EVELYN'S VIEWS ON MEDICINE 1-29-19
MEDICINE:
"An Educated Guess".
The more
specialized the doctor is, the more educated the guess is!
The patient is
in trouble when the doctor is under the delusion that he knows everything about
the problem(s) causing the patient’s illness.
The patient
enters disaster mode when the doctor is convinced that he knows more about the
patient, than the patient does about himself or herself!..
Don't Walk -
"Run" away from a doctor who knows "everything"!
That's a dangerous
person who thinks he/she is God!
This person has
to be immediately reminded that the position of God has already been filled!
This doctor is
delusional, narcissistic or dwells in a weird psychosis.
In other words,
he has problems!
Coming into
medicine with medical issues, we certainly do not need the doctor's problems.
Oh we, patients
when dealing with many doctors, we need more than medicine, we need “prayers”!
This is
especially true when at the mercy of some doctors who push for the quickest and
strongest treatment(s) to cure the illness/
The cure may be
risky and sometimes the treatment may be worse than the disease.
We people as patients
must be so careful!
We have to hold
our trust in our pockets and hope for doctors who want to get to know us.
We need medical
professionals who can form a good, trusting relationship with us, as their
patients.
Emergency room
medicine: I would suggest “only” in an emergency!
Emergency Room treatments
are fast, strong and these ER doctors are used to saving lives.
Even if your
medical problem is not a life or death matter, they may want to save your life
anyway.
The treatments
can (I'm not saying would) cause eventual harm and might even lead to an
inpatient hospitalization.
My friends,
stick with doctors who don't know everything, who are honest and who don't know
all the answers.
Definitely avoid
doctors who are off to cure the world!
We patients
have to use our own intelligence and gut feeling to find a doctor who would be
suited for our individual physical, medical, spiritual and emotional needs.
I would devote
my time and trust and to look for an honest, experienced, compassionate,
capable, competent and caring doctor.
These
particular doctors are still around.
Shop with care
for a doctor, whose personality suits your own personality.
A sense of
humor helps a lot!
Laughter can
relieve stress for the patient as well as the doctor!
Prayers definitely
help!

*These are only
my opinions & observations.
My current
education is observing doctors, very closely, while getting to know them from
the other side of the health care spectrum.
