[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 4056611, member: 24452"] It could happen, but my philosophy is that if I’m going to die this afternoon, I want to be just as surprised as everyone else. I’ve watched too many people get into an “endless“ loop with doctors visits and prescriptions, and I have no intention of falling into that trap. I put quotes around the word endless, because it doesn’t have to be. Overall though, people don’t think and research for themselves and put undue trust in a profession that’s ultimate goal is keeping patients coming in and making money. I believe the internet joke that a doctor’s motto is “a patient cured is a customer lost.” My wife is a classic example of someone in the endless loop. She’s overweight, but instead of her doctors addressing the real issue, they have her on multiple medications for the effects of her obesity and have her coming back in every 3-6 months for a “check up“ (ie another paycheck for them). I’ve told her for years that if she get out of the house and get some exercise that she would feel better. She used to use her knee issues as an excuse, but at this point, she‘s had both knees replaced and still sits on the couch complaining about not feeling good. [/QUOTE]
