The majority of doctors, and other health care professionals don't

really care about health (although I am sure they think they do) let

alone the consequences behind their methods of health care.

 

I am glad you are standing up to them Lesley! The health care

profession is a tough 'authority' to make a stand against. They are

not used to being questioned, or even entertaining the thought that

they could be wrong about something.

 

We probably don't really need the tests anyway. Whatever happend to

letting nature take its own course? We seemed to manage years ago

before we had all this medical interference.

 

Do you never get tired of standing up to everyone! I do at times, and

wish that I didn't have to justify everything! It's a pain! But it

must be done!

 

love and peace

I also find it pretty stressful actually, but they are meant to

respect different cultures and beliefs systems, which is something I

remind them if they give me a hard time.
