I'm not sure what part of me thinks its a good idea to maintain faith in the medical system but "that part" of me has taken quite a battering of late. Why do I walk into a doctor's consulting room with a glimmer of hope that they may uphold their position of empathy and respect for humankind and leave with an imaginary suit of armour refracting their insensitive, narrow minded and down right derogatory advice? In one week I've managed to lose the plot with 2 separate doctors who have now taken it upon themselves to document on my permanent record that I may be mentally unstable - purely because I disagree with them!!!!!! At what point did the whole medical world decide that supressing ones immune systems was really good for the healing process? Needless to say, those prescriptions for anti-biotics, cortico-steroids and sleeping pills went straight in the bin and Ayla and I spent the afternoon eating lentil soup and massaging each other with wheatgerm and lavender oil.
