  • Who out there is studying to become a doctor?

    Before you do, you should know some things! First, patients don't like it when doctors make you wait for hours on end after their appointment time but if the patient runs a couple of minutes late, the doctor "can't see them". Secondly, patients don't like being handed a bunch of pills as if drugs are the answer to everything! Third, keep your mind and your hands to yourself...... only touching when appropriate. Fourth, put some effort into helping your patient! Go the extra mile and when a patient comes to you with an illness, don't just dismiss or medicate it, tell the patient YOU DON'T KNOW but you are going to find out!! There's nothing I respect LESS than a doctor who isn't willing to put any effort into finding answers. Fifth, when a doctor simply doesn't have the experience to know the answer; there's nothing I hate more than this doctor who isn't willing to REFER me to a doctor with more experience! Sixth, don't expect your patients to respect you when you aren't willing to respect them. Seventh, DON'T make EVERY diagnosis about ONE MEDICAL condition. Such as, you are depressed. You don't have a medical illness, you are depressed. Meanwhile, missing the fact that the patient was exposed to toxic mold; for a real-life example.

    If you respect your patients, then they will respect you. If not, well; remember RESPECT is earned, not GIVEN regardless that you have a medical license!! Your patients certainly didn't give you that medical license BUT they can take it away from you! And I, for one; have no issue doing so!!

    Does anyone else have anything to add to this discussion so that MAYBE someone studying to become a doctor will actually read this and finally know what it is that we, the patients; want in our doctors?

  • Is there such a thing as a genuine caring doctor? Tell me your medical horror story!?

    Oh yeah, I've seen doctors who have sexually molested me. I've seen doctors who have crammed drugs down my throat. I've seen other doctors who couldn't make a simple diagnosis if their life depended on it. What I haven't seen is ONE, NOT ONE doctor that cares what happens to their patient or even takes the oath "first, do no harm" seriously!!

    Well, if I give doctors a bad rap: they've certainly EARNED IT!! Who else out there has a horror story to tell about their experience with doctors?

  • Has anyone else ever noticed that Michael Jackson doesn't look human?

    I mean, I look at a lot of the musicians from the time that Michael Jackson was singing and they all look like they've aged, maybe even not so gracefully but at least they all look human. I haven't quite figured out what kind of animal Michael Jackson looks like?? Maybe a tiger face? All I know is that he doesn't look human. Maybe since he's had convictions of child molestation, he shouldn't look human cause he doesn't act it!? What are your thoughts?

  • Why are we, as a society; allowing doctors to abuse their patients?

    One would THINK that this kind of abuse would be on the top of the list of the WORST kind of abuse imaginable. After all, patients go to these doctors for help, just to be emotionally, physically, and/or sexually abused.

    Strangely enough, doctors who abuse are MORE LIKELY to get by with it than any other person! After all, who is going to believe the patient since "they are" the patient? A patient who went to that doctor to begin with BECAUSE they had a problem they needed help with.

    On top of that, there is nowhere left to go once one has been abused by a doctor. Obviously, other "doctors" aren't going to help you. So now, not only does this person have the original problem they saw that doctor for, but they also have a new problem of abuse by that doctor.

    Somebody out there tell me where the JUSTICE is in this situation?

  • How far should the right to die go?

    When we talk about the right to die, how far do you think it should go? For instance, does someone who is suicidal have the right to die? Does someone who is dying from a disease have the right to die?

    Should we, as a society; help those who feel they have the right to die if they so chose to?

  • I would like to hear from YOU about detox from anti-depressants/anti-anxiety medications!!?

    I would like to know who ELSE out there has been through anti-depressant DETOX?? What was your experience?

    Although, I'm not totally against anti-depressants; I do believe that lots of doctors just hand them out like candy. Again, not ALL; but LOTS!! And not once, have I heard one word about just how hard it is to get off them once I got on them!!

    When it all comes down to it, yes; I was depressed. BUT, the anti-depressant wasn't the answer. In fact, it become PART of the problem.

    My depression stemed from being abused & neglected and began very early in my life. No pill of any kind could have done anything to help that. The sad part is that a doctor knew of the abuse & neglect, yet; sat there and did nothing to help. Actually, he PROTECTED the abuser; which was my sister.

    I know that is why, to this day; that I don't believe much of what doctor's say. That, as well as lots of other experiences w/doctors. And for those doctors out there: why don't you listen??

  • Why DON'T doctors listen & why do they just hand you PILLS??

    Why do doctors just ASSUME they know what is wrong when they haven't even had enough time to HEAR what it is about?? And why do they just hand out pills to make everything better?

    When you, the patient KEEP ASKING for AN ANSWER besides being DRUGGED into OBLIVION??? And after you REFUSE the medication, they call you "uncooperative". But if that QUACK would have listened to you to begin with, he would have known that you are against being medicated UNLESS absolutely necessary!!

    What happened to those good old-fashioned country doctors that cared?? Isn't there any doctors that care about anything EXCEPT MAKING LOTS OF MONEY anymore??

    If so, where can I find one????
