You're a moron if you think you are capable of deciding what medicine you need without having medical school. Sorry, man, but we got this great thing called division of labor where the MD learns about the medicine and you can focus on something else. Then when you need to apply medical knowledge to your life, you ask the MD. Your nonsensical post makes me think you should think really hard about taking everything your doctor says.

If you think your doctor is not treating you properly seek a second opinion. But you are not qualified to make the judgements about your medication.




see my anti-biotics comment. They don't do a damn thing for the common cold. I don't know what I need all the time. But I'm starting to get pretty good at learning what I don't need. But they still like giving me that stuff.

A second opinion? can't afford the first. I've gotten pretty good at knowing what's gone wrong with my own body over the years.

I'm no pharmacist for sure, or a doctor. But every time (that I recall) going to a doctor I get a prescription. Why is it I get a prescription for the common cold? or the flu. No prescription can cure those (at least that I'm aware of). Better to tough it out.

why is it exactly that you trust MD's so much? I don't trust them any more than I trust mechanics, and my body is more important than my car, and more complex.
