[QUOTE=The Last Standing Knight;



You may have a problem...or you may not. In this time I have found doctors to be more intersted in your wallet than your health.

Just some friendly advice.[/QUOTE]

I decided that years ago and I have saved the insurance co. and myself several dollars.
I also check on the side effects of medicine that they prescribe. I have very bad kidneys and when I had a knee replaced the doctor prescribed a pain med. that is hard on kidneys. I got the medicine changed.
A kidney dr. told me I needed to take a Potassium pill. I looked at the results and my Potassium was in the middle so I didn't that the pill but it was in the summer and I ate tomatoes at least twice a day and when I went back he said quit the Potassium pill. I told him I never started the pill and explained why my Potassium level was higher than the earlier reading. He cut that visit short
I really believe that if I didn't check behind the doctors I would be in worse shape than I am. I'm 82 and can still do some manual labor so I must be doing something right. Larry
