collecting melon seeds question

[T]

I have heard that said several places before.

The big issue is that Big Med is now the number one killer (Death by medical), not heart disease. Big Med just admitted that hospital infections are now the number three killer. So, when do your use them and when to avoid them is the big question.

They have saved my life three times so far. I don't want to die of a hospital infection like my two in-laws or of punctured colon from a scan probe, as did one of my customer's mothers, or a bleed out from rat poison, as did another customers mother, etc. etc. etc.

So when to use them and when to avoid them? The Er doctor who diagnosed me with T2 was dead accurate on all his recommendations (he also was the the one who saved my life twice). The GP I went to, withheld information and I don't think he had clue other that drugs and carbs.

So how to avoid walking in and being carried out in a bag?

There is a lot of fraud in Beg Med: cholesterol testing, flue shot, acid blockers, rat poison, drugs and carbs (T2) yada, yada, yada. Seems to me you are lucky if you find an allopath that "heals" rather than gets rich off of "treating". I do know one. :-)

The main thing that has kept me alive so long is being suspicious. When we moved back to Texas in 2012 I had what had seemed to be a pretty good SS Medicare Advantage Plan. The first trigger was the foreign doctor who talked to his nurse about my health and she typed it into a laptop. I finally broke into his conversation and asked him to speak to me, not the aide. He was irate that I would speak to him and said so. I got up walked out, didn't pay my part of the visit and told him I wasn't coming back and didn't. Luckily I had not problems with my health for the last part of December 2012 and moved over to Kelsey-Seybold. I've had a couple of dud doctors with them but they didn't last long. My personal physician is a pretty good guy and laid back and damn the appointment time if you need to talk. Most of the other specialists are the same and you can quickly suss out the duds because no one wants to go to them and they don't last long.

We don't live long if we're stupid enough to put up with dud doctors from some third world country. That being said I've had a couple of good doctors from a third world country but I'm cautious about them anyway.

Today I spent to much time in the sunshine rigging netting over the fig tree to keep the !@##% mockingbird's eating our figs. The mockingbird is the state bird of Texas so I can't ping them with the air gun. I had to go in the house and stand under a cold shower until I got cooled down and that ain't a pretty sight.

me too, ATM i'm screwed, but i did it to myself so it is my fault. won't see my doc until this fall for a checkup. she looks like she's 12yrs old. a nun. nice lady. until then life goes on.

i got out and did some weed scraping and lopped off the apple tree saplings. those things have thorny branches... my plan to use them as a mulch for the strawberries will need to be adjusted. i'll let the leaves fall off and then i'll have to pick the branches out of there and bury them. would be too hard to pick/weed if i have to look out for walking on thorns.

a bit warm here today. i had a nice siesta... :) hoping for rains tomorrow.
