Where I am is totally okay. And I hear ya about being able to know medical things after a while. I got just a little of it going on when I was working in a hospital. "You better come check this person right away... not looking good."<BR/><BR/>Sue, its good to see you again. Oprah was the one that brought up testing her thyroid. The doctor she was talking to didn't realize one hadn't been done.

Why didn't she ask ...Oprah is an intelligent woman. Why didn't she ask for a Thyroid test to be done? Or can you not do that in USA? I know your doctors are restricted to the type of tests/treatments they can do by the insurance mobs, which I think sucks.Sue Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864986500627496240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14004564.post-80203016984268910362009-01-07T18:01:00.000-08:002009-01-07T18:01:00.000-08:00when I did medical transcribing for 30 plus years,...when I did medical transcribing for 30 plus years, many times, I'm yelling at an invisible doctor that is not clear on what is going on with the patient. I am saying ...such and such such...test for this...it sounds like this..and sure enough...I would get his follow up report after lab tests, etc....to transcribe and it would be what I thought. I should have been a doc.<BR/><BR/>just saw the news about all the flooding up there, how are you holding up around where you live.sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14004564.post-70586978939725712202009-01-07T08:44:00.000-08:002009-01-07T08:44:00.000-08:00I totally agree...

They couldn't diagnois her, but she researched and kept telling them she thought it was a parasite...they would never admit it, but finally after months of being sick, they gave her a antibiotic that was designed for parasites, and thats when she started to recover.... How sad that we have to diagnois our own illness...<BR/><BR/>BTW - The yellow wavy dishes...<BR/>The dinner plate, small plate and bowl -- Ross $2.99 each. The other little plate, thrift store, $.75 Napkins ~~ thrift store, 4 for $1.00. Ross only had two of the wavy ones, but hey it's just Don and me and I love dishes. And that's the story of the yellow dishes.<BR/><BR/>LOL:WandaWandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14004564.post-58500739015137878102009-01-07T06:33:00.000-08:002009-01-07T06:33:00.000-08:00I didn't get to see the show, but last night I cau...I didn't get to see the show, but last night I caught Larry King doing a show about her weight gain. I didn't catch the entire show and don't know the whole story, but parts of this show bugged me, because of my weight issues right now. I am reluctant to say much more about it until I do know more of the story, though. <BR/>I have found over the years that it is better to do a little homework of your own if you are being treated by a Dr. Everyone makes mistakes, doctors included. Oprah is another story though. You would think she would have the BEST out there, and they would be like you said, EMBARRASSED to say the least, to have not diagnosed and treated her properly. I am interested to find out more about her story.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373560689980768576noreply@blogger.com
