    It's your mothers job to care about you. doctors's job is to treat your illness with the best of their abilities. Some doctors have better bedside manners that make you think they care more for you than others, but that is totally irrelevant to curing your problem unless its all in your head.

    all they care about is the money . . my husband has sinus 's and has been getting head aches well he went to the doctor and the doctor sent him for MRI, brain scan and then put him on migraine medicine . . we have no insurance so we are still paying for these treatments... yet my husband has had terrible reactions to the meds dizzy to the point he couldn't walk or even see straight and the doctor wants him to come in and will not even return a phone call we just get the appointment lady calling saying he'll have to come in but can't come in until the bill is paid in full . . we are paying 150 per month we owe 1900.00 so some time next year my husband will be able to go back to the doctor. Doctors don't care about anything but the money . . don't understand why the doctor didn't even try some sinus meds. probally cause there's not enough money in curing my husband

    Medical doctors know a lot about medicine, but they don't know much about health. If you want to regain your health, you must take matters into your own hands.

    Research alternative health treatments on the internet. Educate yourself, and stop wasting time and money at the doctor's office. They are good for emergencies, but not much else.

    I would select your own specialist and get a 3rd opinion. I know what you mean about doctors not caring. My husband switched doctors after he went to ours for rectal bleeding and bowel problems, and they gave him some nasal spray for allergies! What a crock. He switched, and then was referred to a specialist who had to do some minor surgery on him to remove some polyps. You might also try webmd.com , you can check on your symptoms and compare to what they are saying. It is very useful.
