"...I finally gave her Charles Manson's #" [SS#] Superb. An acquaintance of mine modifies bar codes on forms. He converts them into the UPC for a can of peas.
What is CM's SS#? James-Osbourne: Holmes -----Original Message----- From: TJ Garland [mailto:goldenok...@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 7:45 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>greedy Dr's List-- I went a ENT for an ear problem last week. I was given a 3 pm appt., and found a FULL office. I guess dr's overbook like Delta. There was a short 3/4 page med history to fill out while waiting. There's nothing like reading 4 yr. old LADIES HOME JOURNALs. I finally went into the exam room at 4:15. Next a nurse took more personal info and was indignant when I would not give my SSN. I finally gave her Charles Manson's #. A nurse took my bp. The young doctor strolled in- I told him my problem and told him I had been reading a lot about the problem, and had a BS in Chem and could talk shop --but I told of no alt meds I had tried. I wanted a diagnosis and prognosis from him. I also wanted a hearing test from a licensed audiologist. I told him I had a history of ear problems as a child and my ear canal was very itchy. He looked in my ear with a fancy "microscope" as he called it. It was attached to a flexible arm. He said hmmm- looks like there is a "crust" on your eardrum. He then applied a little suction on them . I became dizzy. He then wrote me a prescription for 2% hydrocortizone in 2% acetic acid drops. He would not answer any questions on sensorineural loss, ear infections, antiobiotics, allergies, Meniere's, etc. He treated me like a 10 yr old child. I He would not do an audiogram. He wanted to see me next week after taking the itch cream for a week ?!!!!!! I never told him I used garlic/ mullein for the canal problem. He marked my chart $150 (level 3 charge). I had a fit!!( nicely) I could only get him down to $120 - and still felt the prescription should have been for vaseline. His 3 man office was seeing 50 people an hour that day. I received absolutely nothing for the money. I only went to him because he was supposed to be the "best"- and and I couldn't see my own ear drum with my otoscope. He reinforced my opinion of the allopaths. Any suggestions or comments?? Thanks for allowing the vent. goldenokie9 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
