You know, my sister, who ALWAYS does what her Dr. says, had her gallbladder removed because the Dr. said she needed to have it removed. After the surgery, she developed a severe staph infection (from the hospital) and years later, still doesn't have full function of her arm. A few months ago, she developed Arthritis and was given medication. I am not sure how this happened, but because of the steroids she was taking for the arthritis, she now is a diabetic and more medication. She has high blood pressure and high cholestral and takes medication for that.
Do I believe in what a Dr. tells me? I am in a "Dr. family" (relatives) and I believe you go to your Dr. when all else fails and then make your own decision.
Your Dr. is the 4th leading cause of death. I will leave it at that...................
