Intregrity in the Medical field?? Does it exist?? and then again How would you k!
Question: How does one trust a new doctor?
Answers: How does one trust a new doctor?
Yes, but there's plenty of the opposite too.
I twice resigned from posts because I was asked to do thjings I considered unethical - aimed at making more money rather than being in the best interests of the patients.
(I was glad I didn't have a family to support, or the decision might have been tougher)
Finding good practitioners?
There's nothing better than the personal recommendation of friends, neighbours and colleagues. And that's not perfect.
Optometrist, retired.
Yes, it does exist, but EXTREMELY rare.
You would know by asking them some quesions.
In the case of the optical (optometry) field, you would ask them these questions:
Myope: Can you prevent myopia (neasightedness)?
Dr. 1 : Nope.
Myope: Can you control myopia?
Dr. 1 : Nope.
Myope: Can you reduce myopia?
Dr. 1 : Nope.
Myope: Can you cure myopia?
Dr. 1 : Nope
Myope: Can you fit me with a pair of eyeglasses?
Dr. 1 : Yes.
Myope: Are you an Eye Doctor or an Eyeglass Fitter?
Dr. 1 : ...............
Myope: Can you prevent, control, reduce or cure myopia?
Dr. 2 : Nope, nope, nope and ...... nope.
Myope: Can you fit me with a pair of eyeglasses?
Dr. 2 : Yes.
Myope: Why are you called an Eye Doctor if you can't do anything other than prescribing or fiting eyeglasses?
Dr. 2 : ...............
Myope : Can you prevent myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, this is the easiest thing to do.
Myope : Can you control myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, this is not that hard either.
Myope : Can you reduce myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes.
Myope : Can you cure myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, if your myopia is not too severe, like -10.00D or so.
Myope : Can you fit me with a pair of eyeglasses?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, but we do not promote wearing "corrective" glasses. What we promote is preventing and curing myopia so that you do not have to rely on the "corrective" glasses for the rest of your life. Besides, you may also have to deal with problems like retinal detachment if you do not keep your myopia under control and let it progresses year after year, thinking that it is "normal" for myopia to progress until you reach adulthood. If treated properly, myopia progression stops at childhood.

"How does one trust a new doctor?"
Since you asked, again, in the optometry field, one should not trust a doctor (and the flawed education he/she received) if he/she can't, at the very least, control myopia, i.e, stop myopia progression.
Take a look at the picture/graph (How Myopia Progresses) in this page:
http://www.geocities.com/myopiacure
And this page, How Myopia Progresses (ILLUSTRATED), which explains myopia progression:

Also take a look at this EXCELLENT narrated animation that explains nearsightedness progression and how to PREVENT NEARSIGHTEDNESS:

Dear "myopia cure promoter",
Please stop posting the same ridiculously long post.
Thank you.
It does exist, as pointed out earlier, very rarely.
You would know through conversation if the doctor is not just after MONEY. $$
Dear squatchimo,
Myopia Cure Promoter was just trying to answer allen2462001's questions about "Intregrity in the Medical field" and, at the same time promote "Intregrity in the Medical field".
I'm sorry if you find his post ridiculous. I hope doctors with Intregrity don't.
Again, I'm sorry.
The "myopia" answer makes me think that person has BIPOLAR disease!!! That answer comes from a MANIC PHASE I am sure!! Ridiculously long.
There IS integrity in the Medical field, yes, I know, I am IN that field.
Before you hire a new Dr. you should FIRST, check him out by asking around! What do your friends think of him, etc. etc. Do research, if you are really nervous!!!
Then when you go to meet the Dr. you just make a "get to know you" appointment. YES, they have them, and yes you would have to pay for the time slot, but it is worth it. If you don't like that Dr. you try a different one! That way, when you find the one you like, THEN you get your papers ect. from your old Dr.
Hope that helps!!!
You be interested in the doctor as a person. You will have to be friendly and unsuspicious and uncynical--genuinely interested. Lawyers may seem to be a necessary evil, as are car mechanics. But in each of these, they are people. If you like those people, they are much more likely to like you. If they really like you, then they are on your side. But if you look at them like angry and venomnous snakes, that is what they will be. So lighten up. I know many doctors (and lawyers) that are good as gold. Maybe they see an attitude in you and are merely giving you the minimum and get you out of the way. Or you could be going to over-worked doctors and they are simply tired and pressed to get to everyone, so some patience on your part is in order. I suspect that they are either swamped or see you have an attitude. The problem you see may not be them, it might be you. I rarely have problems with doctors (or lawyers or mechanics).
