And I want that for my family. And I want that for you, if that's what you want.
As an adult in my twenties, I began to have physical issues and pain so severe it would wake me up in the night paralyzed. So I saw doctors to try to get to the bottom of this mystery. After all, I had insurance. (Don't even get me started on health insurance. Now, we have better laws than we had then.) The end result was that I got no help...no relief...no answers, and the insurance company cut me off, because they decided to classify this whatever-it-was, as a pre-existing condition. So in the end, not a whole lot to show for my experience but a lot of medical bills.
Then there was the time I fell at work. I was blacking out from the pain, so I got someone to take me to the emergency room. After cooling my heels for 2 hours, I wasn't in pain anymore because I was numb. The doctor who saw me heard my story, and assured me if anything was broken, I would be screaming. (Why would I be screaming when I knew there were people just a few beds away, struggling with life and death? What do they teach these guys anyway?)
When I insisted that I needed an x-ray because it happened at work and I needed documentation, he stated "I'm a 100%"--and then corrected himself "no make that 99.999% sure that you don't have any broken bones". And he refused to x-ray. (Don't ask me why. These days they can't wait to do a CT Scan, MRI, or Mammogram, so what's a little x-ray ). I kept insisting, so finally to get me to leave, he gave me a sling for my arm, and a referral to another doctor in case it wasn't any better in two weeks. I had to spend the next two weeks unloading merchandise freight off of trucks with one arm. When I finally went to the referred doctor, he took an x-ray, and said to me, "You've been doing WHAT for the past two weeks? I wish you worked for me." Because sure enough, my shoulder was broken...but healing nicely according to the doctor.
For one thing, I started practicing Yoga and my mysterious pain which baffled doctors and which even chiropractics had been unable to fix went away. Proving to my mind, that I had the ability to succeed where western medicine had failed me.
What I have a problem with is the Machine. This crazy, monstrous, corporate system which passes for medicine in the United States. This is NOT medicine. This is NOT healing. this is not Wellness or anything like it.
This is our programming. I know this is how most people in the U.S. think, because even my clients who are interested in holistic practices always choose whatever their insurance will cover as their first option. It's all about what you can afford, and how's that for a great way to keep people trapped and powerless and in that cycle?
