Life on the Farm...

I use this place to up my pain tolerance.So far it's not working.

Anyway so many thoughts,so little internet toilet paper to write them on.

While I share your opinion that there's a lot of quackery in chiropractic and homeopathic ( homeo) medicine I am equally perturbed by people who take MDs word as gospel.
Doctors are merely people who read a bunch of books that don't involve hobbits.That doesn't make you right that only makes you a well read person with bad eyesight.

Wasn't it not too long ago that doctors were regularly bleeding people to rid them of their bad humours?

Like both chiro and homeo, mainstream medicine is based on observation and practiced by guys named Malcolm who in High School people mostly avoided because he smelled funny. This is why for any serious problems I send money to TV evangelists because if you can't trust men of God who can you trust?

I'm bound to repeat myself because hardly anyone listens to me.

Isn't that more of an excuse than a reason?

It was a conclusion, yours was a question, and this is the answer. That was a statement, and what you're experiencing now is a headache.

That makes a problem, and I am offering a suggestion that could be a solution to it. Take a large dictionary, open it up to any page between 500 and 600, and then beat yourself over the head with the hard cover portion.

No, no. Don't break it up. They've both deserved punched noses for a variety of reasons. Just let them sock each other.

I agree to the point on a GP (General Practice) doctor, they are now in my opinion less than a dentist when it comes to knowledge(that is caused by lack of motivation). But when you get into more of the specialist that can and do save your life if you are really sick, that to me is when your opinion fails to make sense.
And they have set it up that if you want to see a specialist today, you must visit the GP to set up appointments. In other words even know the GP really runs blood tests and if you have a cold(eg only minor shit is all) , they can help you, if it goes beyond that, the email or fax goes to the specialist and you are on to the next doctor that is more specific for your problem(as you already know and just explaining it to the other people).
One of the bigger problems here is our health-care system, being great to have it paid for(but really is it??), it doesn't produce the best surgeons/specialists in the world. Not saying they are not very good but because our health-care does restrict there pocket books it also does something to there mind set...
And Yes Idol I am saying that a lot of the specialist in the US and other places that work in private hospitals and that make large amounts of money without restrictions seem to keep up with the times/technology better than Canada does.

But I can tell you when I was younger and something needed to be done, you went to your GP which had way more knowledge and took care of you. If something needed to be operated on, then and only then you went to see a specialist and that was it..

Here is a little story....
My ears were bugging me a while back, so I went to the GP and all she did was tell me to go to the drug store and pick up some ear drops and gave me a pill script for infection. So I did that for about 4-5 days, and after I showered I was cleaning my ears and all kinds of nasty shit was coming out. So I went back to the GP and told here what was going on, she then faxed and appointment to the Ears Nose and Throat specialist. I get a call from the specialist reception the next appointment is in 3 weeks.
I said fuck that shit!!!, and I called back and said I can't really hear my ear is blocks and all kinds of black shit is coming out!!. She put me on hold and when she came back she said to come in the next morning(what the fuck is that!!). So I drive to the doctors and was waiting in his office about 2hrs, but I didn't say anything because they squeezed me in and I wanted to get the problem corrected. Anyways I get in there and firs he send me to do a hearing test(remember my ear is fucked!!), so I asked him I can't really hear out of my one ear what is that going to solve?? He just replied that is what the procedure is (to grab extra money right!!). So I did the test and low and behold my ear was fucked, so I went back in and without a lie put some shit on a cotton ball(the shit stunk!!), and said leave it in until tomorrow and then he did it to my other ear that I thought was fine and he said there was a problem as well.
So I went back the next day and really only waited for 10-15min after my appointment which I thought was good, sat back in the chair(he didn't have the greatest personality in the first visit), he pulls the cotton out and low a behold my hearing was way better!!, then he turns on this vacuum thing goes into my ear and sucks out the rest of the shit. My hearing and everything was amazing!!.
Finally he speaks to me and says you had a fungus in you ears, and the stuff that smells is a clover drops to kill the fungus, I asked how the hell do you get that?? he asked did you do anything different and stick your fingers in your ears??
And I remembered.... I took apart my pool heater and there was all kinds of soot, so my ears were itchy and I thought I cleaned my hand off, but there must have been some shit under my finger nails(Don't worry I am getting to my point), now he gave me a script for special infection drops just in case. And now him being much more friendly, I asked him.... Can you tell me why I had to come and see you for this?? And he literally said, the way GP walk in clinics are designed today is to get as many cattle through there office and take the fee for general visits and physicals and the medication scripts prescribed , the rest is faxed to specialist and that is the way it is done..
So I went on and said I remember when I was younger my GP did everything except major surgery, and he said you are right, but the health-care system is now not set up that way anymore, the billing system is completely different and that changes what a GP decides on how far they will go with a patient before they send it off to someone else . So I just said thank you very much for fixing me up and hope I don't have to see you again, he laughed and said you are welcome..

Now I know this specialist also does surgeries, but there are some that see you, fix you up if you don't need surgery and if you do, they send you to someone else.
The bottom line is my GP new she could fix it but it is not her expertise and would have taken her longer, and for the fee charged back to the government chose not to do it, and just book more cattle for general visits.

That is our health care system On a GP level today....

But there is some really smart GP doctors here got really smart and figured out how to get around the money cap... Open multiple walk in clinics, bring in doctors, pay them x amount of dollars, and take the rest of there cap, and if they can't build a patient portfolio(with a non compete of course!!), the GP that owns the clinic throws them out(I know this because my wife' cousin owns to walk in clinics).

Great country Canada is........

That would mean the only one left here really is you

Please make up Guys!!

Lets be real here.... you really think either one of them would know when to stop??

You have the two biggest Jackasses egos on FST going at it, Be real

[IdolEyes787]

I don't think you're seeing the bigger picture here.Mjmacky is simply Spock* to my Kirk and Meg is obviously Dr. McCoy. Think about it and see how strangely accurate this is.
This all ties nicely into my latest theory that all things can be equated and/or explained by Star Trek.

Further proof.You,Shay are a Ferengi, possibly Quark and Rart is obviously Harry Kim.Him being Asian,having few lines of dialogue,immediately forgettable and not tin any way intrinsic to the central story.

Coincidentally your wife was also found to have something black in her ear.

Of course in her case it turned out to be a cock.
