Staubbach falls, 297 metres (974 ft) third highest fall in Switzerland. Lauterbrunnen, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
Today's message will be short. It's something to think about and let sink in.
A woman who sat next to me at dinner last night, shared that her father passed in 2011.
He had been healthy except for blood pressure medicine his whole life. He had been feeling like something was going on in his stomach and chest but his doctors told him he was normal.
They went to Sedona, and a psychic saw the family. She said that the son and mom were okay, but for the dad something was going on in the region of the chest and stomach that needed to be checked. She said that at first they wouldn't be able to find anything, but to be persistent, and something will be found.
Sure enough, they had to see two or three opinions --primary care thought it was normal, x-ray thought it was normal, but the EGD (endoscopy) found Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer.
He didn't want chemo. He wanted to see a specialist in the Las Vegas area. But the specialist was very busy, and the first appointment was in the middle of December.
The main oncologist here pressured him to take chemotherapy. Really, really pressured him. (do know that unlike other drugs which are sold through a pharmacy, and the pharmacy makes the profits, chemotherapy is sold through the oncology office, and the physician is the one who makes the profit--ed)
He took one dose, it made his diverticulosis flare up, he went septic, and died the week after Thanksgiving.
What role does intuition play in medicine? for the patient? for the caregiving team?
clap! clap!
