why you should always ask your doctor questions

Original post by Espo22

Some doctors really are idiots and if they dont give you the answers you want then go get a second opinion and demand to get tests done on you.

My dad has been real sick for a week, he went to the doctor, which i don't like this doctor and never understood why my dad went to him. He did one test on my dad and thats it...for a week my dad has been having chest pains, he was real pale, and even walking to the bathroom would tire him out...now my dad is a person who is loud, always out and about so this was unusual...well last night my mother came upstairs to tell me my dad fainted so i ran downstairs. WHen he woke up he was very weak and didn't even have energy to talk. We called the ambulance and went to the hospital...they did a bunch of tests on him and one problem is that his cholesterol is insanely high...but the human body is supposed to have 16 quarts of blood and he only had 6 so he had to have a blood transfusion. He is feeling better now from that of course and got his color back and isn't dizzy or as weak...they have to still keep him for 24 hours bc after a transfusion they have to monitor you and now theyre going to run a bunch of tests on him.

The only thing his doc had given him were digestion pills, he should've kept on him and asked why they aren't doing more tests.

It's scary to think that there are doctors out there who should not be practicing. I am glad to hear your dad is doing better! Make sure you keep on top of him to stay healthy- I do it to my dad all the time. All the best to you and your family!!
