Some Doctors make me so mad. I know a man who was feeling bad. He went to the Dr and it was discovered that he had prostate cancer. He was told it was the early stages, he went through the normal things that people with cancer do, chemo radiation. Anyway after all that he was tested again and he trusted his doctor when the Doctor told him that he was cancer free. around five years later he went back for his checkup (he had been going all along once for a yearly cancer and overall health checkup) The doctor told him he was going to have to have surgery because the cancer was at an advanced stage. Not only that but he also told him that he was never really Cancer free. If he was never cancer free why on earth did the doctor tell him that he was. The doctor's reply, I told you that because the cancer levels were low.
My husband went to the same doctor because of shoulder pain the Doctor tells him, you are getting old, get used to it. My husband is in his mid 30's it should not be that bad. The pain did get so bad that he could not lift his arm so he decided he wanted another doctor to take a look at it. He did not want to accept the first doctors opinion. Well the other doctor discovered that he has a cyst in his shoulder that just so happens to be at a place that is causing him pain. That does not sound like old age to me. I think the first doctor just did not want to take care of his patient, he just wanted the person out of the office so he could move on to the next.
To some doctors it s a business, they forget that there are people involved. I think that some of the small town doctors assume that you will not go to another doctor, and the bad news is they are usually right.
