BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Alternative Medicine Your thoughts on doctor-patient relationship

I'm conducting research on doctor-patient relationship which is looking at people's (those who use alternative medicine and those who use mainstream medicine)views and attitudes towards doctor-patient relationship. As an alternative medicine user myself, of mainly propolis, apple cider vinegar, hempseed oil and collodial silver, I am very much critical of the doctor-patient relationship and mainstream medicine and I'm very much for treating my own health problems rather than going to the doctor. I'd like to find out if other alternative medicine/healthcare users share similar view, so I would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete this short survey. It is completely anonymous and confidential. The survey can be accessed by either directly clicking on the link below or copying and pasting it into your web address browser. Thank you for your time.

Fortunately I work for a Health Care Organization that believes in DIVERSITY and the blending of multiple health care worlds. My Sig Other would never (Ever) go see a Western medicine doctor when other options / actions are available and would never see a Doctor who was offended by the word "NO" or an honest refusal to use the "accepted Western Medicine treatment". This has changed how I think & act for both myself and the patients who come to visit me. Did you ever post the link to this survey ? TY.

Dear Bear, I am so new to a site like this. I'm having trouble bringing up your poll. I am very interested in taking it, as I've had some horrible experiences with Medical Doctors. I desperately need to find someone to help me, But I don't know where to begin. I think that my m.d. uses the fact that I have a disability, and strings me along. I've been battling a severe illness for approximately four years now, and can't find someone to get to the bottom of it. Besides the fact that Doctors are taught in med school to take at least 50% of what women come in complaining about and toss it over their shoulder, like we're making things up, exaggerating, looking for attention. Oh yes, Bear, I have much to talk about on this subject, and would like to chip in on your research. If you could please point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it. Thank You!! *Ridoggs *
