I watched my friend's (white american) momther was "killed" by the hospital because of serial mistakes in 2005. His momther was a retired nurse and knew the hospital wrong before her death. She still cut grass just less a month before her death. The family knew exact what are wrong and one thing I knew is the dosage of medicine for low theriode(jia2di1?) was wrong twice. His family wanted to sue but gave up.
I was horrified and this experience changed my life. I tried to lower my ever increased dosage of medicine for jia2di1 without success until I self learnt chinese yang2sheng2 last summer. I am free of the medicine more than three months so far. I still carefully observe how I feel.
I have no medical background,just learn from this forum, 健康养生, and watch chinese tv vedio. I don't blindly believe in anyone (as no one knows everthing) but respect and keep learning. I strongly believe that we should be in charge of our own health, learn more about our body and have resources, know the systems, and know how to cooperate.
I appreciate the knowledges share by 医者意也, 闽姑 and laolong etc.
