Drs = healers??

i'm sick lying in bed trying to sleep again (literally typing on my sides with a couple of fingers). Cant sleep that well especially in between naps i had to pick up zareef from smart reader. Malasnye(you know that feeling) and lenguh nak get out bed tadi. And to top it of.. 5 minut'es dalam kereta zareef was already snoring while i was struggling to keep awake.

I wanna share what happened at the clinic today. Sometimes i get the feeling that dr's especially GP's are well.... not as helpful as we would like them to be. After all the inspection (setakat temp, pegang tonsils and tengok mulut je) this morning the dr didnt even mention once whats wrong with me. all i know lepas check... "you tunggu luar" aikk .. i tak habis ceriter sakit lagi dah kena halau. but i didnt protest because i knew i was getting my m.c. The real reason i was going there in the first place.

The only advice i got from her was not to drink ice water. duhhhh!!!! Zareef pun tahu tu. dah kalau minum boleh rasa sakit lagi of course you shouldnt keep on doing it. Ohh yeah.. another thing she said was dont forget the antibiotics. Belum apa2 dah ceriter antibiotics. everything antibiotics. ask any real dr's. antibiotics is normally the last resort. sakit sikit je makan antibiotics will make your immune system weak. dah lah normally they give the highest end antibiotics (lebih profit ke .. tak tahu lah). normally antibiotics bagi yg kurang power2 until tak leh baru bagi yg power. i asked a specialist pasal antibiotics and he said too much will kill the good bacterias in the belly. In other countries, like its suppose to.. antibiotics is the last resort.

And in other countries.. clinics dont hand out medicine. theres a big reason for that. so dr's dont push the products. its open to abuse (you kena makan ubat yg i jual ni). plus kesian pharmasicts.. nak cari makan pun susah sekarang. The industry knows this but what to do..


Did you know mis-diagnosis is among the biggest cause of avoidable death (behind road accidents and smoking.. i study dulu) in the US. Dr's can say aynthing and get away with it. certain dr's in klang valley are even known for it. A clinic in seksyen 13 shah alam, will always say air ketumbuh (i hope i spelled it right) masa mengandung sikit.. and push for a cesaerian. Certain surgeon will always push for an operation. Confronting these crappy drs. (after second opinion and kantoikan diorang), they will just shrug it off by saying 'its my professional opinion'

Ok.. enough bashing of the profession. please dont get offended if ur a dr. or anything like that. some drs. are so wonderful, you'll be waiting in line for hours wanting to see them every time.
you wouldnt want anybody else taking care of your loved ones. its the lousy drs. that i want to highlight.
