Your doctor will tell you to "get off the internet"??

How typical. It' too bad that doctors and patients can't WORK TOGETHER, whether it's using the internet for information gathering, or just to ask questions of the doctor.

I have had only ONE DOCTOR IN MY ENTIRE LIFE tell me to go ON the internet.

It was a dermatologist. I had some lesion on my hand. He takes one look at it and says: "Melody, do you know how to go on the Internet?" I laughed and said 'Are you for real, who doesn't??"

He writes on a piece of paper "Granuloma Annulare". (I'll never forget that name).

He says "sometimes it's called RINGS". This is what you have. I'll freeze it off today, it will scab, and we'll see what happens later on, But go on the internet and you'll see people WITH REALLY BAD CASES OF IT. You'll see how lucky you are".

So he freezes it in one second. I go home, I go on the internet and I saw exactly what GRANULOMA ANNULARE can do to a person's body. I had exactly one round example on my left hand.

After he froze it, I had a shadow of it for one year. Now there is absolutely nothing on my left hand.

Mind boggling.

And what's even more mind boggling, is that my doctor (who is over the age of 50), told me to GO ON THE INTERNET.

You gotta love docs who do this!!!
