Terrible tragedy
My dad picked me up from working at Stop & Shop, and as soon as I walked in the door my youngest brother who might have been 10 at the time ran up to me and said “Reggie Lewis collapsed and died.”
Bias and Lewis would have torn the NBA a new one.
What could have been...

One thing that I have taken away from what happened is - YOU CAN'T LIE TO YOUR DOCTOR.
Many of us might doctor shop especially if we are told something we don't want to hear but sometimes you have to accept the truth.
I have a condition in my left eye that is genetic and when a well-respected specialist at Mass Eye and Ear says 'you are an interesting case' I needed to face it. I see him again late in August and I'll go from there.
Remember Reggie Special: Could his death have been prevented?
Tommy Heinsohn, Glenn Ordway, and Jackie MacMullan discuss whether Reggie Lewis' death could have prevented.

Ain’t that the truth. I learned that at a far younger age than anyone should.
Good luck with your eye, Fenway.
Those of us who live in or around Boston are blessed with some of the best medical care in the world.

Back in '94 I was assaulted. A 3/4" piece of glass entered my eye. After surgery to save the eye, I needed serious specialty surgery to save the vision. Since I lived in PA then, the doctor suggested Johns Hopkins as one of the only places that could do it. I wanted to come home, so I asked "What about Mass Eye and Ear?"
He replied "Oh, so you want the best."
You are in good hands.
There are now global online communities focused on health issues,literally hundreds of thousands,if not millions of people sharing experiences and treatments of health issues. There is a TV show based on this that will be premiering soon. I no longer take as Gospel what any doctor says.
no offense but this kind of thinking is how we get large numbers of people not vaccinating their children
Doctors aren’t foolproof but wanna know what’s way less foolproof? The Internet. Fools everywhere, as far as the eye can see

After four years of sobriety, my mom went off the deep end.
Saw the warning signs and attempted to help her get some help on Friday.
She flipped at work and stormed out. Attempted to check herself in at the ER and instead picked up a stranger and brought him to AA. Later on, I asked her to trust me and drove her back to the ER. After triage and a 3 and a half hour wait at the ER, she told me to go f*** myself.

sorry to hear that friend, all too familiar with addiction/recovery and unfortunately, part of that is relapse. I`m one of the very lucky one`s who once I got sober and clean, I have remained so but it`s so much more than simply not drinking/drugging and if I don`t look after the other areas of my recovery then old thoughts/behaviors creep in then possibly actions if I allow for it to get too much.
I spent almost 8 months in a recovery house at the beginning of my recovery and the phrase that was on the white board from day 1 until I left was
"recovery is about handling feelings and emotions without the need to self medicate".....too true, feel free to PM to rant or simply shoot the breeze

That’s such a tough situation. Best wishes for your mom, you and your family

Ehhhhh I may just be misreading the tone of this, but this statement is giving me a troubled reaction.
I can see it if you mean that there are other specialists in the particular area who may see something the GP doesn't, so you can go back to him like "could it be caused by XYZ?", But this kind of reads like one of those internet boards for alternative medicine who think that doctors are all lying to you and that if you just rub some lavender oil on the bottom of your foot your cancer will be cured.
Not at all,but there are people like me who kept all his bloodwork within AMA guidelines and nearly died because of it. Why? They test for the wrong effin thing. Noone ever told me I was Lp(a) positive which makes my LDL extremely malicious. Noone ever told me that wheat provokes Lp(a) to be even more malicious. They told me to give up fats and so my wheat intake increased and within a year I was 48 hours from disaster. I am part of communities where MANY people are curing themselves of everything from depression to Crohn's to DDD after years of suffering the AMA way,through drugs. Get informed.
Yeah well the doctors just took me from paralyzed and made me not paralyzed so I think I’m going to keep doing what they tell me and trust in them. Something tells me I’m better off with them than antiVaxChemTrails42069 on the Internet. Good luck with the anonymous users though!
The internet is a good place to supplement your knowledge. It’s- generally speaking- a terrible place to diagnose and treat yourself
This could be dangerous
“It is kind of like a Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee, with alcohol,” Tony Olmstead, a general manager for the Maine liquor store chain Roopers Beverage and Redemption, told the paper. “It has done extremely well for us.”

Imagine being so smug and arrogant you just assume doctors and hospitals don't stay up to date with new medical information and techniques, but f***ing randos online do.

Imagine disagreeing with people but never replying to them directly.
The medical field in this country is the best. They do make assumptions and mistakes though.

He said nothing to the topic but being smug himself.
Never engages someone directly or wants to have a conversation.
