don't know what to do or where to go

On a more general note, it is my feeling that the quality of the medical care we receive has gone down. I am a patient of the doctors at Loma Linda which is supposed to have a good reputation. In the 10 plus years I have been with them, not once have I had a complete physical examination. They only look at the numbers of your blood panel tests. I did remark on this to my primary care doctor, and he acknowledged that it was true, but then shrugged. I know I am fortunate that I don't have major things wrong with me. But what if I did? I have no one to look out or after me. I am my own advocate. I think if I had the money, I would go to either Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic for a complete evaluation. In the meantime, it is day to day and doing the best I can.

Hi Marilyn,
You are right! I hadn't noticed but my husband and I haven't had a complete physical either in years! They do just look at tests. In fact, I was the one who did the research about my husband's recent hoarseness and which medications have that as a side effect that he is taking. The doctors agreed with me and discontinued those medications and his hoarseness went away. How come I didn't get the $700 that the insurance paid to the doctor?
I also did the research on what we should eat to be healthy and the doctors all agreed on that too. Again they got paid. I didn't.
However, we are healthy and doing good. So we can just thank God for that and keep praying every day.
