What first freaked me out was the handmade sheets of paper he had in the waiting area touting natural products, vitamins and something like EDTA chelation therapy. <br /><br />I was not impressed with the office help. She certainly did not look as if she knew or cared about anything in the medical field, rather like a local high school babysitter that fit showing up at the office into her schedule. <br /><br />Then, during an exam, the doctor left me on lying on the exam table for a few minutes (well-covered) to take care of some business. <br /><br />The table looked ss it had been a hand-upholsterd purchase from an antique auction. I looked around, and it seemed as if the doctor's license used a slightly different name than the one I'd made the appointment.<br /><br />The doctor had left the door slightly ajar and a salesman (or maybe the plumber) passed by the room and met my eyes. <br /><br />I hopped off the table to shut the door, and decided to poke around a bit. The first cabinet I opened, was filled with 500 count bottles of ibuprofen 800 mg. <br /><br />I thought, 'is he competing with pharmacists over ibuprofen; does he give this to patients, or put a few in prescription bottle for his patients or give them the whole bottle, and what kind of labeling?' knowing it's against the law in this state for docs to dispense out of their offices. I decided to dress and leave at this point, as I wasn't interested in anything he might have to say.<br /><br />Well, I don't think this particular MD works around here anymore. I see his advertisements for a pain clinic in the big town 60 miles south, and wonder about his patients.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-34318834487649261072011-05-27T13:12:45.969-04:002011-05-27T13:12:45.969-04:00I'm not sure if number 8 should be on the list...I'm not sure if number 8 should be on the list.
