    I’m soooo sooo sic of you and NOW the aweful commercial on tv about a spitting screaming ect demential patient !!!!!! I care tamed my husb fir 5 yrs thru with I almost lost my mind and Know probably he stole years of my life. I suspect any caretaker who had to care a,one without reprieve feel the same as I. He did the death of the damned. I’m just now getting myself ect my life back. And I’ve requested yet you still send me stuff. Taking care of demented ppl is a nightmare i woukd not wish in anyone. Care takers are ones who need support. Not the patients. They need care and the caretakers need protection from them. They are crazy ,,,

    Given that I began adult life, I couldn`t get enough sleeping hours. I am on day 7 of this sleeping program , Sυnodoz Plan , Go ogle it , and currently experience far better. I thought there’s no remedy to this illness I have got. I believed acquiring Eight hours of sleep at night is extremely hard to attain. The treatment how to treat insomnia is definitely amazing. It states some reasons and a procedure for various circumstances of sleep problems..

    I can point out fraud right and left in medicine, bc doctors are so used to getting away with it that they don’t even know they’re doing it!

  • @pp2072
    @pp2072 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s always best to get this procedure done in the hospital. There’s a lot that can go wrong. Surgical/ endoscopy centers are all privately run. Cutting corners and shortcuts are almost universal in the US, as healthcare costs keep rising. The procedure is best done with anesthesia, but in a stand-alone facility, there’s usually only one anesthesiologist on duty. That means there’s no backup help. It also means that supplies are usually inadequate. Every single doctor has varying skill levels he can perform. In a hospital setting, there’s always backup available, and cost cutting/ shortcuts are harder to get away with. Patient safety is more regulated and reinsured. Gastroenterologist often prefer to do procedures in an endoscopy center because they often own them (u aren’t supposed to know that), there’s no competition regarding time slots (they can do them all dat if they want)., but the real reason is all about money. Gastroenterologist who own the endoscopy centers collect the facility fee. They often create an anesthesia corporation, hire an anesthesiologist, but make a huge income on this angle by billing the insurance company directly for the anesthesia, and paying the anesthesiologist a fraction of proceeds with a small salary. They do the same for taking biopsies, and sending them to pathology lab corporations they create and own. So, a gastroenterologist can now do one colonoscopy, and be paid for the procedure, paid for use of the facility, the anesthesia, and the pathology fee. That’s more money in 20 minutes than what most people make in a month. Incidentally, this is illegal. This way of doing business break “Stark laws”. It’s illegal to refer work to yourself. Sad to say, the law will jail you for a much minor crime, but this is known but no state has acted on making an example of medical fraud.

    HOW MY HUSBAND GOT CURED FROM Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). I lost my Dad to ALS 5 years ago, he suffered from the dreaded disease for 6 years with his doctor telling us he can’t be cured and all the therapies and life support machines could not save him and 3 years later my husband was also diagnosed of the same disease and I was devastated he fainted when the doctor read the diagnosis because he knew how deadly the disease is. His condition worsened and he was unable to move and he was confined to the chair the direction the disease has taken with his body is the gradual deterioration of the “Bulgar muscle,” which controls breathing, swallowing, voice, and tongue movement. His neck muscles have weakened to the point that he can’t hold his head up and the left side of his body is weaker than the right , the doctors told me all his muscles were dead, he was able to eat via a machine because he could not swallow anything. I searched and tried different neurologists and different medicines none worked and I was so scared to lose my husband. While running up and down seeking a solution I met my friend from third grade and saw me all worked up, we got talking and in the process of discussion I told him all I am facing. He felt sad and told me about Dr. Sani who was able to cure his cousin. I was interested and he gave me his contact. I contacted him and he sent me his medicine and in a space of 4 weeks he was up on his feet again and in 6 week here covered fully. He can do normal things like walking, eating, without any assistance whatsoever. I am so amazed at the potency and effectiveness of his medicine. I decided to share my story for you not to lose hope or feel your world has ended. Simply contact him by Email: perfectherbalcure@gmail.com OR WhatsApp / call +2348118184266

    Use to offer memory screenings and found many people were retirees in their 70's who were concerned that they were getting more forgetful. Usually this was a lot due to not keeping calender where they could check it regularly, like a phone. This allowed for discussion and giving out information to watch for more significant signs. Also asked them to have primary physician do baseline to check annually.
