Elysian Wart,I understand what you are saying. There are lots of options for healing. I was raised on Natural Medicines and have a pretty good knowledge of how to use the old remedies. Every Society in the world has their own way of treating disease and injury. American Medicine isn’t the end all be all, but it has saved my life, so I also see the worth of a Science based treatment regimen. My Spouse was a Dr. of Chinese Medicine til his death. I am a (pretty much retired) medical professional too, but I’m using a Boric Acid compress to ward off a stye now! (Damned dusty roads!)
You might be surprised at how open minded Doc’s are. They know there are a LOT of us who would rather take care of our own health with natural remedies, but when that doesn’t work, it sure is good to have a Doc.
Also, Doc’s aren’t making as much as people think any more. HMO’s and Insurance Companies have taken over medicine. It is a business. Medicine has become homogenized. Not many opportunities for kickbacks. I wouldn’t want to be a Dr. now. Paying for school and Mal Practice keeps most humble these days. There may be a few bad apples, but most Docs are good people. Sorry. Long winded.....
