Vets need to be consulted

About a year ago I had a surgeon tell me that I had a torn rotator cuff and needed surgery. I opted to follow a set of therapy exercises instead. Now I have about 90% usage of my arm There was no guarantee that the surgery would give me any better than that. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Even if it meant they would have to carry me out of the ring. I am too old for it now. -- Count Baldoni With me it isn't the money. Taking a pet to the vet is just a PIA.....They don't understand that you are trying to help, and the vet wants them at some inconvenient time and then thinks that you can give them a pill easily, or do some other regular procedure easily......People doctors are the same way.....I will put off going to the doctor myself until the last possible minute, hoping that whatever it is will go away, or cure itself........ Which is why idiots like you don't discover their cancer is too advanced by the time they go to the doctor. You are a poster child for why it is important to see doctors and veterinarians early and often. Lots of times the doctors make you WORSE, not better. It's a far cry from what is supposedly the standard in the Hipocracy Oath. You mean like my brother in law? - He had some symptoms of prostate cancer. He went to the doctor, and the doctor said, "Oh don't worry about it Ed, all men your age have those kinds of troubles." - So, He waited, and the symptoms became worse, so he went back. This happened several times. Then one day, while sitting in his doctor's office, he read an article in "RN", a nurses magazine. It listed the 7 symptoms of prostate cancer. When it came time for him to go in and see the doctor, he brought the magazine with him. He said to the doctor, "Do you see these 7 symptoms of prostate cancer it lists here doc?" And the doctor said, yes? And Ed said, "well, I'VE GOT EVERY F***** ONE OF THEM!!!" He died three years later....... This is typical of the state of the medical profession today.....They are, for the most part, still a bunch of snake oil salesmen selling their crap from the back of a wagon somewhere........The only ones who really know anything are the surgeons, who actually do something for people and animals..... (BTW, I worked with surgeons and they too regularily ****up) There is ALOT of truth to this. The more I see doctors the more I realize how terrible medical services are in the USA. The focus of course, as with everything else in this ****ry (sic) seems to be on MONEY. Have good insurance? You will probably be OVERtreated. Have little or no insurance?-their attitude is, well, 'you're going to die anyways, so why bother'. Lots of incompetence also. There is a good reason why there are so medical malpractice lawsuits-namely, because there are alot of ****ups. Ditto for the drug companies. Last antibiotic I took nearly turned my liver into jello and the doctor never even warned me about side effects from the AB. I was watching Chavez' vote in Venezuela. Too bad the people did not understand that here is a guy who sincerely wants justice for the poor working man. Not like all the greedy, power hungry corrupt politicians here. The capitalism in this Kuntry is an evil, corrupted form of capitalism of profit above all else. Vets are worse, at least the ones in Tucson. Greedy, greedy, greedy. No ethical qualms about refusing treatment of a suffering animal due to owners inability to pay in full, IMMEDIATELY. Bunch of pigs, least the ones I've dealt with. |
