Almost off topic: Radiologist and some thoughts
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 10:14 am
Hi all.
I feel a little down these days. I have gained some weight, 30 lbs, due to an antidepressant. I am a little confused, too. Not MS confusion, but rhetorical. Here are the facts:
Neurologists disgust me. I can think of no symptom they can really treat. Spasticity? Oscillopsia? Paralysis? Blurred vision?
How about diseases? What can they really cure, or at least help, without ruining the life of the patient?
MS? ALS? Alzheimer's? Parkinson's? Epillepsy? Spinal Cord Injuries? Cerebral palsy?
In my country we say for worthy people: "This man touches coal and turns it into gold!"
For neurologists I would say: "They touch gold and turn it into sh*t!". What to recall?
Spasticity / Can't walk -> Baclofen -> Still spasticity + weakness, but the super dooper wow scientific index decreased by 0.00012132 degrees! WOW!!!!! This is magic!
Depression -> Remeron -> Felt a little better till I realized that I gained 30 lbs, then felt the same. No effect.
MS -> Rebif -> No effect on MS! Felt like SH*T 24/7/365/4 years
MS -> Oh, take Noventrone (I didn't) -> Heart issues, leukemia, doubt it would work on my MS
Spasticity -> Physical therapy -> Too much pain, absolutely NO gain! And, of course, no money back warranty
Apprentice wizardry. We don't know what MS is, but we are gonna give you drugs that will make you feel like sh*t and, of course, will not work at all! Why are they in love with strong drugs? Couldn't they prescribe safer ones? They would be equally ineffective, anyway.
Doctors should be only paid after they offer real help. They shouldn't if they fail. Would you pay for having your car fixed if they didn't fix it, not to say if they broke it down even worse. So, why should we pay doctors and not ask for compensation, instead?
I have found a radiologist that is wonderful. He is very interested in the whole CCVI thing. I had a dopler done, but it was not correct. We will do it again, because he didn't know what exactly to look for. Actually we did it because he had never examined the veins of the neck in his career and wanted to see if he can find them. We know know exactly what to look for.
He studied in Italy and he will be visiting Ferrara in September for a conference and will meet Dr Zamboni, too.
My conclusion: Doctors are corrupt by the power their God-like position gives them, but there are very few among them who are humans, too.
Thanks for listening.
