You are SO right about Pharmacists. I'll never forget when I first moved to Georgia, a pharmacist steered me away from a statin that was known to have serious side affects. I took his advice, and so glad I did. Even so, I suffered an Acute Kidney Incident from repeated MRI's and now have to keep an eye on my CKD to avoid dialysis. Since then, not one doctor ever told me to avoid MRI's. So, I became my own "doctor." When a doctor in the emergency room wanted to test to see if I had a blood clot, I forced him to do an alternate test that did not require contrast dye. Boy, was he mad at me. Too bad. 🙂 Self-advocacy should be a required course for all doctors. Today, most consider you interfering with their treatment. Sorry, doctors are necessary, but they are not gods or God.
