I agree with your opinion completely. I was told after two stress test and testing I had a 75 percent blockage. I had the procedure to go inside and check the blockage and they did nothing and told me, Oh I was wrong and it is only 45 percent and we did nothing. I already knew there was nothing wrong because I only had stress test to help diagnose a loss of breath when using my arms and upper muscles, like pulling a garbage can quite a distance to the road and back. 5 years later I still have no answer for the most important question and I finally cut that heart clinic loose. They were milking my insurance and beginning to just waste my time giving me useless appointment to come back so they could milk some more. The doctor became rude when I ask simple questions and that was it for me. I have not been back since. They tried to bill me for a missed appointment which I had canceled by phone. I didn't go because they decided to make people sit in their cars and wait to be brought into the clinic for their appointments. Well I don't drive there I use the senior van because it is an 80 mile round trip. It was late December and cold but the point is the senior van don't sit there waiting on a person to keep his appointment. Final straw was the clinic trying to stiff me for 10 dollars for filling out an online form to allow email contact. I never finished the form because in the very end it ask for my credit card number to charge me 10 bucks for using online . I never finished the form and just shut it down and they still have the nerve to tell me I owe them 10 bucks. If they contact me one more time I am making a complaint to the proper authority for the state, let them explain to them the finer points of the law. Bad as I hate to I will probably go back to the VA , at least they only require you to make one appointment per year to keep your meds in force. That was another thing, that heart clinic stopped refilling my meds because I did not go back, but it was the VA who had prescribed my meds in the first place. They are just rotten there at that clinic.
A lot of corruption in the medical community now. Look at covid. They paid extra for covid patients at hospitals. We had a guy killed in a motorcycle accident, DOA but they did a test on him anyway. It supposedly came back positive. So they wrote he died of covid. For Pete's Sake!
This thread on another forum links to a Twitter post containing CDC data. It purports to show a 138% increase in lymphoma. The thread also refers to an 800% increase in cancers. I'm not conversant enough in the underlying data to feel confident in posting details here. The thread goes on for 3 pages with some intelligent conversation and some inane stuff.
I know they have found an increase in "all cause mortality", but I know nothing more than that. I was familiar with what some of the concerns were when the vaccine program began.
About 20 years ago there was some banter about the loss of manufacturing jobs in the US and how were we going to make it on service jobs alone. Well, the plan was to have medicine take up the slack. I see medicine as service jobs.
@Thomas Stillhere According to scans and doctor I am backed up all over my body. Surgery too big a risk ,which is fine don't want that anyway. Still have not asked the question that started this thread, but i am lying in wait for the right opportunity to strike out with that question. Our health is my only real concern on this move to another state. All the more reason I am having hubby checked out thoroughly before we go. @Mary Stetler , medical corruption sure isn't New, I know you are aware. About 30 years ago worked for a risk management company that showed me more corruption than I could handle. The lies told to elderly people in order to get payment on medical accounts, was bad enough. But found 50 doctors in one state using the same tax ID nbr! Not being a college grad I doubted my findings, so approached a trusted co worker who was nd had worked for Medicare 15 years. Yeep I nailed it . Between my findings and refusing intimidate people over their bills I gave my notice to leave. They wanted to know why. I told them, them turned and said See you on Dateline - and left. Of course I did not go that far, out of fear mainly. But later my coworker found more questionable things and when asking questions, was let go.
I have a routine doc visit in November, and I will tell him that I had Covid in February if he asks. But I'll probably skip the part that I took ivermectin and it went away in three days. I had an appt. this past May, but had a runny nose so we did a Zoom. He offered Paxlovid. Umm, no thanks. I already knew at the time it was mostly worthless and many people got rebounds anyway. He'd probably sic the FBI or armed IRS agents on me if they knew I took IVM.
G--I don't know why they'd note "chest pain" if none was reported. Were you in the exam room when your hubby saw the doctor? As for the mass removed during the colonoscopy, I'm sure that was just the node(s).
The only thing I know of that they remove during a colonoscopy is polyps. It sounds like that "heart" doc he saw was a quack with a capital Q.
I am confused. What do you mean backed up all over your body? Ask the question already. It makes me worry as I am not good with surprise strikes.
Yes I was in room with him and doctor. I think it was just polyps because if it were a mass removed -think we would have been told by doctor, there would have been testing on the mass. Point being, verbiage on medical reports should be more accurate .
@Faye Fox - left side under collar bone bone blockage 50- 75 percent left arm 90 percent,30 in middle of stomach, left kidney 30 and right kidney 70 percent. And that was 2 years ago. Artery blockage. I am a waling miracle
