That's exactly the same argument my "doctor", the most prestigious in this
town, said when I was disabled by extreme weakness and low blood pressure.
It's the "normal or nuts" argument so many "doctors" use. Their narrowed
minds can only think in terms of black and white, dead or alive, extremely
hypo- or hyper-adrenal or normal, extremly hypo- or hyper-thyroid or normal,
metastatic breast cancer of normal.
I don't get it. Are they so burnt out, cognitively deprived, stupid, or and
lacking in imagination, that there is no in between? Why on earth are
taxpayers' dollars being used to educate this profession when the result is
so dismal?
With this type of medical supervision being the norm these days, I try not
to rely on 95% of the available doctors.
