Good lord! I know that I've learned that just like any profession, there are a few really good, a lot of average and a few really bad Doctors. I just hope that I end up with mostly average or good ones!
I do not trust very many.. Red flags will go up and I will run for the hills. I have not found too many good doctors. I always have my guard up. I do all my own research and do not even complain about something unless I know what it is, what the treatments are... I do not trust an MD as far as I can throw them!
I had a doctor who didn't know that nursing mothers don't always get their periods back right away after pregnancy. My son didn't wean until 15 months or so, so I didn't have my period for almost a year. The 6 months of abdomonal pains (worse than childbirth) I had were from my gall bladder (later removed after being correctly diagnoised). It's very common for heavy women who have just giving birth to have gall bladder trouble. Stupid doctor!
That should be one of the basics in medical school. But, they medical staff really do not know shit about nutrition. I had a bone density test done. On the questionnaire they only asked about cows milk and cheese. No other forms of calcium. If I wanted to I would have had taught her basic nutrition and how a cow gets the calcium and how many more foods have calcium and many of them have way more than cows milk. She thought that one could only do dairy or take a supplement. I do take a supplement but I also eat calcium rich foods as well ask goats milk, soy milk and rice milk.
