Thank God for the Internet. I was able to diagnose myself with a systemic candida infection after my general practitioner and my obgyn told me it was just post partem depression. They pushed pills on me that didn’t work, and then tried to push more pills to help the first pills work better. Sheesh. Also, when I was having trouble getting pregnant I was able to research all info and talk to my obgyn like a pro. Instead of trying for a year and then start the testing, we were able to go straight to the testing because of all the information that I had recorded about myself.
“They pushed pills on me that didn’t work, and then tried to push more pills to help the first pills work better.”
And this illustrates the problem.
If the docs would offer a better service, and research less invasive methods to solve medical problems instead of just throwing the latest pharmaceutical product at their patients then they would find their patients would not feel the need to research on their own.
