I went to a Naturopath yesterday, fed up with MD's and their PA's! He did a simple urine test that found a lot of blood in the urine. They sent it to the lab and I will get the results today. I have had bad lower right back pain since March 2nd; plus a different neck, back and rib pain that persisted from 2/12 to 2/28 that now comes and goes. The lower back pain that started 3/2/03 makes it hurt to take a deep breath, sneeze, bend over, or lie on my right side, but it does not hurt to press in that area???!!! It is between the ribs and hip, more to the back than to the side. A week ago I called the MD who I saw the first time and who prescribed Levaquin on 2/8, and told him the symptoms that the PA dismissed on 2/20 as a virus were all side effects of Levaquin. He actually had the stupidity to tell me that the pain in my joints and muscles was not a side effect of Levaquin, but the vertigo was. I replied that on the literature that came with the Levaquin it says that those pains are side effects. He is blatently lying to me to try to cover his and his incompetent, unskilled PA's asses! [PA=Physican's Assistant who attends 2 to 4 years of college to become a PA with a prerequisite of 2 years of college (in I would presume fine art, since it doesn't specify) and "some" experience in health care. But they are somehow qualified to diagnose and treat. They are merely put in place so that the medical facility can (an does) charge the same amount for an office visit to see a PA as they do to see an MD, and pay the PA's a lot less, so the facility nets more profit. This is what I found at my doctors when I asked about it and when I saw that the charge to me - as a self pay until my deductible is reached - was the same to see the MD as the PA. I was told that was how the organization was set it up. They have 1 MD on staff, 1 DO and several PAs.]
