well, i'm sure that if you have indigestion over several weeks, you have someone jam a tube up your asshole...right? i didn't think so. the reason they try to not slice somebody open if they sneeze is they are trying to preserve life. meds can prevent the more radical and life-threatening surgery. meds are lifesavers.

It is sad that the insurance companies now dictate how doctors practice their art. Very sad, with people getting sicker and sicker.

I didn't know that. I always thought you were an engineer who traveled a lot. That surprises me.

I think it's more worrisome to have the totally inept government in that decision making role. At least business has some incentive, but the government, slow as a snails pace, doesn't give a shit about anybody or anything.

Imagine calling a huge bureaucracy and getting a decision out of them the same day. Government isn't the answer to anything, they are part of the problem.

My Dr said that everything was nice and normal on my test but of course I had to wait 4 days for the result in which time I had my self convinced they were tumors, aneurysms, gallstones, kidney stones or just chocolate cake!
