So true. I was so surprised when my last physiotherapist watched me move, asked questions, reviewed records and seemed to hone in on what I needed. It wasn’t just one thing. She worked in several ways to get things better. Plus, I did what she asked of me and did my homework exercises, plus regular exercise to maximize the benefits. I got real relief. She is a very experienced physiotherapist and I think that matters.

Yes and that is what doctors won't do. Everything is now compartmentalized. And not to give us better treatment. Those are all just business decisions.

My sister-in-law just got diagnosed with cancer.

She had stomach problems for 2 years.

If the doctors had truly been scrupulous, instead of going through case after case quickly, they would have caught that cancer after 2 months, not two years.

This is what "compartmentalization" does. This is what current medical procedures do. They exclude the basic necessary common sense, of scrupulous attention to detail.

If we are smart and do research, sometimes we can find our way through, to get the help we need. I happen to know of a case in New York City where a very ill patient had to go through endless red tape to get medication necessary to keep himself alive. He fought with the bureaucracy over and over and over for years. Finally, he could not take it anymore, stopped fighting them and no longer had access to his medication.

He was dead in a few months.

This is what modern medical care has become. And all, by being a slave to money interests, instead of just treating medical conditions with medical protocols not set up by accountants.

Endless doctors have left the field and endless more are leaving the field because of this. All the compassionate people who should be giving medical care are leaving the field. And then what will be left? What will be left are the folks without much of a moral center at all, willing to obey any "rules" thrown at them.

You know, like Nuremberg.
