8. I did, once upon a time, have a very good MD. My mom used her, too.

I credit her with helping us get answers about my dad. He had been misdiagnosed with MS (seriously, what 69 year old man develops MS??) when he actually had a brain tumor. She found us a GOOD neuro surgeon who made the correct diagnosis but it was too late. His last year was so traumatic.

My sister was lead down the garden path by her doctors, after her 3rd cancer diagnosis. She was basically poisoned to death. And it was an agonizing death. It was like she was being treated as a cash cow.

I was lied to by a physician who told me they thought I had a fungus infection in my lung when they actually thought it was cancer. What ever it was 'disappeared'. Huh?

My aunt was never told, by her doctor, that she'd had cancer. He and her boss thought it would be to hard for her to handle. In truth, she was one of the strongest women I've ever met. They she was put on HRT and the cancer came back with a vengeance.

My grandmother was put on HRT when she was in her 70's so she wouldn't develop a 'widow's hump'. That's really what her doctor said. She died of cancer.

So, yea, I have very little faith in doctors.
