    Most people don’t realize what a bad doctor is until something non-traditional or scary happens to them or a loved one. 
     

    I was just at the Albany Med ER a few weeks ago with some chest pains. A woman came in, she was there the night before after a car accident. They gave her a once over, scanned her noggin, etc. told her everything was normal and sent her home. They called her and told her to come back over a day later because she had a brain bleed on her CT. But because she didn’t have any symptoms when she came in post accident nobody actually waited for the radiologist to read the CT. 
     

    Similar story, my father in law was diagnosed with cancer after a car accident. But not at the hospital. A month later when he follow up with his GP. The hospital took some imaging of his back. The doctor found a 2 or 3 tumors on his kidneys, but didn’t mention it to him because he thought he probably already knew about it. 
     

    I trust medicine and science, but doctors miss stuff sometimes. 

    yep, my father did a colonoscopy, the MD told him there were 3 polyps but did nothing to remove them.  My father has no medical training and 2 years later boom he has colon cancer with mets to the liver.  luckily he survived and is not the litigious type.  Spending 16 hours a day hopped up on Adderal to pass your pre-med classes, MCATs, etc. does not mean one has people and/or clinical skills.  That being said I have known several amazing MDs, but definitely not all of them

    I am an acupuncturist and use cupping daily.  It helps with stress, back tension, neck tension, etc.  "Wet Cupping" is when you puncture a point to make it bleed and put a cup on it. It helps with insomnia about 50% of the time.  There are several types but the most popular are "Fire Cupping" and the Korean pump cups.  Ignore the hit piece on Wikipedia about it (I heard a Ted Talk where there was a Wikipedia article on a book and the author disagreed with some of what they posted.  Wikipedia's response was that they "didn't recognize their authority".
