Two true stories. They happened to me.
First time my senile primary care doctor put me on hypertension medication, I though I was about to die.
I eventually went to the hospital and the resident doctor who looked at me and figured out what medication I was prescribed was shocked.
He told me the medication I was put on was at least twenty years old and rarely prescribed any more, it was probably the worst medication I could have been put on.
My son has a serious ankle bone issue, the first doctor told him he would have to have his bones fussed together and be a cripple for life.
I told him to see a real doctor, today, he can run again.
A friend of mine was told he would have to go on hormone treatment which unfortunately would make him permenantly sterile. Tough thing to hear for a newly wed.
He got a second opinion and this doc told him it was the medicine the first doctor had prescribed.
QUACKS I SAY!!
