I’ve become so frustrated with my medical care. Suffering long term side effects after head and neck surgeries and radiation. Experiencing continued shoulder shrugs on how to treat or manage this
except for PT which I am doing. What I am finding through internet research that there are other treatments to at least safely try. More shoulder shrugs when I bring the topics up. Medical centers need to think about a patient long term and what happens to them down the road.. I’m more then a dollar sign for initial surgery and radiation treatment. Angry

@nnurse I agree 100% with your comment about doctors. I find it is ALL doctors now. If it is not within their realm they won't even look at the labs. It's like they're afraid to step on the toes of another doctor, forget about the patient. I believe they honestly don't know what to do if the textbook outcome is not what they expected. Having an illness or being sick in todays world is literally putting your life on the line. What happened to the good ole doctors who knew EVERYTHING!!?

I feel the same way. They will not deviate from their purview with regards to other treatments.
