First it's me and my health problems... Then it's finding out abt my dad's numerous rendevous ... and this morning... Iqbal told us he suspects that he's got a health prob and the docs want to refer him to Gleneagles Hospital. Think surgery needs to be done.. Goodness gracious.. MOm is all panicking and so is he. Iqbal thinks he is going to die.
What is wrong with these guys.. they get a tiny alarm and they think their time is up.. What abt me doesn't anyone see what i've been going through.. well i did think on several occasions my time was nearing... but when the thought came i quickly told myself nope.. not going to get succumbed into this and try to get myself better...that's when i start surfing the net to find solutions.. then mom starts to get annoyed cos i always have my head buried in the screen instead of talking to her...
I can safely say.. no doctor in the world can cheat me... i am so well informed that it scares them... and I LOVE IT!
A reader wrote to us abt his experience of a wrong diagnosis and he ended up spending 15k on surgery and medication. And on top of that it led to an even worse infection. Reading his story i really felt extremely sorry for him.. When he went for a second and third opinion he was told his prob could have been fixed with a particular drug and all were horrified why was he ever told to go for surgery in the first place and prescribed the wrong drugs.. the specialist sounded like a BIG QUACK and he is one of our advertisers... so now we are not suppose to get him to advertise anymore...
So you see.. always do your reading up first... never take what the doctor tells u.. i think they never know what they are talking about ... listen to your body.. i think we are our best doctor...
I got to explain that to Iqbal now.. Sigh...
