Hi Julian - what a breath of fresh air, you are! I wrote recently about what I see as the hamster wheel that doctors are on here in Australia. It's untenable.

To be honest it behooves us all to become self-informed. Doctors, even with the best intent, are unable to afford time to each patient.

In the last six months I have seen the best and the worst of doctors (yes there are self-seeking cowboys in your midst!). This cost us dearly in some ways, but we walked away when the red flags were clearly flying, fortunately into the arms of a credible practitioner.

We are able to pose questions, and ask more if necessary. We can and do, research. But there are many who simply can't. They become victims in the Big Pharma net.

But so too, do you. You too are caught in the net, unable to draw breath at times, and unable to do persona/credible l research.

I am amazed that many doctors stick around.
