Re: Is Anyone Familiar with Dianos-Tech Labs........

Hello again.

Re:
"
I am so sick to death of the medical profession in this country!!!!!!!!!!
"

And it's not just in the U.S. I have factual reports -given to me by patients themselves-, of this 'phenomenon' apparently taking place in Russia and Europe, not to mention other places.








"
And, the freaking b..ch doctor who calls herself a doctor - christ, she wants to have a consultation (by phone - she is in New Mexico) for every damn thing at the cost of $200/hour on the phone!!!!!
"

$200/hour, man. Decent strip! [I don't mean to sound humorous about this frustrating situation of yours, it's just that it IS a decent sum]








"
Her response to me was:

I do not know ahead of time how complex the consultation to review lab results will be and prescribe appropriately until I see the results. It depends on how many different parasites you might have and whatever else may show up as positive that needs tr> eatment. I can send your results to you at no charge. But if you want me to interpret them and pr> escribe what is necessary to resolve any positive results, I do need to charge for that as it takes my time and knowledge of what effectively treats which parasite. If you want to take the results to someone else who charges less, that is fine.
"

No words.













"
...My apologies, my extreme apologies...
"

As far as I'm concerned I think your outrage is more than justified.





"
- but, isn't it illegal for a lab not to answer such a simple question??
"

One would hope that it is! Of course it also makes sense to consider that perhaps they got that "covered" by some lawyer expert in 'fine prints'.







"
Your remark about leaving the results up to interpretation are exactly what I was thinking. If that is what is done, then there is nothing definitive about the results - depending on who reads them, you get different analysis.
"

..which is the SAME THING that happens at the m.d.'s office. It happened to me and to almost EVERYONE I've spoken to. I'm sure that it must have happened to many on the forums, too. You go to different doctors, same fields, you get a different "opinion". How about that?













"
OK - I need a drink and perhaps I will look for a lawyer tomorrow. I do not believe in the crazy litigious society we have become, but, I'll tell you a lot of these companies derserve being taken to court. Like I said to this doctor in my email - what is the secret - what are you or they hiding when they will not only not discuss my tests with me but they won't even answer ONE SIMPLE QUESTION>....

Have you read the Hippocratic Oath, SPECIALLY where it states:

"...I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others..."

( http://classics.mit.edu/Hippocrates/hippooath.html )

Maybe the answer to that 'secrecy' is this simple. [Personally I suspect that the truth of it goes far beyond this oath, which I'm sure few m.d.s of today observe fully anyway]

Some medical doctors are even more subtle when it comes to 'giving information' to patients. You begin to ask them questions about your illness and they won't say out loud that the queries are upsetting them, but they'll make sure you get the message one way or the other.
