After you have surgery, do you ask for the body parts they took out?

How do you know you have a great auto mechanic? When he’s done with the work he will always present you with the parts that he has removed in order to show you that the parts did need replacing, right?

                Then why is it when we go to the doctor to have surgery he no longer does the same thing? When I was a kid, if my tonsils or appendix were taken out I got them back in a jar, sick right?  When you see them in a jar you think to yourself, ”Yep they needed to come out.” You knew the surgeon didn’t just cut you open, play video games for an hour and pretend to fix something. You had evidence in your hand that the surgery was necessary and if you didn’t think so you could take that body part to another doctor and have him tell you whether the surgery was actually necessary or not.

Is that why they no longer do that? Are they afraid that you would take and use that evidence against them? What if the surgeon removed the wrong part, how would you know? When the surgeon goes in and removes a tumor, how do you know it was benign? How do you know that it was something that actually needed to be removed or replaced?

As a society we have become so trusting that we blindly hand over our lives to someone we really don’t know based on whether or not they have a degree or license. That degree that sits on the wall does not say your doctor was an A student with a 4.2 grade average. The license to practice medicine on the wall does not say how many times the doctor has been sued for malpractice.

So the next time you go to a doctor to have surgery performed ask them for the parts that they take out, and then watch the look on their face as you insist that everything that is taking out is handed to you at the end of surgery. If they object ask them why? If they refuse, (for whatever reason,) ask that the surgery be recorded on video.

When you go to see a doctor or other professional do you ask enough questions?

Why doesn’t your health insurance ask for the body parts taken out?

Are they afraid you’re going to supplement your cats diet with your body organs?

Are they afraid that you’re going to sell used body parts on the black market?

A society that assumes anything will eventually make an assumption that will prove to be fatal.

A question about medications that no one ever asked.

Medication

    99% of all people take medications without even questioning, what's in it, how does it work, or much less how does the medication know what part of the body to work on?

    But if you ask a mechanic if it is a good idea to add leak_stop to a radiator, the first thing the mechanic is going to ask you is how does it know which leak or which hole to plug? And if you've actually tried the products that say they will stop radiator leaks, you know that it doesn't work. That it generally plugs every hole in your radiator and your radiator no longer works at all.

    So why would you trust a doctor or pharmacist that says that this pill/medication that you're taking is only going to affect the part of the body that you're having a problem with? 

    Have you ever seen a medication commercial on TV that has not had a disclaimer or a list of side effects?

    And how many commercials have you seen followed by a commercial by a law firm that is filing a lawsuit against a medication that has caused injury or death?

    Have you ever really asked the doctor how a medication works? And did they give you an answer?

The next time your at a pharmacists ask them how does ibuprofen work? And how does it know to work only on my headache?

     The real question here is why are we always taking things on face value, and never asking enough realistic questions?

Blind trust should never be given simply because somebody has a degree or is a professional!

Poo? What Poo?

Yes it's poo, but before you run and hide read the question.

If your pee is a dark yellow. then you're not drinking enough water.
If your pee has a strong odor to it you may be dealing with an infection.
If you're poo floats your diet has too much fat content or that you have a high cholesterol diet.
But if you photograph or talk about your feces it is considered to be almost a sin or that you are a nut case, why? Farmers inspect and test animal feces on a regular basis to determine how healthy their farm animals are and whether they need to change their diet. Yet, it's difficult to get a human to have their urine or their fecal matter tested more than once a year, why? If you tell your wife to come look at your poo, the first thing you will hear is "Why do I want to look at your poo, it stinks?" Why should our pets and livestock be healthier, than we are? If your food is not digesting properly this can lead to health issues, but if you never look at what is coming out the other end of you, how will you ever know? If you see parasites in your dogs poo, you know your dog needs to be dewormed, but if you never look at yours how would you know if you had parasites?

Not too long ago, Japan came out with a toilet that is capable of not only washing, and cleaning you without the use of toilet paper, but is also capable of running medical tests on human urine, and excrement, and sending those test results to your doctor on a daily basis. Wouldn't this be a good idea or is it just TMI?
