Good to hear you're feeling better.
You do know that most doctors are "Medical Practitioners" because the way you describe their profession is to say that they "practice" medicine!
Doesn't that sound like a contradiction? wouldn't you think that after spending 10+ years going to medical school that you would have already had all the "practice" you needed?
That's also why most doctors will prescribe medicine based on symptoms and not causes, so that when you (inevitably) go back with new (side-effect) symptoms, they give you more medicine, and then you get different symptoms and the dance goes on and on and on.......
Take a look at ANY elderly person's medicine cabinet and ask them about what they take and why, and you will get a history of pills to counter side-effects of pills that are to counter other side-effects...etc.
I swear that half the dietary intake of ALL the elderly consists of pills, taken ALL DAY LONG!
So as my public service announcement I will state that whenever a doctor prescribes a medication, ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU CAN!!!!
"I now return you to your regularly scheduled program"
