Would you agree that medicine isn't quality anymore? I mean, it leaves you sicker than you already are!!!?

Medicine has always done that.  It is called side-effects.  Of course, you can investigate natural cures if you want to get better without the side-effects.

I don't anymore - they are horrible for your health, but take as directed on the package.

Seek out the products that are " pharmaceutical " quality. I personally proved the value of this. May cost a little more but you get what you pay for. Your health is worth it.

It is most likely because of the sick people, germs in the air, and various medicines or chemicals they have there. Have you ever had any of those medicines that smell horrible when you're about to swallow them? thats the most probable reason i can think of. Doctors' offices have many different chemicals in them for major or minor surgeries and just taking care of people

Consider, a hundred years ago medicine was practiced completely differently, it is an evolving practice.  Personally I would prefer to take homeopathics that have been used for thousands than an antibiotic that has been used for less than a hundred years.  Yes, each doctor has his or her own idea of how to treat an ailment, however there are certain socio-economic conditions affecting treatment.  Antibiotics are cheap, commonly accepted and easily prescribed, they are monitored to be the same in each dose and the individual only has to understand to take the medication as prescribed whereas an individual trying to take a more natural route has to understand when, how in what combination to take herbal supplements, dietary needs and changes and possibly the finances to see a doctor that is less likely to prescribe antibiotics.  I, like your sister took many antibiotics as a child (perhaps girls are prescribed more antibiotics than boys, generally men go to the doctors less than women do) was freguently sick and as a result have worked hard to improve my immune system with the assistance of an excellent holistic healer and get sick rarely.

Of course, if by "getting better" you mean cutting thousands of jobs, manipulating waiting lists and paying such low wages that they can't even keep hold of cleaning staff.\n\nOn the plus side... oh wait, there isn't one.\n\nI have recently been in hospital, and the service I received was fabulous.  The staff are clearly extremely dedicated and hardworking, but have to fight political battles every single day.

To most MD's we are just cattle, stupid beasts that have to be tended, and are there for them just to make money.  Time is money, I have asked my own specialist for side effects on a treatment he was prescribing and he just mentioned one, turned out I had a real problem with a side effect that he did not mention, and had to resort to webMD to find out what was happening.  You just have to get used to the system and learn to work with it, which makes us different from stupid beasts but makes them closer to sob's.

I am chronically ill.  Lately I found that my doctor has been mal-treating me for the last four years.  I am a peaceful person, but this has had me furious.  I have thought how much fun it would be to break him in half.  So, in this case it is good that I've not gotten out much.

That's quite a bit to sort through. I'll do my best.\n\nI believe that individual doctors almost always have the best interests of their patients in mind. Medicine as a whole, however, is far more interested in the bottom line. This applies especially to the drug companies. From what I understand certain diseases don't have enough people suffering from them to make it profitable to research treatments for them. Or, if the research has been done, there is not enough profit in manufacturing drugs to treat these people. I've even read that there are boutique chemists who make, by hand, very small runs of certain drugs at no profit to themselves, simply to help out.\n\nAs far as I'm concerned, this is inexcusable. Do I have a solution? No. Are alternative treatments viable? I'm sure that sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. Again, the problem comes down to making a buck. People who are suffering are, unfortunately, easy marks and snake-oil-salesmen have known this since the dawn of civilization.\n\nThe problem becomes sorting the con-men from the well-meaning, but dangerously untrained, from the people with actual remedies. This is very difficult and requires a tremendous amount of work on the part of people who often lack the time and energy to do the necessary legwork because they are sick.\n\nCoretta Scott King died seeking medical help from a quack. It is awful that she suffered such an undignified end, but as long as there are people to be taken advantage of, others will do their best to part them from their money. \n\nObviously not all alternative treatments are quackery, but they often get lumped together because of the actions of a few (many, actually) bad apples. I would suggest that the alternative-therapy industry engage in harsher self-policing as a way to remove the undeserved black-mark.\n\nAs for you responding to questions which are specifically targeted at individuals, I welcome this. The thing that I like most about Yahoo Answers is that it is a place that encourages the free exchange of ideas between anybody. I don't think that anyone can, or should, get upset when a targeted question receives several answers. That's the best thing about this place. So, feel free to throw your two cents in anytime. I really appreciate your response about Bush and Christians. I'd be very curious to hear what this man, who presumes to speak for all Christian Americans would have to say about that. Thanks for your input.
