New Dude, go back
Doctors never offer free treatment unless they're idealists at a clinic, you've got a case he wants to wrote up for publication, or you've got something so serious he's afraid you'll sue every doctor you ever talked to. Any way you slice it, you should at least let him look at it and see what he says.

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

A friend has a so-far undiagnosed (undiagnosable?) ailment, having to do with absorption of nutrients [cause? effect?] / lack of energy, etc.

At first, with one GI-type local specialist: the usual - not look-in-eye, not 'remember' what it was she was in for.. not ask, "so how are you doing? since last [weeks ago] visit". Te$ts. Unrevealing. Etc.

But as the possibilities are winnowed away - not merely via PDR, (the Pharm-Chem industry's Sears catalogue) but various other sources (she does her homework) -- both the AMA-type and a couple alternate folk: are now genuinely Interested. ie Attitude change\ufffd.

(Surely this shouldn't surprise. Face it -- a LOT of 'complaints' devolve to routine diagnoses, then unfollowed directions about diet or other (if.. the AMA-type is old/young enough to even think of 'diet'!) ie boring.
Give someone a prospect of the Unusual.. physics or med, and:

Well???

GO SEE THAT GUY, You Idgit!

Not a guy, S. Bagwath - she's a great doctor, and I like her tremendously. I refuse to have any doctor but her.

I simply feel bad about taking charity. But I will go as soon as my cultures are cooked. Day after tomorrow most like.

New Good point!
Doctor that reconstructed my knee (over a decade ago) waived fees - but my knee was both totally screwed up AND undiagnosable - he had a stream of interns through constantly, trying to diagnose the trouble, and to mark the recovery.

It seems that I was compensating so well that nobody could tell (via physical/external exam) what was wrong - he seemed to really enjoy all the various mis-diagnoses the interns made...
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
