How Many Dr.s is too Many

Doctors, doctors and more doctors. Seems like my whole life is doctors. Half the time they can’t tell you what’s wrong with you. I have consistently asked dr.s what the “diagnos is before and every time I got” what do you mean diagnosis?” I honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Makes me wonder what happened to going into medicine because you cared not for the almighty dollar. I have been sick all my life. I was born with a valve problem, I won’t even try to spell it. My valves keep closing up. When I would try to tell them my heart skipped beats severely. I was told “you’re too young to have anything wrong with your heart. I believed them. In my late 30’s early 40’s, I started having minor heart attacks, and strokes.

So much for me being “too young” to have this condition. I was born with it. Chances are I’ll die from it. I noticed though lately and even then, My dr.s aren’t even examining me, or anything besides what the nurse does, I feel like I’m one of many on a revolving door. They come in talk for 5 minutes or less and then the dr.s gone.

I am on numerous medications, too many if you ask me. I have had 3 back operations and 2 hearts operations.One very scary and horrible, torturous heart procedure. Every time I go in I get a new medication, but no diagnosis. They give me band aids, treat the symptoms and not the problem itself, no cure. I’m not sure I’m ever going to get the answers.

It irritates me when I go to my dr. and the first thing out of their mouths is money. What happened to the good old days , when dr.s cared enough to make house calls. Now they don’t even call and check on you anymore.

Now, I’m not saying there aren’t good dr.s there are. Quite a few in fact. It just seems like today you can’t get help if you have a long term illness and there’s no insurance. I have sat in waiting rooms watching very sick people be turned away because they have no insurance.

We need health reform badly, not someone out to make a buck off of the tragedies of others, People that can’t afford health care should get it. There’s an awful lot of couples both working 40 hours a week,plus. They can’t afford it and should have it.All children and elderly should have health care and great healthcare at that.There are so many holes in our health systems, It’s like no one cares about you.
