I don't know whether I should trust my doctor or not -_-

My friend pointed this out about her doctor, and I realized....MINE DOES THE EXACT SAME THING.

I'm not feeling well, so I go to the doctor's office. He asks me about my symptoms, which I tell him about. He goes through the usual procedures-checking my temperature, pupils, blood pressure, etc....And tells me he doesn't know what's wrong with me!! Yet he still prescribes me medication... -_-

How can you prescribe a patient medicine after telling them you don't know what the hell is wrong with them?!

It depends what medication it is, some docs still give antibiotics out willy nilly, they shouldn't because that's how we get resistant to antibiotics. I'd definitely ask for a second opinion. Second question is he getting paid extra for prescribing your medication? Seek a second opinion anyway!

I agree with boobear. Go see a different doctor.

Listen to the other posters. Those docs sound like quacks.

they want money out of you. They are so quick to write perscriptions even if they don't know whats wrong with us. Go get a second opinion...welcome to America....Where all they want to do is dope us up instead of fixing the problems.

Exactly. I've had one quack after another prescibe garbage I did NOT need while totally blowing off what was really wrong.

This reminds me of the situation my hubby is going though.

He wrecked his knee a few weeks before Xmas 2010. He saw a doctor straight away. They said "Can't see anything wrong due to the swelling." Then gave him a prescription for an anti-inflammatory...which do absolutely nothing for him.

That did f*** all.

A few weeks later, he saw another doctor. He couldn't find anything wrong, but sent him for an MRI and X-ray. That came back as "showing nothing" and was prescribed MORE anti-inflamatory meds.

Last month, he saw a 3rd doctor who could ONCE AGAIN find "nothing wrong" and sent him for another MRI. That one came back, also showing "nothing wrong"

Why didn't one of these doctors sent him for an ultra-sound on his knee?? At least this last doctor is sending him to a specialist to see what can be done.

There is definitely something wrong with it. He'll be walking and it will give out on him, or if he turns, his knee won't, which causes him excruciating pain.

He's probably just giving you medications to deal with symptoms you have... not necessarily the disease or whatever it is you're suffering from.
