Newer not better part two

Okay, so companies are constantly looking for ways to invent themselves. Constantly changing products to stay relevant. People do this too. But when does it go to far?


When someone's life is in your hands.
We've talked before any the corruption of the medical community in different parts of the country, and sadly it happens regardless of income, stature or position, but happens more commonly with the poor. I've heard several stories of patients going into emergency rooms and being turned away for having a public insurance such as Medicaid or Medicare (and though this is illegal) many don't know their rights or are not in a position to have them enforced.


so when your loved one or yourself is undergoing treatment and it is working why do doctors go and change it. My husband recently was undergoing treatment and finally had a few of his symptoms managed and the doctor changed his regimen. No explanation, on fact we didn't even see him first. Didn't even find out until the nurse came in to administer the new treatment (my husband being in the hospital preparing for surgery) we were outraged. I immediately called our lawyer and the hospital liason, and we got it worked out, but not everyone has these resources available. The doctor had argued that this treatment is new and is supposed to be better for patients, fewer side effects, etc. But how many times have you seen those pharmaceutical commercials with an outrageous list of side effects, miraculous claims, and almost all last death as a side effect. This is not the point I originally wanted to make, but here it is. Know your rights, with doctors especially and remember that you can consult with a lawyer for free. So grab a phone book and if you don't find your answers from the first one, call another. Second, if legal means will not help you, remember that we live in an age of media. Call your local news stations, call your local papers. Ask who you can talk to to report a story on corruption and if no one listens keep calling.
