Health Problems

I was saying that we wish doctors and the medical field knew more about the "why" of things, not criticizing you for using the available resources. Of course I don't know laws by heart (generally), I go look shit up. Same as you. What I'm saying is that doctors here aren't going to look shit up any differently than doctors there, and that we wish there was more to it than "hey try this drug and see if it works for you." That isn't a criticism of doctors, it's a criticism of the current state of the medical field, and we wish it was more like star trek.

Mmm, I get you, just a jab, Cad , MD, GP
Dealing with chronic pain patients when there's a condition exacerbating the existing condition is difficult at best. Last one I had came with pain after a misstep after dismouting her bike, no trauma. Previously had multiple surgeries for slipped discs, ovarian cancer and also a sacral pain modulator, no bowel function and possible ileus. Screaming in pain from LLQ. Morphine ad libitum. Multiple CT and MRI. Two days later remission. No obvious reason found. Back to regular drug and management regime, and referal to pain clinic optimization. No previous drug seeking behaviour. Most chronics don't really want highs, rather they want tolerable and stable. I really wish I had that Star Trek Medical Tricorder a lot of days.

But heeeey, now I know what I want for Christmas <3

Doctor is prescribing glp-1 without me coming in, so that's sweet. Gonna get started as soon as it shows up. Just waiting for his direction on my current meds.
