"...medicine has been around for thousands of years with a
proven and consistent success rate."
Here is the other-side to".,...a proven and consistent success rate."
Advise to Patients:
I am an outpatient at an Albuquerque Hospital. This story is
about of my
medical nightmare and a near death experience caused by drugs my
doctor and psychologist prescribe. Drugs that made me so deathly ill
that it had me had me thinking that suicide was the only way to end
my suffering.
The first thing to remember is the doctor is not always right and
his
medical advise is not sacrosanct i.e. to important to interfere with.
Patient and doctor relations does not include being subservience i,e,
to obey without questioning. The doctors make mistakes - just like we
do. If you have any doubt about your treatment or drugs tell your
doctor about your concern.
One of the most important things is that the patients must tell
their
doctors exactly how ill they feel. The patient should listen
carefully and then ask questions and should always take notes and have
a list of questions for their doctor. Read the information that comes
with their medications. Ask questions. Then get the electronic record
of their visit so they can double check on what was discussed.
Following these steps will help the patients get better health care.
Participate in your healthcare because your doctor may kill you.
At one time the drug metoprololo had made me so terribly sick
that I was going to commit suicide. When I told my doctor about my
intentions she-instead of looking towards the metoprololo as the cause
of my problems-sent me to a psychologist to be treated for depression
and anxiety. The psychologist prescribe trazadone for my
depression and suicidal thoughts. The drug she prescribe only
succeeded in making me sicker and more suicidal.
Here is the dangerous and absurd situation that I was in:
Metoprololo a drug my doctor prescribed, after my heart By-
pass, made me deathly ill and suicidal and when I told her she made
me an appointment with psychologist.
The psychologist, after listening to my concerns, prescribe
tarazadone for depression, sickness and suicidal thoughts. The
trazadone succeeded in making me sicker more suicidal and sick! I now
had two problems that were threating my life.
Because of the doctors and psychologist prescribe drugs I had
nausea,
diarrhea, palpitations, irregular heart beats, lose of appetite,
troubled sleep and lose interest in reading and music. I was so sick
from the drugs that I sharpened a kitchen knife and made a practice
run by cutting my wrist very lightly, just enough to make a thin red
line.
Then one day I was in my psychologist consulting room, feeling
depressed and very sick, she said, “I can see that your intoxicated on
your medications." I wasn’t intoxicated I was very sick. At the
time, I was so sick, that couldn't think well enough to reply, but
when I returned home I thought over her remark and decided that
tarazadone, the drug she had prescribe , and was over dosing me with,
was the cause of my near suicide and I gradually stop taking the drug-
without the consent of the psychologist -and in a couple of weeks I
felt much better.
Then I went to my doctor and insisted that she change my drug
metoprololo-which I suspected was also making me ill- to antenolol.
When she changed it she said “Remember this is an experiment” (I
suspected that the metoprololo was an experiment too) When I stop
taking those two drugs most of my drug induced sicknesses disappeared
and the thoughts of suicide went away. I had save my life from the
hands of incompetent doctors. The people that were suppose to be
taking good care of me.
After that near death experience I realized the importance of
participating
in my health care. If i hadn’t taken control of my medial treatment I
might have committed suicide because of the drugs, inadvertently,
administered by a doctor and psychologist,who might have been
incompetent. It was a
close call Because of my close call with death I know the doctors
decisions are not infallible and they have to to watched closely
because they make mistakes like we do but their mistakes sometimes
prove fatal. And remember that the doctor is the employee of the
patient. The patient tax pay or insurance payer pay their salaries and
pay for the hospital and all the medical
equipment.
