CHOOSING THE RIGHT DOCTOR

How many of you have gone to a doctor and paid your coworker of X amount and only get to see them for about 5-10 minutes? You wait sometimes one hour to see them for 5-10 minutes. What do they do after they ask you several questions, write up a prescription and give you medication? I am not here to bash any type of doctor, but to tell you to pick a doctor that fits you. From the time I was born until about 26 years old, I went to see Western doctors for everything. Until my first bronchitis attack, I decided to visit a friend of mine who studied a technique so different from what Western doctors studied. I was prescribed herbs for my Lungs and the bacteria that came along with it. I won't be naming any names of the supplements, herbs in any of my entries. It's been almost 4 years since I've had a deadly cough. I have just had dry coughs, but never one that sounded like I was going to spit up flem. With this type of doctor, he saw me for at least an hour every time to make sure there was nothing else going on so he can fix me. I wasn't given any medication but pure supplements. Supplements that never made me drowsy or tired. In fact, it gave me energy. So to get to the bottom line, make sure you do your research, get your recommendation when you get sick to find a doctor that suits you that will take great care of you.
