It's really sad, but most people I know who have dealt with doctors in the past 2 years, now just what a joke it can be. That's not to say that all doctors are bad, but it's getting more and more difficult to find ideal ones.

I had stomach issues, went to many doctors, and always got the run around. After years of doing research and keeping logs, I finally tracked down the issues of concern and dealt with them myself.
What I hate is that doctors say take these antibiotics (and I do need them or get abscesses)... but what is so wrong for them to explain the downsides and then natural remedies that will help offset the side effects? They wouldn't lose a patient and neither would big pharma. The antibiotics are needed because without them I need more frequent surgeries but why not some guidance in other areas?
