[quote:Anonymous Coward 28631704:MV8yMDY0Njg3XzM0NzM4MzE5XzM1RjExMUM4] The medical industry has no cures for any chronic disease that includes cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Just pain pills. Most chronic disease is just nutritional deficiencies brought on by poor diet. [/quote]
Original Message
I was prescribed pain killers for a while and because of them I ended up with one of the most common side effects. But instead of admitting it was a side effect of the medication the doctor told me that it was a sign that my condition was getting worse (he then prescribed something for the side effect).
How often do they blame the patient and just claim the original illness is causing the patient to "deteriorate" thus giving them more reason to prescribe more medications?
Mine was a fairly simple example, but imagine if I had blindly followed the doctors. I'd be a brain dead zombie on 20 different medications by now and thinking my original condition was the cause..and that I was terminal from it.
Share your medical nightmares if you dare.
I'm curious as to how common they really are.
