns of the pharmaceutical companies. [/quote] Tell me about it. Some doctors will overprescribe, and some will underprescribe because some get a bonus in monetary reward from some insurance companies if they have to prescribe less medication. My mom would probably be alive today if it weren't for the doctor that she saw last November. We might be going to court about it, and there is currently an investigation for wrongful death and misdiagnosis because he brushed off her symptoms, didn't prescribe antibiotics, and she died two days after being in the doctor's office. There's a lot of slimy [insert appropriate word here] that goes on in the medical field. A lot of secrets, sweeping mistakes under the rug, nudging and winking, and a lot of doctors that need to get the boot. Okay, I will stop now, otherwise I will be too angry to get my work done today. [b]Don't hesitate to get second or third opinions. Whatever it takes, because DOCTORS MAKE MISTAKES![/b] :irate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
