Hi @oregongirl, Good for you for re-assessing with your primary doctor the medications you are on. It's good to review every few years as we age and our needs change. I heartily disagree with the statement "all doctors are useless" however. Similarly it is incorrect to say doctors hold all the answers. But together patients can work together with their doctors to be a good care team. And patients also have the right to get a second or even third opinion.

I'll be interested in hearing what you learn tomorrow and if you discover medications you no longer need to take. Good luck.

I spent ,one and a half yrd at the University hosp. Everytimr i saw a dr they not only made another appt for with them but also referring me to another Dr. Give me a break....never a clear diagnosis but pills pills pills. Keeping that money coming in....the best care i ever got was the ER. Until they saw all the drugs prescribed by drs. Thn because of that they put me back by druggies and i nearly died Do not trust one dr
Go someehere else and get second opinion.
