MDs and ego

As I mentioned previously, my wife is currently seeing too many doctors, and it’s really starting to bug me how each one thinks he or she has the answer. Not only do they have the correct answer, but all those other doctors are idiots for not having come up with the same answer as they did. I’m serious. They diagnose something that is within their specialty, and then call the other specialists stupid for thinking otherwise.

My wife recently had a neurologist suggest that go buy some colon cleanser product! What century is this? I really could care less if people choose to spend their hard earned cash on alternative treatments, but it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that herbal colon cleansers are quackery. If you’ve never visited Quackwatch.org, it’s worth a visit. Your wallet will thank you.

If I sound a little testy, it’s because I am. It’s been a very difficult few days. Neuropathy has been added to my list of things that really suck.

If you haven’t already done so, check out Chronic Chick’s new site at chronicchicktalk.com. She’s got her own domain now, and her new site is looking great.

Wick Davis has helped get us a category over at the LFA Forums, Caregivers of People Living with Lupus. Make sure you check it out. It helps to talk, or type, or whatever.

I’m really happy to have so many new visitors. I cannot tell you how close I was to shutting this place down last month. Thanks for all your support.
