all this is so true! and what saddens me even more is that doctors would do the same even on children!

when we brought our son to the ER months ago (due to his asthma attack) he was nebulized with different kinds of nebule meds (ventolin, budesonide, and combivent) so many times! like almost every 20 minutes! i asked the doctor why have him nebulized so often in such short intervals and she said, “to challenge him.” what did that mean? well, she said it’s to see how quick he will respond to the meds and to what meds in particular. my gosh! it seemed like they were experimenting on our son! i could have argued with them about it (i almost did), but all i wanted at that moment was for our son to feel better and breath normally again. i really felt so helpless then, having no choice, and leaving it all up to the doctor to do her job.

that’s why we all have to do our part, too, on prevention so we and our families don’t always end up in the hands of these doctors, especially those who don’t even give a d*mn!

i don’t think the doctor’s role is to save lives but to enhance the quality of life.

Very true. almost all the doctors today deals only with symptoms, not about the real cause. They have med for every symptom you tell them, and they really stick to “by the book” kind of healing. They totally shut themselves out from alternative healings which are sometimes more effective, simple and cheaper.

i totally agree with the article and the comments as well “your biography is your biology” thats beautiful! i agree with the comment on how doctors have become mere agents of big business….in the end it should always be about YOU, how you take care of yourself and your family, everything else out there is just greed……

I could have written this article (but most probably not as well). =)

I feel there are a lot of medical doctors that have become mere agents of medical institutions and the powers behind them. This limits their capacity to truly heal the patient.

You are right. We expect, unfairly, too much from doctors. We expect them to “save lives”. This is something they cannot do. They perform tasks that prolong life perhaps but cannot save them because at the end, they cannot stop death.

On the other hand, doctors could do more with building living relationships with their parents; have an almost spiritual relationship with the patients. Get to know them. Then healing can begin. But how many doctors can really take the time.

When my dad died, there were questions about his doctor. My comment to my family at the time was very simple: my dad liked that doctor and they were friends. What more could one ask. One day, with the help of conscious doctors, we will all be able to heal ourselves.
