Okay Gang - got to jump in on this one guys... I had my blood tested last year; it had been several years so I figured it was time. I had something happen that I have never had happen and although I can't prove it - yet; I am sure I am right.
First - the doc sent me to a hospital to have the blood drawn - claimed that he couldn't write the script for a laboratory in the next town over.. okey dokey although I have premium health insurance... Next thing I know, I get a call asking me to come in right away...something about my test results...well it seems that my cholestrol is really really high (never been before BTW). Doc wants me to start in on prescription meds - I refuse of course. I start back on a strict regimen of lecithin and red yeast rice... I re-test two different ways: 1) at a "red cross" type of free blood testing at a seminar; 2) I go back to my old doctor and have it tested (by the same company BTW - since the insurance is all the same)... VOILA - my cholestrol is not high. Now - I may have a case for fraud here. You see this doctor (the first doctor) had told me at one time that he was really good friends with a pharmaceutical supply / salesman. BEFORE all of this - about 6 months before this bloodwork; He also prescribed for me a diabetic medication and did not tell me why; when I tried to get it filled, the pharmacist, who knew me rather well ??? questioned it. He said did Dr. So and So run blood work - I said no... and you could tell that he knew something I didn't hmmmmmmm I smell a jail cell for somebody. I found out last week, this same doctor is on a 3 year VERY strict probation in Georgia for a very serious offense. Conclusion - I believe - like I said - can't prove - yet; that the doctor and the hospital are in collusion and that my blood was never tested as none of the results were normal.. OH also - they said I had been in menopause for 5 years - that turned out to be a lie, too. My old doctor was like?? say what? oh no... I've known you for years and that's when the new testing started. Oh, and I ain't done yet. Then the hospital tried to throw me into collection within 3 weeks of the test - BEFORE I received a bill; I received a collection notice !!!! Beware of the thieves. So moral of the story; you can't believe everything you hear; you can't even believe what you read AND FOR sure can't trust doctors... or hospitals. More of the story; now a local woman died in April under this same doctor's care in the ER at the same hospital.. what do you think - anybody know a good attorney, officer of the court? Jeanine (4 cents - gas tax went up today in Georgia - more inflation) (2 cents old money + 2 cents new money)
