What Doctors Know.
Andrew Leonhart
Pardon my cynicism, but having dealt with doctors a lot during the past
year it seems to me that they know two things.
1) They know how to push pills. I just got over some very unpleasant
side-effects of some medicine I was on. 100 mg of amitriptylene caused
severe bladder spasms.
2) They know how to cut. I have had two surgeries in the past year. A
vasovasostomy and an right inguinal orchiectomy.
If those two things fail to cure you, then the problem is in your head! I
am rational and lucid and was willing to consider the possibility that my
problem was "depression". However, after examining the symptoms of
depression I have concluded that I am not depressed. Which leaves me with
the impression that my doctor has run out of ideas and is trying to "brush
me off".
p.s. I hope that this forum does not degenerate further with the two
doctors making personal attacks on each other. I for one could not care
less about their arguement.

Pardon also my question - did money happen to change hands in the above?
