After years of dealing with doctors in various specialties, I have come to realize that they don't have all the answers. Ask 3 doctors an opinion and get 3 answers. They seem to work through a process of elimination in their diagnosis. How do you know when to trust one diagnosis over another?
I have taken care of both my elderly parents and I know for a fact that less is better. The less drugs they take the healthier they are.
I have found that the best doctors prescribe the least amount of drugs. If a doctor does not explain all the pros and cons of a drug, beware!
