View Full Version : Doctor's, do they really know what they're doing? I hope so.
michelle 06-25-2002, 12:35 AM Hey all! Went to the doctor on the 19th for the headaches I've been having. His phyican's assistant said just some earwax get your ear washed out and you'll be fine. O.K. here it is June 25th and I have pneumonia. Don't you think she could have found that so I wouldn't of had to have a breathing treatment, 3 shots in my rear end, plus an x-ray. Along with medicine to take. An I have to go back on Thursday to see if my lungs sound good enough to go back to work. :confused: Anyway, my son helped me out some he's seven and he's a real jewel!:) He helped mom with the laundry and even put it in the dryer when it was time then put it in the basket, so all I had to do was fold it. Well, I do need to go so thanks for listening, michelle:dance:
soraya 06-25-2002, 02:54 AM Michelle, your son sounds like a precious jewel indeed! let us know how the other tests go.
aprilcat 06-25-2002, 06:30 AM michelle ~ i learned through the hard way that doctors don't always know what they are talking about! if you feel uncomfortable with what you are being told, PLEASE go get another opinion!!!
your son sounds like a wonderful boy! how lucky you are to have him!!!

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE REALLY HAVING A HARD TIME RIGHT NOW.... I AGREE, SOMETIMES DOCTORS DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO REALLY FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WHEN YOU GO TO THEM.... IT DID NOT USED TO BE THIS WAY, BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED...
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF RIGHT NOW THAT WILL HELP YOUR SITUATION.... SOME MIGHT THINK THIS IS OLD FOGGEY TREATMENT, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS USED IT AND IT WORKS..
1) INSURE YOU DRINK ORANGE JUICE OR ANY JUICE WITH VITAMIN C.
2) TAKE A VITIMIN C 400 ML DAILY SUPPLEMENT
3) EAT LOTS OF SOUPS, CHICKEN, TOMATOE, ETCH.
4) AT NIGHT, GREASE YOURSELF WITH VICKS METHOLATUM COVER YOUR CHEST WITH A TOWEL AND KEEP COVERED UP DURING THE NIGHT... THIS WILL HELP RELEASE THE TIGHTNESS IN YOUR CHEST..
5) INSURE WHEN YOU GET UP THE NEXT MORNING THAT YOU USE WARM SOAP AND WATER TO WASH YOUR CHECK AND PUT ALCOHOL ON IT TO CLOSE POORS.
TRY THIS AND IT WILL HELP THE THINGS THE DOCTOR HAS PRESCRIBED..
HOPE YOU ARE BETTER SOON.... THAT IS ONE PRECIOUS YOUNG MAN YOU HAVE

Valerie 06-25-2002, 09:48 AM Michelle, I do these old foggey things also,and they do help.
michelle 06-25-2002, 11:39 AM Thanks alot,guys. I will try these things and let you know how it goes. It sounds like those things help alot! an thanks for the comments about Randy! I think he's one special boy.:) Michelle
BillnDenise 06-25-2002, 11:56 AM Michelle, I hope you start to feel better soon. I know it's rough being sick.
DJohnson 06-25-2002, 12:11 PM Michelle,
I hope that you are feeling better soon! Being sick especially when it's so hot doesn't help matters 1 bit.
Your little boy is so sweet to help you w/doing the things "mommy" can't do right now!
sherri13 06-26-2002, 11:45 AM MICHELLE- TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND GIVE YOURSELF AND RANDY A BIG HUG FROM ALL OF US!
CREAMYALMONDZ 06-26-2002, 01:33 PM Some doctors don't that's why there are so many medical malpractice cases against them. Too little time as a resident! They even have residents acting like real doctors, to fill in for the real ones while they are vacationing in the Hamptons!
Mary S. 06-26-2002, 08:51 PM Sorry to hear about your illness. Not all medical professionals are the best but if you think about it there are those types in every profession & walks of life. What a precious son you have! Take care and I hope for your speedy recovery.
Sandy 06-26-2002, 08:54 PM Michelle...Hope your feeling better and everything goes well! And just a little word of advice from someone who works in the medical field.....if your not satisfied with one doctors opinion....definitelty go see another doctor!
Take care of yourself ...sounds like you have a wonderful son to help you out!
michelle 06-27-2002, 10:38 PM Thanks for all the advice you gave me to get well. I'm starting to feel better and can try to go back to work tomorrow so I hope I can because lying and sitting around here is about to drive me crazy. Thanks again-Michelle
