5. I tend to avoid doctors and hospitals for this exact reason...I must admit almost every medical procedure

has had some sort of complications. I'm very healthy and it was puzzling. 2 skin Cyst removed with post op infections. Broken fibula? cast obscenely tight. Cornea surgery? Doctor made an "unplanned" cut..
And then lied about it on the medical chart.. Skin cancer DX..? Derm said it was nothing. Second opinion?
yup, skin cancer. First biopsy positive with Mohs surgery. Two more operations to clear the field..
Had some funky chest feelings. Has a 24 hour Holter monitor of my heart.. And they forgot to charge the battery and that was a redo.. uff
Vaccination as a child? Doctor broke the needle in my ass when I jumped. As I remember he really sucked using his hands on anything. Probably why he went into family medicine.
And the list goes on. The only procedure I can remember recently with no complications was stitches to my ankle.No problems healed well.. Not done by a MD it was done by a PA...Good show!
Having worked in the medical field for over 40 years I just keep healthy and stay away from the
Medical Industrial Complex...
