TOTALLY TOTALLY agree. It's beginning to be a serious concern of our. Pills, pills, pills no matter what, answer is always MORE pills and tests, tests, tests, for things so unrelated to the concern or complaint. One example, went for an obvious bladder infection, had all the classic symptoms. Had one many years ago, most women never forget the symptoms if they ever had one. At that time doctor knew exactly, ordered ONE test, urine of course, and prescribed antibiotic. Immediate relief. Here, so many years later, exact same symptoms, spent THREE days getting all the Rx orders filled doctor wrote for tests for everything imaginable, including a mammogram (which I rejected as I have only one place I have those), but a mammogram for what was so obviously a bladder infection with no other signs or symptoms. Some would say, "oh they are just being thorough" but I would much prefer my previous doctor before we moved here, one who went for the obvious first, and then, if symptoms did not disappear or improve greatly, would move on to more invasive tests. When they hear hoof beats here, the proceed IMMEDIATELY to Zebra's, don't even consider Horses ! Let us know if you find a skilled, knowledgeable, actual M.D. (not a "nurse practitioner" who write Rx's for pills giving at least 4-6 to everyone who comes in, even for a couple stitches !
