    you should of seen the different groups that came to my grandpa's hospital room trying to get him to sighn up with them. they weren't drug people, but like this one came by wanting him to get on their glucose meter and for him to get his strips from them. Here he was attached to all these machines layed up in this bed and they come around trying to "sell" him something. it's crazy.

    It's to the point where it really affects the care and treatment you get. I think the only useful thing doctors can do nowadays is early detection and treatment of cancer. Insurance companies manage to bring everyone down to their level.

    People need to get smart and start rejecting all the drugs doctors try to put them on. I just found out my dad is on 7 different medications. He told the doctor he was feeling blue about a year ago and has been on antidepressants ever since. How are you supposed to even know how you feel unless you can feel your feelings?

    when I went in for a physical (40 years old), I had a small "anomally" on the ekg, and ended up having to go in for a stress test, and then a heart cath. Hope all turns out well for you.
