I Don't Believe Doctors Have All the Answers

I'm getting my results for my breast and now another doctor wants to schedule another appointment. When will this end?! I never had to go in that much as a kid...well maybe. I'm so sick of these doctors appointments and tests! Ugh! Do adults go to doctors more than kids? I'm not going to another doctor. I'm young... I'm not supposed to be going to the the doctor so much. I'm 22! Not 70 no offense.
Why do I need to go back to the doctors?

As much as I do believe most American doctors are honest, there is a certain mindset many have--treat the symptoms, not the cause--so they do tests (makes money for someone), prescribe pills (makes money for someone) and have you come back many times (makes money for someone). I discovered that exercise, yoga, meditation, diet (I am now vegan) and tantra have all eliminated many of my health concerns--pain, pills, blood pressure, etc...

Well I as dont know your circumstances, I assume they are looking for cause of some issue, right? They didnt make what ever is wrong happen, but they are knowledgeable on how to solve health issues.

I have to catch up and see what's going in. In either case I am keeping thoughtful hopes for you that all is okay

@BearDownChicago I guess. I'm just tired of it.

@SassySpiceSexy not nearly as serious or severe. But I get it. I have an issue with my ankle and an autoimmune disease. No one can figure them out. Hard to work out in a bum ankle. Making me crazy

Same thing happened to me years ago when I had anemia. Both my general doctor and specialist didn't have a solid answer

Young people get sick sometimes. I hope there's nothing terribly wrong.

@DunningKruger I hope not

I was diagnosed with cancer in my early 20s. Being young doesn't mean you're invincible.
