This afternoon I got a call from my doc's office about medicare telling them I needed an annual checkup. I proceeded to lose my shit on the poor woman. I have to go to the doc 2x a year for med refills and if I'm ill - which is seldom. Now, my Doc is cool. He refused to give the vaxx and he also refused to take it which lost him his hospital privileges.
Medicare acts like they're doing us a favor. BULLSHIT We paid taxes all our lives for this. They are not entitlements and I will not kiss bureaucratic ass.
Seems like BIG Pharma is acting like Big Brother. They get the medical establishment to lower numbers on what is considered acceptable for BP, cholesterol, etc.
Tomorrow, I am contacting my Congress critters and asking them to look into the gov't getting involved in my health. You all are likely mostly young and not facing this yet. Believe me, time flies and you'll be in my position in a flash. You might want to consider contacting your critters so that you don't have to deal with this in the future.
Yup. Same. Just went in for my usual check in and was told I was way behind on mammogram, colonoscopy and endoscopy and he was going to go ahead and schedule. I said cool. Didn’t lose my shit…but damned if I’m showing up for any of it.
I will never have a colonoscopy or do a colonoscopy guard where they can collect my DNA, I have not had a mammogram in probably 4 years and will never get another one. I only allow dental X-rays if they see something suspicious. The medical community has destroyed any credibility as far as I am concerned. God will decide when it is my time to leave this world, not medical intervention. I won’t get a shingles, flu, or pneumonia vaccine. I will not get a yearly physical unless needed for my one prescription. Fortunately a friend, who is a doctor, has written my one prescription for the last 1 1/2 years. He knows my medical knowledge and trusts me to know when I need to see a doctor. My dog is 12 1/2 and she will never get another vaccine. She is a house dog, goes in our yard on leash and no longer goes to board due to her age (I would feel horrible if something happened while we boarded her at her age.). Five other dogs have died of cancer and I always faithfully vaccinated them. No more. I get her thyroid medicine from AllDayChemist, no prescription needed. During Covid, our vet wouldn’t allow us in the office with our dog. So I am done with him. Besides he would not see us without her being vaxed.
Been 20 plus years for me. Guess he thinks by scheduling I’ll go..lol!
Good for you friend. You are probably healthy because of 20 years of avoidance!
Pisses me off that the gov't is basically extorting us for Big Pharma. They won't allow us to get meds if we don't bend over.
