| Lloyd,
 I have to vent.....
 
 I had to get a primary MD. So I made an appt and I left his office 
              shaking.
 
 They are clueles. Clueless, clueless, clueless.
 
 He told me he wouldn't be my primary unless I went to see a liver 
              MD. He knew nothing about herbs. Even though I showed him my bloodwork 
              had improved from the first time I was dx with hep c in 2003. He 
              looked at the CBC and told me to get real numbers.
 
 I guess CBC's aren't good enough anymore. He said because of lawyers, 
              if anything happened to me while under his care, he could be sued. 
              So I have to do WHATEVER he says. Fat Chance!
 
 I will not go back to him. He was nice, but mainstream MD's are 
              CLUELESS.
 
 I've been out of the MD stream for so long, they speak greek to 
              me. They make NO SENSE. Geez!
 
 Anyway, I just had to get this off my chest.
 
 You're a sweetie. Keep informing people!

 Hi c.w.: This is a completely normal experience with doctors and hep c. 
              Does not seem right does it? Keep looking, good doctors are out there. I love your story, may I post it? I can take out your name.Please let me know.

 Lloyd,
 No, it isn't right. But I somehow think that we may be changing 
              the culture one by one by reacting to our MD's negatively when they 
              want to treat everything with drugs. I believe it plants a seed 
              somehow.
 Some health care companies are beginning to take 'alternative' 
              or really traditional medicine. After all, alternative medicine 
              has been around much longer and I therefore call it 'traditional'. 
              To me, giving a pill for everything is more 'alternative'. You've got to watch the words they label things with. Like 'friendly 
              fire', ect.
 Lloyd, I really am out of the MD loop and hope to stay out permanently.
 They know 2 things, drug and cut. That's it!
 
 Yes, you can print my letter.
 
 Best,
 c.w.
