Never thought I’d be thankful this whole shit show happened but I’m glad it did. Began my Ivermectin treatment on Friday. I have a black toilet in my house and 2 days later I could clearly make out little parasites in the toilet. Makes me think, we worm our pets and livestock but not ourselves. How many people are running around with parasitic infections and don’t know.

I’ve had some terrible experiences with doctors and it has really made me skeptical of anything they say. I find it’s best to be as knowledgeable as I can be, the doctors hate it but it is my only defense.
A well informed patient is a doctors worst nightmare!! Lol. I always tell my patients to get second and third opinions and to always research everything rigorously. If something doesn’t sound or seem right, question it, research it, and ask as many questions as you want to. I see my patients put their doctor in the “God” category too much and that’s never a good thing.
Me too. One convinced me that I had a tumor in my uterus that would kill me if I didn't undergo a hysterectomy as quickly as possible. The pathology report showed the "tumors" were nothing but fibroids which, while painful and no fun to live with, would never have killed me. I found out too late to sue. That's just the worst thing that's been done to me, but there are several other examples. My daughter was once given the wrong medication for an ear infection, which made it worse - to this day, I've never seen her in so much pain, and that REALLY pissed me off because you don't mess with my kids. I raised all kinds of hell, to the point the doctor's office refunded the copay I paid them for the visit and paid me back for the wrong prescription. It wasn't enough but at least it was something.
They are great if you have a catastrophic event but only treat symptoms of everyday problems. I believe medical malpractice is in the top 5 causes of death in the United States.
Oh it absolutely is - hundreds of thousands of people die every year from pharmaceutical drugs taken at the direction of doctors, not misused or abused, where is the outrage over that? More people die from that than have from covid, yet they're not locking down the idiot doctors that prescribe this poison. My mom was on 17 (not exaggerating) different prescription medications in the years leading up to her death. None of them improved her quality of life, none of them did anything for her. If only I knew then what I know now...
Medical mistakes are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US I believe.
