Good job on illustrating just how F’d up this stuff is.
I work with retirees.
Tell you one thing, the more a client goes to the Dr., the more likely they are dead soon.
Granted, some people need care for an acute situation, but frankly more often than not the Health System is trying to find clients to charge, and get addicted or prescribe one drug after the other.
In the early 1970’s, I worked with an old guy who had occasional prostate trouble. He said he wouldn’t be able to pee for a couple of days and he would drive with his wife to a doctor in Dallas.
He said the doctor stuck a probe way down in his urethra, past the prostate. Then the doctor pushed a plunger which caused some blades to pop out and he drug that thing out. He said a lot of blood and urine came out right behind the probe.
He took his wife with him so she could drive back home. He said he had trouble walking out of the clinic, much less drive. I don’t know for a fact if this was true or just a horror story to scare me. If it was intended to scare me, it did.
