Its scary Jolly. I feel I'm only a dollar sign to many doctors. I've had five doctors, different professions, at different times LIE to me just for the extra bucks. I'll be seeing another doctor in October for a second opinion, having lost all faith in the one I had. It is amazing that reputable doctors will put their patients in danger, just to do useless money making tests. I had a biopsy which seemed rational..until I was told the next step was an MRI..so I always go to the internet for info.. I got a shock reading that many doctors
believe a biopsy is USELESS in this situation, unless an MRI is done first. One doctor with a large web site said doctors that do such biopsies before an MRI are MONSTERS. Because a biopsy is a hit and miss situation..unless an MRI can pinpoint locations of possible trouble IF there are any at all. So I'm having to wait THREE MONTHS to heal from the biopsy , so the MRI doesn't show "scaring ghosts" that may be construed as possible cancer. And the biopsy I had cannot go into an area where I have a 60% chance of having rapid growth cancer from a blood test result. Which makes the biopsy even more useless.
I had a meeting with him..I had many questions. One being.."why did you do a biopsy before an MRI?"
He looked like the cat that ate the canary. "Well, MRI's are expensive." Then in a lower voice...a voice of guilt.."but you do have insurance." "Oh yes, you dang MONSTER..I DO have insurance."
I never associated MRI's with this issue...and reading about biopsies never led me to the MRI
idea...until after I had the biopsy. But biopsy seemed so logical from other sites. So even when you try to get informed...sometimes you miss something. I"m not that worried..all my symptoms that usually
indicate a problem...have gone..completely.after months of having them....I prayed for such to happen two weeks before the biopsy..
knowing it was a prayer that had little chance of being answered....but it was. I told the doctor this before the biopsy and he said.."I never heard of such a thing happening." Thank you God and may the MRI also come up negative.
