do you believe going to the doctors

[hotcocoa]

I still go to doctors, but I prefer to handle what I can naturally.  Got a Nutribullet and food processor so I can make lots of better, healthy, foods.  So far, so good.  Rarely go to the doctor anyway.

I agree most doctors are sincerely trying to do their best to help you. If it wasn't for a couple of surgeries I had, and other family members and friends had we wouldn't be alive today.

I don't believe in going unless I really have to.  There are a couple of annual things (mamiegram and female ck ups, guy stuff annual) that I think you really should do, but beyond that, they really aren;t much help and  cost a freaking fortune!

I used to believe in doctors and thought they were there to help!! However, now I just think they want money and give me treatment/medicine that I might not necessary need and after visiting them, I don't feel better!! So why pay them to take whole bunch of medicine that doesn't necessary do any good to me?!

I am not a fan of doctors. The few I have been to in the past were kinda shady. They all want you to be on
medication. I also notice how they only treat symptoms instead of finding out the cause of your pain/illness.
Most of  them will quickly get you in and out. I don't like to feel rushed when I see a doctor like I'm just another
number. I understand they are on a schedule and can't sit with me all day. I just feel that they should at least
show some compassion. They always find a way to get you to spend more money. I don't mind going to an Urgent
Care facility or the ER if necessary. I try not to take pills. I think natural medicine is best. Before all of this technology
people were doing okay with natural healing. I think the medical/pharma industry is big business. They only want
your money and are not concerned about your well being. I'm curious to know what everyone thinks about Obamacare.
Do you guys plan to be chipped with the implant?

I agree with your friend.  After all, the only thing doctors do is MASK anything that is wrong with you by giving you POISON in the form of "MEDICINE".  I believe the more natural way to heal is always the better way so that being said, no I don't believe in "going to the doctor"!!!!!

I have lost a lot of faith in our doctors. It seems as though we are all treated like a herd of cattle and not as the individuals  that we are. The medicine that is prescribed now has more side-effects than what we are suffering from. If I hollor to take me to the doctor then I am about on my death bed. I do alternative medicine when possible and I have used this method for about 30 years. I am a firm believer that our bodies will heal itself if given time and the appropriate herbs. vitamins. minerals and nutrients. The Chinese can't be all wrong; look at their average life span compared to ours.

i have a freind that will not go to the doctors even when she needs to i told her they are there for her to get better

Growing up, going to a doctor was something you did if you got a cut (needing stitches), driver's license exam, or for your vaccinations. You rarely went to a doctor but if you did, you just went. No appointments were necessary. If you were too sick to go to the doctor, they came to you.

I rarely went to a doctor but if I had a problem, my doctor would refer me to a specialist. You could talk to him, too and tell him what was wrong. If I needed an operation, he'd send you to the right specialist for a consult. After your operation, you may have had one followup visit. That was it!

After my family doctor died (20 years ago), I didn't have a doctor until 2010. In fact, I had gone to him so little that they didn't even send my records to me. This new doc made me come in every 4 months, but he was close to the kind of doctor I used to have. Because of my sarcoma, I had to see 4 specialists every month, then every 4 months, and now the one rad/onc is in a year. My poor family doc has been left out of the loop. I haven't seen him in 2 years. I'm to see him as needed, but I haven't had to see him for any illness.

Besides, I've had enough of doctors to last me a lifetime!  LOL

P.S. Today, if you can't make it to the doctor because you're really sick, you have to call an ambulance. I had the flu one year and thought I was going to die, it was that bad, but I couldn't even get an ambulance. Then I had gastroenteritis so bad, I couldn't get out of my fetal position. No ambulance then, either. I had to work through both without anything.

I only go to the doctor when I absolutely have to.

[camellia0]

Sadly, there are people who don't trust doctors or are afraid to go. I usually go to the doctor yearly, because I would like to make sure that everything is ok. If she doesn't go to the doctor, is she doing something at home to try to take care of her ailment?

I agree with this.  A few years I went to doctor and was referred to a specialist and when I went there his nurse asked me if I was on any medication.  I told her no and she laughed and said you will be when you leave here today.  He puts everybody on medication.  She was right.  One I flat out refused and that made him mad.  The other I took the script home but I didn't take the meds.  He is an idiot and puts everybody on something.

I agree with lvstephanie, I don't run to the doctors for every little thing, but I do believe in going when I need too.

[mill8277]

I do think there are times when we should go to the doctor....just because they give you medicine don't mean you have to take it...but knowledge is power, to know what you are fighting against can help you to fight a better fight.....

[dmitchn1]

I believe there are certain aliments that it is necessary to go to a health care provider. However; I believe that if it's not life threatening a doctor will avoid helping you in order to have you keep coming back. A lot of medications are made to heal the symptoms but not the illness, which is the problem to me!

[Dynamite2013]

When I am really sick and all my remedies don't work. but I don't rush to a doctor but I do watch the doctor shows. Dr. Oz and the Doctors get really good advice that works for me. At present I take no medication but a lot of vitamins and I feel great. The best I have felt since I retired.  I think like I am 25 years old and react to things that proves that is how I think. Everybody I see at church especially says I don't look my age. But I also don't act my age. I truly believe that is what is wrong with some people they are afraid to act younger than they are. I really don't rely on what people think I only believe what is in my heart.

I hate going to the Doctors, but I have get a check once a year.
