id say 6 weeks is a little excessive i believe that with the treatment id gave and about 1- 2 weeks off he can slowly get back to gaming and that he should never pass 30hr a week when hes fully recovered i believe that the doc also must of given him some sort of "medication" that will kill off his good bacteria resulting in other diseases for him in the future and the medication can also damage his liver and kidneys with the advise i gave there are no side effects "his doctor has to be able to stand behind his advice and he obviously thought, for now, that there was no safe level of gamin" tell that the the millions that die every year form harmful medication prescribed by docs every year or the millions who die from surgery malpractice doctors obviously thought that drugs like vioxx, bextra, tysabri, and many many others where safe for curing diseases but most of there patients that took them ended up dieing from them they better think better next time |
Moron is a measure of intelligence, or lack thereof, not of a person's education.
I'm not going to enter a long debate about this because it is a hugely complex issue but i would say that the advantage that western medicine has over eastern is (generally) regulation of standards and accountability. I'd be curious to know what country you actually live in because it has obviously coloured your impression of doctors. To suggest that all doctors are glorified prescription drug pushers is not only to question their knowledge but to also suggest that they are somehow systematically amoral, an assertion I find rather ridiculous.
Millions die under the care of doctors around the world every year because hundreds of millions or billions of people in the world, including the very sickest, put their faith in doctors to help them, which they can't always do. We know about Vioxx, Celebrex etc. because the medical industry is accountable for their actions but how many people die every year due to natural therapies and eastern medicine? If China actually kept statistics on this kind of thing it might change the equation considerably on how safe people assume theses therapies to be. The answer is however that we just don't know.
To suggest that natural therapies are somehow immune from side effects is entirely naive, as any substance that can have a pharmacological effect within the body can also have a harmful effect on at least some people. Furthermore, harm isn't just measured in terms of adverse effects but also in failure to receive appropriate, or best available therapies.
You are also making assumptions about what the doctor 'must have given him' which is based on nothing other than your feeling and to be honest if his doctor did actually prescribe an antibiotic I would agree that he's a moron. While some antibiotics can in some circumstances and in some people cause serious liver and kidney damage, to suggest this is the normal matter of course is ridiculous and is you simply ignoring the facts to make a point.
What I find most interesting however is that his doctor has prescribed, as far as we know, nothing more than abstinance whereas you have 'prescribed' St John's Oil, a substance that although generally well tolerated has known side effects. Yet you are the one suggesting that all western doctors know nothing other than prescription.
Most good exponents of natural or eastern medicines still have an excellent knowledge of anatomy and physiology as it is as vital to their practice as it is to any western doctor. Furthermore if they are to be responsible for their patient's health they need to have a good understanding of any therapies that a western doctor might have given their patient and how they could potentially interact. You have thusfar demonstrated no such knowledge and therefore I will return to my original point.
Blink182, listen to your doctor. (unless he actually did prescribe you antibiotics and then he is a moron)
