Re: quacks more to add to the list
Then there was the time that the almost killed my husband - he had some kind of prostate problem that is rare - but he was seeing a specialist in this who told him the severe pin was hemroids and sent him home with hemroid stuff - when that didn't work it was some other inane thing and on and on and no relief and finally rushed him to the emergency room - he was grey and dying form kidney failure - an emergency room nurse knew immediately what was going on and saved his life actually - He had been retaining 1.5 gallons of urine in his bladder - leave it to the nurses - the underlings right? He had some surgery and has been ok since. Why didn't this specialist get what was going on? He charges an arm and a leg for his so called services. This thing was going on for a month with extreme pain the whole time. The doctor who bungled the whole thing still had no problem with sending a huge bill for all his incompetent services.
Then there was the time AI developed some rectal bleeding - the doctor said I needed cortizone enemas and like a good little patient I did as told - so with the first one I blew up like a balloon gainingg about 12 lbs almost immediately - stopped taking them and put myself on cayenne and goldenseal and healed it that way and has not come back in all these years
another cayenne and goldenseal story was when I had mono and was sleeping 22 hours a day - the doctors said I needed to quit my job and go on welfare so I did the cayenne and goldenseal and was totally well in a weeks time and they and said I would be sick for at least nine months but there was not one thing they could do for it to help me. Boy are they ever stupid...
Oh there is more but you get the jist....
