I just wanted to vent a bit about what's going on in my life. I don't wanna over-dramatize it because really, by the grace and mercy of God, what I'm dealing with isn't that bad and when I needed it, I got the best help ever with kind doctors.
But what's just so frustrating is the inconsistancy and lack of standards and not really caring the health care system is. Now for the more serious cases I imagine it's better but yet not really.
I've been blessed with finding a naturopathic doctor which is what I believe a doctor should be, an educator and teacher about your overall well-being and health and how to maintain it. Fortunately there's a great facility in SF with fantastic naturopathic doctors but as far for other places in this country, I don't really know. all I can say is look into it!
But what really frustrates me is the modern western general hospitals/doctors that majority of people have to deal with. Unless it's a dire emergency they really don't care too much to truly help you and give you peace of mind. what I've experienced is more of a "well you made it through the emergency, our bodies are meant to recover completely so here you go, a back up antibiotic with no refills, an appointment every 6 months and no real way to reach me in-between; good luck!"
Which frustrates the living crap out of me! Hello people! I have a chronic condition! It's not just a baldder infection that went wrong, it's a whole history here people!
I'm treated as somewhat of an animal actually, now that I think about it.
But as I've said, in my moment of real need, God supplied fantastic doctors who did the right thing and genuinely cared.
I've also been blessed with an extremely close friend who knows the medical field, wants to be a doctor that reforms the system, knows how to research and find things for me that help my problem.
I can't imagine living in constant fear every day questioning whether or not I'm gonna be ok. Yes I admit I do have freak outs and sometimes even panic attacks but they are getting less and less as I learn to trust God because He is my ultimate healer and He has placed good people and resources around me. Yes the journey gets long and extremely frustrating and sometimes I say what progress has been made? What good is this? For what reason? How long do I have to endure this? But I know that God is going to take care of me, He is taking care of me, He is in charge, He has ALL the power I need, more than any meds or doctors.
Thanks God.
Hope this brought some enouragement or something....
