In all these cases, the problems either resolved on their
own or because of my own ministrations. Nevertheless, I was glad I sought
medical attention, mostly to find out what caused the problem: glad to learn
that vertigo is caused by out-of-place crystals in the inner ear, which I now
know how to fix; glad to know my heart is fine—some people just get
palpitations (they stopped, by the way); glad to learn that my bones are strong
(nothing broken); glad to know my immune system handled the finger infection; glad
to find out what was causing my knee problems, allowing me to work on them in
my own way.
My sister tells me that her doctor visits were rarely
helpful: “Most of my medical visits—especially specialists—have not yielded
anything real. I've had two kidney tests with radiation and injections; a lung
biopsy; carotid artery ultrasound; three-day heart tests and some I've
forgotten. None told me anything except that I had no problems.”
Try it yourself! Make a list of your doctor visits and see
what you come up with!
