    Not comforting to see your doctor Google your Treatment Plan

    OK, it's probably some special search engine but when you go to your doc it is a little disquieting watching him look up everything about your diagnosis before prescribing meds or recommending treatments. Sign of the times i guess.
    In his defense I have something called a Christmas Tree Rash which nobody really understands. therefore as with most things medicine does not understand it is blamed on some unidentified, un remembered virus. It did get me a Lyme's test though which was probably long overdue.
    He came up with an anti-itch prescription and the advise to go shirtless outside as light helps. OK, doc but I'm a somewhat overweight guy with a bright red rash all over my torso. I don't want to scare the neighbors! LOL

    You see iot more and more though as they research treatments right if front of you. I know it actually makes sense and I appreciate the transparency but it just feels weird!

    I have been battling with doctors for years. If there is an anti itch treatment I would like to know about it. I have been suffering from debilitating itch for 15 years. No rash though. No one knows why.

    1% Hyderm works for me. Prescription only, but .5% is available over the counter in Quebec

    If We Don't Pay Students, We Get What We Pay For

    A doctor is just a Mama's Boy who doesn't earn a living until he is 26 years old. That's why he winds up with an immature mind. His education consists of cramming for tests and soon forgetting that temporary knowledge. One high-school class had an average score of 95 on its finals. They took the same test after they came back from summer vacation and averaged 72.
    Americans need to wake up to the fact that someone getting a degree just because he can go eight years without a job is many degrees of separation from common sense. Do we feel sorry for the graduate and believe he should be rewarded for that sacrifice? Or are we jealous of him for being rewarded and believe he should be punished first if he wants to be rewarded later? Sacrifice has no merit; it is merely brown-nosing by those with no pride because they have no natural talent to be proud of.
    On the outside, trickling down on the Insiders

    We won't live free until the Democrats, and their voters, live in fear.

    You wouldn't have graduated from college without an allowance from Daddy. So why expect everyone else to sacrifice four years of their lives living in miserable poverty?

    Nobody has a right to go to college. Pay for it yourself. Why should I pay for you?
