Here's the problem. Medical care is not what it used to be. Doctors are so into specialization these days, that they're so myopic they only seem to see one tiny section of your body. They no longer look at you as a whole. I have been through the medical machine the last 5 years starting off with Congestive Heart Failure and ending up with Cardiomyopathy. I now have a significant part of my heart that is mechanical...so much so that I tick like a timex watch.
When it's quiet and you sit next to me, you can hear it. My point is that I went to see a doctor in the beginning for something, don't even remember now..think it was throat problem or something, I was examined and sent home with a good bill of health. When in all reality I was suffering the onset of CHF.
My ankles were so swolen and I was litterally drowning in my own juices you might say. A few days later, in the hospital nearly dead. Oh I remember..I was taking a thorough medical exam for my bi-yearly physical since I was licensed to carry extremely hazadous chemicals over the highway.
At one time this last couple of years I had as many as 8 doctors tending to me for various conditions, all at the same time. That's crazy, but that is the way things are these days. I dare you to find me an average MD that knows squat about nutrition.
Anyway...I'll get off my soapbox now.
Just glad to be alive.
