Not that I do this often (usually only to get a blood test for myself) but I accompanied a friend to her doctor the other day. What an eye-opening experience and a humorous one at that.
This woman in the waiting room was talking on her cell phone (in clear violation of the NO CELL PHONE USE IN OFFICE sign) and was called to the back room to get her blood pressure tested. She remained talking on her cell phone. The door separating the waiting room and the back rooms remained open (how unprofessional) and the nurse (?) or assistant (someone dressed in those really cool scrubs) proceeded to take the woman's blood pressure. The doctor walks by and tells the woman she can't have her blood pressure reading done while talking on the cell phone.
Just how long has the scrubs-dressed person done this?
Another worker, a young scrubs-dressed person didn't know what natural supplements were.
The phone was constantly ringing and although there were many scrubbed-dressed worker people, the phone went unanswered.
The diabetes cookbook in the waiting room was filled with recipes with sugar and simple carbs and a mention that some organization has okayed some sugar for diabetics. That's like saying some alcohol is ok for an alcoholic !!
How many people do you know who have gotten a cold or the flu and their doctor prescribes an antibiotic, knowing full-well you cannot treat a virus with an antibiotic. Sheer lunacy.
Not only will the antibiotic NOT work on a virus (there are many herbal formulas that do though) but the antibiotic will kill the GOOD bacteria in your gut that is actually a part of your immune system. Instead of making the situation any better this is a lose-lose proposition for the patient but a future income stream for the MD.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Consult your local naturopath when you are sick.
