I have the smae problem with Body piercing - being something that
Doctors don't like I have had clients tell me that doctors have thought
them so stupid as to say...
Client had flu type symptoms - Docotr said, "Remove your tongue
piercing, I am not going to give you any antibiotics until you remove the
piercing because I think that is making you sick." She had been
wearing the piercing for 5 yrs and did not remove it - went home, went to
bed and Hey presto - SHE GOT BETTER WITHOUT REMOVING HER TONGUE BAR!
(amazing!)
A client who went to the doctor over another reason the day after
having her eyebrow pierced. Dr said - "That piercing looks swollen -
it must be badly infected - I had better take it out" "But I only
got it yesturday?!"Says the patient. "Well, I don't like the look of
it, it is going to keep swelling and cause you to go blind." So the
Doctor proceded to take it out causing even MORE bruising to the slightly
swelled/bruised piercing. Then went on to flush the piercing site
with saline slipping and stabbing her eyebrow with the needle, at great
pain to the client.
Bottom line being - There was no infection but it swelled up for a
week after the doctor had finished with it and gave the client a black
eye. How could he/she mistake a bruise for infection? Is this
just a power trip they are on?
To me it just shows how these people (Doctors)abuse their position
and view the general public as stupid enough to believe whatever they say
regardless of if it is founded or not. The same goes for childbirth
and anything else that they want to have control of.
That's my whinge for the evening.
Rhonda.

Great letter Denise,
It constantly amazes me, well actually it doesn't!, that Drs feel
they are the best and ONLY deliverers of care to pregnant women. What I
can't understand is how they constantly get away with their unfounded
allegations against midwives and their propensity to outdated practice
which has been proven unbeneficial, and sometimes downright dangerous, by
the many studies that have been published . 'Go figure!!'
