As for the whole power of suggestion and reliability of doctors ideas... I agree and mourn. Society, media, the pharmaceutical industry - have all convinced us of what "growing old" looks like. I was at a friend's mother's 100th birthday party last week, which reminded me that we don't have to be what the world tells us to be just because of a date on the calendar.

I’ve seen similar things a number of times.<br />Sometimes doctors, lawyers, clergy and other prominent people don’t realize how powerful there words are to those who listen.<br />Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-48217625073902432322020-01-06T20:50:53.292-05:002020-01-06T20:50:53.292-05:00Working with Docs I've learned that they are h...Working with Docs I've learned that they are human and make mistakes. And frankly, with computers, I think they make more mistakes relying on the technology instead of actually looking at the patient! I think many of us worry about dementia as we get older. I'm seeing it start in my Mom who's 93. She has good days and not so good ones but thankfully she's still able to be in her own home (with my Sister who helps take care of her) and still remembers me! I hope you have a wonderful week!

I remember at 18 years of age working for a cardiologist and thinking I was having a heart attack because I had chest pain (again power of suggestion hearing elderly people coming in complaining of it).<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-41766108612873014442020-01-06T16:15:20.853-05:002020-01-06T16:15:20.853-05:00I think the power of suggestion is real - good and...I think the power of suggestion is real - good and bad.

But like so many of our generation, we were taught never to question the doctor.<br /><br />For sure, the power of suggestion is real. Back in '62? I read a book excerpt in Reader's Digest about a girl my age -- (The Triumph of Janis Babson) -- who died from leukemia. All summer I was convinced I, too, had leukemia, but was too scared to tell my parents. Such a waste of time!

I am in my 70's, I had several TIA's and a Stroke, I forget words, Anna Mae is not allowed to finish a sentence for me, nor tell me a word I can't find, I do Brain Exercises and belong to a Stroke Recovery Group !

I guess there are tests they can be snow, but not every doctor is right, they make mistakes just like we all do. I hope that if that ever comes my way, I'm not mean either. I had an aunt that turned mean and hit her sister with her cane. It's a devastating disease for all. I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
