I have utmost regard for most medical professionals
I do, too, but it isn't blind faith.
I once had gastric pains that were suggestive to me of appendicitis, so I read up on it, then went to my GP, who told me it was time to go to the surgeon since it looked like I had appendx.
The surgeon pushed and pushed for the surgery, but the damn appendix couldn't be visualized in a sonogram and my white blood cell count was not high. I told him, "No surgery" until you see that so-called inflamed appendix and my white cell count goes up.
Of course, vbg, I was right, I had every symptom of appndx except an inflamed appendix, LOL. Surgeon was very pissed at me, got his vengeance when he made me go through a barium enema which I couldn't really refuse thanks to my mystery pain, which was substantial. Still don't know what caused it. It went away by itself. |
