Bloody Doctor!

Post by Lesley »

I wrote to him to ask about possible megacolon.
His answer: DRUGS!
"I reviewed your medications And it seems that you have not tried Amitiza , lubiprostone to treat the constipation . I would start with The lowest dose 8 mcg twice A day every other day and if not effective then use daily It may also decrease bloating".

Those bloody things are contraindicated for anyone with diarrhea. I alternate between the 2. So Amitiza is guaranteed to cause diarrhea.

WHAT A CROCK OF shi* - If I may be crude!

BTW Tex, I told him and regular doc about your book. Neither of them related to it.

People who already know everything there is to know about a subject are never interested in wasting their time learning more about it. :lol:

And a lot of doctors are certainly not interested in reading anything written by someone who is not a doctor. That's beneath their professional dignity.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

You do know the difference between God and a doctor?

God doesn't think he's a doctor.

I've never heard a joke so apt about any profession ever!

What a lot of bloated, stupid, insensitive, drug prescribing - I could go on but you guys can fill in for yourselves.

Lesley,

This just reinforces what we already know....you have take a very active roll in your own health. Which we have done. Good luck, keeping you in my thoughts.

I agree, but I also feel we need to always keep in mind that there are also many good doctors in this world..... on this board, working in the world's hellish places, challenging (profit driven) orthodoxy......

(Just wish they were the ones with the power).

Best, ant

Sorry, Lesley, but not the least bit surprised, so many of them just seem to lose all interest in learning anything once they get their medical credentials, don't they?
